UAS Philosophy

Universal American School (UAS) continually dedicates its fiscal and human resources towards preparing students for both immediate and on-going success in an ever changing and challenging world.  Virtually all graduates continue their formal education by attending some of the finest international universities.  UAS empowers its students to be able to comprehend the importance, appreciate the significance, and respect the Arabic language, culture, traditions, and religion, while using English as the basic means of communication and instruction.   UAS strives to develop in all its students the capacity to become productive, ethical, and moral participants in a culturally diverse and technologically advanced global community.

UAS believes that demanding, stimulating, effective, and caring instruction significantly enhances academic and personal development and growth in all students.   Such instruction occurs best and yields its greatest rewards when it occurs in a learning community . . . a supportive community that establishes high expectations for student behavior, conduct, and achievement and believes students, families, and the general public must share responsibility for establishing and nurturing the finest teaching and learning environment possible.

UAS further believes that the diversity of its student body in itself is a source of strength that should be respected, nurtured, and celebrated.
