Leya Samhoun, Class of 2020, American School of Dubai (ASD)
Being an ASD student since kindergarten, the school has shaped me into a person who is driven, passionate, empathic and has a greater worldview — the ability to understand situations from a variety of different perspectives. This has come from the immense impact my teachers have had on me and the amazing opportunities offered at the school such as service trips.
Through my time at the school, I have also been guided through the process of choosing a university that will help fulfill my vision.

Ayesha, Year 7, The Aquila School
My school has helped me in more ways than I could have imagined. From their engaging lessons to their nurturing environment fostering a close staff/student bond, it’s nothing short of amazing. When I started at The Aquila School, I had two things in mind — sports and academics, and I have always wanted to become a lawyer. My Year 6 teacher introduced me to debating and encouraged me to think about topics like justice and equality.She encouraged me to speak my mind and supported me with my learning targets. Going on to Year 7, I received the same kind of support from my teachers. The opportunities I received in Aquila in representing our school in sports are unparalleled.

From winning the netball division league as a captain to representing our school in swimming, I have achieved a lot as a student of The Aquila School. The school continues to support my musical aspirations, allowing me to showcase my piano performances. Practical experiences gained from organising events like the school opening and KHDA tours all allowed me to absorb, practise and apply the learnings our teachers instilled into us.
Samir Maarouf, Senior, American Community School of Abu Dhabi (ACS)
I’ve watched my classmates take risks, grow and become the confident individuals they are today because of the nurturing environment that ACS fostered.
ACS has taught me many things, but it is the importance of hard work and self-confidence that will best prepare me for the future. My teachers continuously emphasised that a student is not learning unless he/she is struggling, which has given me a rich understanding of work ethic and that perseverance pays off. Additionally, some of my best work was created when I felt confident in my decisions.
