Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Mirdif American School was founded in 1995 as an American-based curriculum school. In September 2009 the school relocated to a newly purpose-built campus, and in September 2010 expanded to include grades 7 and 8 to reach the three levels of Kindergarten, Elementary and Intermediate. In 2018, upon receiving NEASC accreditation, the school updated its name to Mirdif American School to reflect the educational culture. The size of the school and the limited numbers ensure that a friendly atmosphere is maintained and that individual student potential is valued.
The MAS community emphasizes engagement through school-led events and formal partnerships. The school reports 15 community partnerships, reflecting collaborations with external organizations. The Photo Gallery documents family- and student-life events such as Mother's Day, International Day, Earth Day, and 100 Days of Happiness, illustrating cultural and community activities. The site highlights ongoing initiatives such as MAS News, MAS Innovates, and MAS Gives to share community activities and achievements.
Public materials describe parent engagement through formal and informal channels rather than a named PTA. The school arranges parent-teacher meetings throughout the year to discuss progress, and parents can reach the school via a contact form and WhatsApp groups. The Schoology portal is used as a communication channel among parents, teachers, and students, with additional updates available through the school's online presence. Regular parent-teacher communication and volunteer involvement in events, as well as calendar-driven activities, are the main avenues for parent participation. There is evidence of family involvement in events such as Mother's Day and International Day, as shown in the Photo Gallery. The school calendar indicates scheduled dates for events and activities that families may participate in through school-organized efforts.
