Principal's Welcome Letter

It is a great honor and privilege to be the School Director of AlItqan American School where we set high academic standards and support students in realizing their full potential. AlItqan American School located in Al Azra, Sharjah, is known for its academic rigor, broad and balanced opportunities, child-centered pastoral care, innovative and high quality teaching, state of the art IT facilities and ultimately well-rounded students.  Here, positive learning experiences where students can thrive and develop as individuals in a secure and caring environment. Every child is cherished and supported both through their achievements and challenges.

We at AIAS are proud to be part of the UAE VISION 2021 NATIONAL AGENDA initiated by SHEIKH MOHAMMED BIN RASHID AL MAKTOUM which includes eight key objectives to pave the way towards the next phase of outstanding education in the UAE which we wish to be part of.

We as a school aim to spark intellectual curiosity and encourage students a love of learning in a family orientated environment where they feel secure by being treated as an individual.  We believe in high quality bespoke pastoral support, which recognizes each child with unique needs.  At all stages of the educational journey, students learn from both their teachers and their peers.  We strive to create a talented yet diverse student community where children thrive in each other’s company and appreciate different perspectives.
