Abu Dhabi National Schools

Abu Dhabi National Schools (ADNS) is a well-established group of private schools in Abu Dhabi offering the UAE Ministry of Education (MOE) curriculum alongside international elements, serving both Emirati and expatriate students from Kindergarten through Grade 12, ages 4 to 18. Founded with the mission of providing high-quality education that aligns with UAE national values and international academic standards, ADNS has grown into one of Abu Dhabi's prominent private school groups. The schools follow the MOE curriculum with instruction in both Arabic and English, incorporating Islamic Studies, Arabic Language, Social Studies, and UAE History alongside Mathematics, Sciences, and Humanities. Regulated by ADEK, ADNS schools consistently achieve strong inspection ratings. The schools are equipped with modern classrooms, laboratories, libraries, and sports facilities, and offer a rich programme of extracurricular activities including sports, arts, and cultural events. ADNS plays an important role in preserving Emirati identity and culture while preparing students to compete in a globalised world, making it a preferred choice for Emirati families and Arabic-speaking expatriates in Abu Dhabi.
