International Community School

International Community School is a private K-12 school located in Abu Dhabi. The school was first established in 1990 and caters to over 1500 students almost exclusively of Arab origin, including Egyptian, Jordanian, Palestinian, Syrian and Emirati citizens, and a mixture of Canadian, American, Filipino and Asian nationalities.

The school is licensed as an American curriculum school, with a four-year concession to continue with a British curriculum which has been offered at the school for many years. According to a recent ADEC (Abu Dhabi Educational Council) report, results in English and mathematics in IGCSE, AS and A2 examinations are very high and exceptionally high in science. The proportion of students gaining the top grades “far exceeds international averages. Students following the American program exceed UAE norms by a wide margin and are broadly average compared with international benchmarks”. In Arabic, Islamic and Social Studies, standards are also above average, reflecting good teaching in those subjects.
