Within three years the school has become one of the leading international schools in Dubai. The school will be rebranded and acquire its new name - Ambassador School in April 2013, the beginning of the next academic year and will continue to follow the ICSE curriculum. The school is built on educational excellence with world-class quality standards and benchmarked against the best schools across the globe.

We have carefully designed a variety of programs for each of our sections - for the Kindergarten, Primary, Secondary and the Senior Secondary level. It is the inner impetus of the management to establish an institution that will produce graduates who are competitive in this modern world.

It is about building character and empowering each individual to be an enthusiastic life long learner and a global citizen for the future. The core values of Ambassador Education are learning for life, involving for innovation, fostering for future and educating for excellence thus ensuring an ideal environment for our students to learn and excel.
