Academics

The academic structure at the Australian School of Abu Dhabi is meticulously designed to support the developmental needs of students at each phase. In the Early Years (KG), children experience a foundation built on play-based learning, progressing to a structured Primary Years Programme (PYP) that emphasizes inquiry and exploration.
