DUBAI: Committed to the vision of Dubai and the UAE in highlighting the important role of youth in the local communities and creating a knowledge based economy, AMSI opens a new school that focuses on shaping a generation of innovative thinkers and achievers.

Al Mawakeb Al Khawaneej, third in the series of Al Mawakeb schools, is ready to welcome the first batch of students in September 2018. The school will be enrolling students from Pre-K to Grade 8 in the first phase.
