La American International School in Abu Dhabi celebra su 25.º aniversario, habiendo sido fundada en 1995 para ofrecer a los residentes locales y expatriados de Abu Dhabi una educación americana de alta calidad, basada en estándares estadounidenses y un currículo internacional. La AISA recibió su primera acreditación en octubre de 1997 de la Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges (MSA) y en enero de 2010 fue acreditada por el Council of International Schools (CIS). La AISA ofrece educación desde Kindergarten hasta el Grado 12. Fue la primera escuela en ofrecer el Diploma del International Baccalaureate en los Emiratos Árabes Unidos y posteriormente se convirtió en la primera escuela en Abu Dhabi autorizada para ofrecer el IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). De conformidad con la normativa local, la Secundaria cuenta con separación por géneros.

Uso de tecnología en el aula
Teachers at AISA are effectively integrating technology into the curriculum and instruction in order to enhance student learning process and outcomes. Students in grades 2-6 are using iPads and older students use a Macbook. Technology provides students with the opportunity to develop skills that are essential for lifelong learners, such as research, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and problem solving. Technology integration also assists students in acquiring information, media, and technology literacy, which is crucial for our rapidly changing media and technology driven world.

Most of the teachers are from North America. The school has a few from the UK. Arabic-language teachers are from the Middle East.
Apoyo lingüístico para estudiantes con nivel de inglés no fluido
English Language Learning (ELL) is a program that supports students within the early stages of English acquisition. The ELL Specialists work with small groups and occasionally one-on-one as needed. They also collaborate closely with homeroom teachers. Although the time-frame varies, typical ELLs develop their language skills and, by the time they reach a certain level of proficiency that allows them to have more independent social and academic success, they exit the program. The ELL Specialists are a great resource for teachers when it comes to supporting the language development of all students.
Students entering Grades 6-12 must be able to demonstrate at least intermediate proficiency in English.
Clases de idiomas adicionales ofrecidas por el colegio
Arabic for native and non-native Arabic speakers is mandatory . French is offered in Middle and High School and Spanish is offered in the IB Diploma Program.
