- AIS Dubai (AISD?) accredited by the Commission on International Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA) 11 May 2007.
- Domain www.aisch.ae forwards to the clumsy looking URL http://andalussch0.web147.discountasp.net/ais-final/index.html. Don't panic.
- Also or previously called Al Andalus School / Alandalus School / Al Andalus Private School Dubai. KHDA still lists school as Al Andalus / AlAndalus. There is also an Al Andalus Nursery and Al Andalus Academy, both in Al Ain, and there is an American International School in Abu Dhabi (unknown if any of them are related to Andalus / AIS in Dubai).
- The domain www.andalus-school.com is spam, www.alandallus.com and www.alandalus don't load, unknown if the domain www.andalus.sch.ae is related to the school.
- AISD is unrelated and quite different from the American School Dubai in Jumeirah.
- According to the KHDA, Andalus School applied for a 30% fees increase for 2008-2009 but was only allowed a 16% increase (which was the limit set for most schools).
- There is a report (undated) that the Pan American Academy Limited (PAA) and AIS Dubai plan to establish a Canadian International School program from grades 1 to 12 using the British Columbia curriculum. See Pan American Academy Dubai for more information.
