American International School Dubai

Monday 15 March 2010 (UAE)

KHDA inspection rating: Acceptable (report issued 16 May 2009), 9% max fee increase for 2009-2010

Some American International School of Dubai (AISD) information updated (see forum post).
Date of name change from Al Andalus School to American International School in Dubai was September 2006.
Appears to be the same website at www.aisch.net and www.aisch.ae, although www.aisch.ae forwards to http://andalussch0.web147.discountasp.net/ais-final/index.html. Ignore www.aisch.com though (is spam when checked, with nasty popups). Unknown if email info@aisch.ae still valid (updated to info@aisch.net).
Principal's name is Othman Abdel Bari according to AISD website, but spelt Othman Helmi Abdalbari according to latest information received.
Tuition fees under revision

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.
