A Guide to the Best Schools in Abu Dhabi: West Yas Academy

A brief look into West Yas Academy in Abu Dhabi.

West Yas Academy students follow the renowned Massachusetts State Curriculum which offers a dynamic and challenging approach to learning. Because the school isn't bound to an old-fashioned, restrictive syllabus, they are able to develop their content and pedagogy to match the needs and interests of students here, now and in the future.

The school develops aptitudes and abilities in the usual broad range of disciplines but also specialise in creative technologies such as Engineering, Computing, Robotics, Electronics, and Art.

Their students learn calculus but also cookery, English but also entrepreneurship. The High School Diploma they obtain is welcomed in universities around the world, and the skills and attitudes they develop are solid foundations for life.

1.) World Leading Sporting Opportunities

3.) Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow

Enterprise skills enable West Yas Academy students to recognise commercial opportunities. The school teaches them these skills, whilst nurturing their self‐esteem to give them the confidence and knowledge to act.

What is West Yas Academy's Curriculum?

The American Massachusetts State Curriculum is the most highly regarded of all study programmes in the United States. With close ties to prestigious universities such as Harvard and MIT, it stands above other curricula for its rigorous, comprehensive, and forward-thinking design.

It’s considered to be more demanding – and therefore more rewarding – than the American Common Core Curriculum.

Students at West Yas Academy work towards the American High School Diploma, which is the standard qualification to enter leading US universities and colleges. The diploma is also increasingly being recognised by other leading higher education institutes across the world.

What Are the Facilities Like?

West Yas Academy boasts a wide range of sporting facilities for activities both during and after school. The dedicated arts facilities allow students to explore their creative sides, while an extremely well-resourced library supports academic studies.

As the premier school of choice on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, the school regularly utilises links to the many attractions situated here and works in collaboration with them to enhance their engaging 21st-century curriculum.

Students have opportunities to work on projects such as the F1 in Schools Program with Yas Marina Circuit, for example.
