VIPS is a school with its vision set firmly on the future.

In the year that H.H. Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan announced 2015 to be the "Year of Innovation", Virginia International Private School (VIPS) opened its doors to the children of Abu Dhabi.

At VIPS we are committed to provide our students with the qualities and skills that will be essential for a citizen of the 21st century. Our school is a learning organization for each and every child and we carefully monitor and respond to their varied needs.

Our teachers work collaboratively in a supportive environment to bring discovery and fun to the classroom. We will clarify our learning expectations, monitor individual student progress toward those expectations and provide appropriate support that ensures positive learning outcomes.

Dear Parents,

As Acting Principal, I am both honored and enthusiastic about guiding our school community toward even greater success. At Virginia International Private School (VIPS), I am committed to providing a value-based education that nurtures not only academic growth, but also character development. Our core values of REACH- Respect, Excellence, Aspiration, Courage, and Honesty are at the heart of everything we do.
These values shape our interactions, decisions, and the way we approach learning, ensuring that each student develops into a compassionate, responsible, and successful individual. We are committed to ensuring that every student feels safe, happy, and empowered to succeed.
As acting principal, I am committed to guiding our school community with these values at the forefront of our work. VIPS is truly a special place, and I am confident that, by working together, we will accomplish remarkable things in the months and years ahead. I am dedicated to creating an environment where students of all ages can celebrate their cultures and traditions while also developing the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the 21st century and for our students to become leaders of their community and successful across the globe.
I look forward to working with all of you to make this year one of growth, learning, and success. My door is always open, and I encourage you to reach out with any questions, ideas, or concerns as we embark on this exciting journey together.

I would like to point few things on my review on VIPS, We have observed a huge positive impact on my child who is currently in Pre K, he has improved in terms on learning, being more responsive, personality has improved, improved in reading, and writing at this young stage. His teachers are doing a great job which makes him love going to school and not miss a single day. Which shows the true colors of the school. Thanks all for your continuous efforts,
