Virginia International Private School

Virginia International Private School Virginia International Private School is a new Premier American School opening its doors in 2015 to the children from KG 1 to Grade 12 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. VIPS is a school with its vision set firmly on the future. At VIPS we are committed to provide our children 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 supports that ensure positive learning outcomes. Through our commitment to the integration of the arts and music subjects with science, technology engineering and mathematics, we ensure that students become aware of the connectedness of the different disciplines that constitute a school’s curriculum. We do not forget either that a healthy body is as important as a healthy mind and the importance we place on physical activities, nutrition and sport complements the academic activities in which our students participate. Our commitment to the success of all students, means that we recognize the importance of maintaining a safe, supportive and respectful learning environment. We utilize a Responsive Classroom approach as a framework to build positive interpersonal relationships among students and faculty and to develop a collective responsibility for maintaining a positive school culture. VIPS encourages active parent and community participation in our daily activities. Opportunities to volunteer are numerous and vary based on parent interests, availability and classroom needs. Parents are encouraged to join us as guest readers, library support, or presenters during classroom-centered activities. Research and experience tells us that when parents are involved at school, the performance of all the children at school improves.

Art Meets Science in KG!🧫

Our little explorers had an exciting hands-on Art and Science session where creativity met curiosity!
Students experimented with color mixing, discovering how new shades are created, and observed the magic of the bouncy egg experiment, learning about chemical reactions in a fun, visual way. 🧪🥼

It was a joyful day filled with smiles, teamwork, and discovery — nurturing both the artist and the scientist within each child!

Safeguarding at Virginia
As part of last week’s safeguarding week, and during Friday assembly, our secondary boys engaged thoughtfully in discussions about staying safe, supporting one another, and speaking up when something doesn’t feel right.
Through real-life examples and interactive moments, they reflected on how every voice matters in building a respectful and caring school community.
We’re proud to see our students growing not just in knowledge, but in responsibility and empathy. 💙
Together, we continue to make our school a safe, strong, and supportive environment for all.
