Dear Students, Parents, Colleagues, and Community Partners: I am Dr. Sabrina Barnette from Charlotte, North Carolina, USA. I would like to welcome you all to the official website of Ocean American School in Abu Dhabi (OAS). It is my honor to serve as Principal. OAS is a learning environment where dedicated educators, along with parents, and other stakeholders work collaboratively to support and challenge our students to become successful, innovative individuals, and effective team players. OAS offers an American curriculum based on well-defined and internationally recognized American education standards while integrating relevant and meaningful international benchmarking and enrichment programs to guide curriculum, instruction, assessment, and extracurricular programs. The OAS community embraces and nurtures its cultural diversity and multiculturalism. We are proud to have a warm, inviting, and diversified learning community where all members work together in harmony and respect to achieve their common goals and support each other’s needs. While we emphasize a rigorous academic course of study, we recognize and appreciate the value in nurturing the unique interests, talents, and skills of our students through our academic and enrichment programs. This will be evident in our rich Performing Arts and Sports programs. With an active parent engagement, strong community connections, OAS will serve as a model for holistic educational excellence. Thank you for visiting our website. I look forward to welcoming you inside of our school.
