History

Abu Dhabi Indian School was initially based at the old Indian Social Center (ISC) premises in the year 1975. It was established to provide educational facilities for the Indian community in the UAE. The school was able to have its own campus by 1980, with the help of the Late UAE President, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who donated a plot of land in the Shabia Muroor Area to the Indian community. On 14 September 2014, in the Al Wathba region in the outskirts of Abu Dhabi city, the first external branch of the school opened up with the official name of Abu Dhabi Indian School-Branch 1, Al Wathba (ADIS-1) with an independent administrative system. In 2019 the strength of the new school was 3300 students with 240 teachers.[3]
