RD American School welcomed its founding students through a soft opening in January 2026, allowing our school community to grow intentionally from the very beginning. Our Official Opening takes place in August 2026 as we expand into Middle School and continue building our vibrant learning community.
This phased approach ensures every student benefits from personalized attention while helping shape the culture and traditions of our school.
RD American School combines the academic strength of an American curriculum with the science of learning and a deeply personalized approach to education. Every student is known as an individual, challenged academically, and supported socially and emotionally through purpose-designed learning environments and meaningful family partnerships.
RD American School offers an American curriculum that develops critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, and leadership. Learning is inquiry-based and designed to prepare students for success in high school, university, and life beyond the classroom.
RD American School currently offers Elementary School (Grades 1–5) and Middle School (Grades 6–8). Our High School will be introduced in future phases of the school's development.
An American curriculum offers students a broad, flexible, and future-focused education that balances academic rigor with creativity, critical thinking, communication, and real-world application. Rather than focusing solely on examinations, it encourages students to ask questions, explore ideas, collaborate with others, and take increasing ownership of their learning.
It also provides a well-recognized pathway that supports continuity for internationally mobile students and prepares learners for future study in the United States and other leading universities around the world. At RD American School, this approach is strengthened through personalized learning and research-informed teaching, helping each student build both strong academic foundations and the confidence to thrive in a changing world.
The Science of Learning brings together research from cognitive science, psychology, and education to better understand how children learn. At RDAS, these evidence-informed practices help create engaging learning experiences that strengthen understanding, retention, and long-term success.
