PRINCIPAL'S NOTE
Inspiring Excellence Through Global Education
SAMA International School (SIS) – Galileo Campus, located in Khalifa City, is the founding campus of the SAMA International Schools group . It offers the American Curriculum within an IB World School framework , enriched by its Italian heritage and shaped by the values and ambitions of the UAE. Together, these elements define a distinctive educational identity: UAE-rooted, internationally minded and academically ambitious, combining rigorous academic standards with inquiry-based, global learning.
At SAMA International School, I believe every child should be challenged, supported and inspired to reach their full potential. High-quality teaching, student wellbeing, strong relationships and a positive school culture create the conditions for students to thrive academically and personally.
With more than a decade of leadership experience in the UAE, I believe successful schools are built through high expectations, collaboration and genuine partnership with families.
