Aesthetically engaging, the school’s admin block, auditorium and boathouse resemble ship hulls floating on the shoreline.


Located in Abu Dhabi’s Al Bahya district, the Amity International School occupies a large and attractive plot close to the water’s edge. Designed to host 3,000 students from pre-kindergarten to senior year the school offers a premium educational environment. Its interconnected and student-focused campus enhances the learning experience and encourages students to interact with one another.

The school’s masterplan features distinct zoning between academic, sports and residential areas. This ensures the safety and security of students as well as residents. A similar approach is adopted for roads and pathways, where clear circulation routes guide users around the school. The main entrance is carefully articulated along the south of the site. For added safety, pedestrian and vehicular corridors are separated from one another, while designated paths lead to the open play areas.

Aesthetically engaging, the school’s major buildings such as the administration block, auditorium and boathouse are designed to resemble ship hulls floating on the shoreline. Recreational facilities including the auditorium, sports hall, planetarium and swimming pool are all arranged under a curved sweeping roof. This creates a strong sense of visual identity, and also imparts a grand and stately feel.
