Mr. Nasib Alameri
Chairman, Premium International School
“The greatest use that can be made of wealth is to invest it in creating generations of educated and trained people.” (Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Founder of the UAE)
The vision of our late founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, continues to illuminate the path for our nation—and for us as educators. His unwavering belief in the transformative power of education is the very foundation upon which Premium International School (PIS) is built. His words are not just remembered—they are lived through every decision we make, every value we uphold, and every child we serve.
At Premium International School, we view education as a noble national mission—one that goes far beyond textbooks and exams. It is a sacred trust and a powerful tool for shaping minds, refining character, and preparing future leaders. Inspired by the legacy of Sheikh Zayed, we are committed to establishing a school that reflects honesty, integrity, responsibility, and respect in all aspects of its work.
PIS was founded on a clear belief: that quality education must be transparent, equitable, and inclusive. We believe that every child deserves access to world-class learning opportunities, regardless of their background or academic starting point. We champion equity and equality as essential pillars of an empowering and compassionate learning environment.
Education at PIS is not a system of conformity—it is a journey of discovery and personalized growth. We are dedicated to making a difference in each child’s life—not only academically, but morally and socially. Our goal is not simply to prepare students for the world—but to help them improve it.
As Chairman, I hold a deep conviction that values and character must guide all educational practices. We take pride in cultivating in our students a strong sense of ethics, moral integrity, and civic duty. At the heart of everything we do is our respect for the UAE’s rich heritage, national identity, and cultural values. This is not a peripheral mission; it is central to our school’s DNA.
” Empowering Futures, Preserving Identity ,,
Our guiding motto Reflects our dual commitment: to give students the tools to thrive in an ever-changing world, and the roots to remain grounded in who they are and where they come from.
At PIS, we prepare children not just for success in school—but for significance in life. With world-class facilities, dedicated educators, and a vision anchored in national pride and global excellence, I am confident that this school will become a beacon of hope and distinction for families in Al Ain and beyond.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to every parent who places their trust in us. Together, let us raise a generation of learners, leaders, and citizens who honor Sheikh Zayed’s legacy by turning it into living reality—one student at a time.
With deep respect and unwavering commitment,
Mr. Nasib Alameri

Executive Principal & School Director, Premium International School
It is with great pride and a deep sense of responsibility that I welcome you to Premium International School (PIS)—a school born from a vision to redefine excellence in education while staying true to the values and identity of our community.
As a passionate educational leader with extensive experience in the UAE of more than 28 years, I have dedicated my career to creating environments where students thrive—not just academically, but personally and socially. My journey has been guided by a strong belief in the untapped potential of every child. I have led schools through improvement, innovation, and impact, always prioritizing what matters most: student growth, inclusion, and wellbeing.
What defines my leadership is a personal, heartfelt commitment to every single learner. I believe that each child is capable of greatness when given the right support, care, and belief. At PIS, we are not just focused on performance—we are dedicated to unleashing capabilities, building on strengths, and helping students discover their voice, their talents, and their place in the world.
Our school is grounded in a philosophy of empowerment through personalized learning. We invest in each child’s journey with the goal of unlocking their confidence, independence, and curiosity. As Principal, I work closely with our students, staff, and parents to ensure that no child is ever overlooked, and no potential goes unrealized.
One of my core strengths is building capacity—not only in students, but also in staff and parents. I believe that a successful school must function as an academy of growth for its entire community. At PIS, professional learning, student leadership, and parent collaboration are all pillars of our vision. My approach is to lead with clarity, compassion, and conviction—ensuring that each stakeholder feels valued, involved, and inspired.
In leading PIS, I bring not only academic leadership but also a profound cultural sensitivity—ensuring that while we meet international standards of excellence, we remain fully anchored in the heritage, language, and moral values of the United Arab Emirates. Our motto,
“Empowering Futures, Preserving Identity,”
is a true reflection of what I believe education must achieve.
Above all, I strive to foster a school culture of respect, belonging, and joy, where learners are emotionally safe, intellectually challenged, and socially connected.
I am excited to start this journey. Together, we will raise a generation of confident, capable, and compassionate leaders of any domain they acquire, who are prepared to shape the future—without ever forgetting who they are.
With sincere dedication,
Dr. Alaa Hameed Aljuburi

A Voice for Excellence and Community
At Premium International School (PIS), the Board of Governors plays a pivotal role in shaping the strategic direction of the school, ensuring that excellence, accountability, and community engagement remain at the heart of our journey. The Board serves as a guiding force in school development—offering insight, oversight, and support to ensure that the vision of “Empowering Futures, Preserving Identity” is fully realized.
The strength of our Board lies in its diversity. It brings together members of the Board of Directors, parent and student representatives, school leaders, educators, academic professionals from higher education, staff members, and respected community figures. This carefully selected body reflects a broad spectrum of perspectives and expertise, ensuring that decisions are informed, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of all stakeholders.
Our Governors are deeply involved in the life of the school. They work alongside the leadership team to monitor performance, support strategic planning, review key outcomes, and maintain a sharp focus on both academic excellence and student wellbeing. More than a governance structure, the Board is a living expression of the values we uphold—transparency, equity, innovation, and cultural integrity.
Importantly, the Board of Governors also serves as a bridge between the school and the wider community. It ensures that the voices of students and families are heard in meaningful ways and that our work remains aligned with national priorities, including the UAE Vision 2031 and 2071. The Board actively supports our efforts to build a school culture rooted in belonging, respect, and shared purpose.
At PIS, governance is not about control—it’s about collaboration. Our Board members are partners in progress, committed to empowering learners, guiding educators, and strengthening the school as a hub for growth and excellence across the entire community.
