As a nonprofit school, our annual gala is our largest fundraiser and has a tremendous and positive impact on our students. The gala enables us to take our school to the next level in a way that is not possible with tuition alone. By investing in the excellence of our teachers and our programs, we are ensuring ACS continues to deliver the very best education for our students to thrive in a world yet to be imagined.
The generous support from our community enables ACS to continue to invest in opportunities for excellence. Investing in the future leaders of tomorrow requires great support of their education today!
2026 ACS GALA
Due to the current situation in the region, we have made the thoughtful decision to postpone the 2026 ACS Gala until the 2026-27 school year, because the safety and well-being of our community is our highest priority. We are deeply grateful that the United Arab Emirates remains a nation that consistently demonstrates its strong commitment to the safety, support, and well-being of all who call it home.
Building on the success of last year’s Gala, which raised over AED 1 million thanks to the generosity of more than 500 supporters, the rescheduled event promises to be just as impactful - if not more so. In a world that often feels divided, the theme of the gala -- Igniting Compassion -- will bring us together around empathy, integrity, and connection. By nurturing compassion, we are shaping thoughtful leaders who will help create a more just, caring, and hopeful tomorrow.
We are deeply thankful for your continued support and look forward to a time when we can come together in celebration and support of ACS.
