Abu Dhabi School of Management (ADSM) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Al Ikhlas Private School, establishing a collaborative partnership aimed at expanding educational opportunities, supporting student development, and strengthening engagement between secondary and higher education.
The MOU was signed by Dr. Marc Poulin, President of Abu Dhabi School of Management, and Mr. Faysal Jeiroudi, Director of Al Ikhlas Private School, representing a shared commitment to creating meaningful academic and professional opportunities for students.
Under the agreement, ADSM and Al Ikhlas Private School will collaborate on a range of initiatives designed to enhance students’ exposure to higher education and the business environment. These include specialised business workshops delivered by ADSM experts, educational visits, joint events, career fairs, industry networking opportunities, work experience, internships, and other activities supporting the academic and professional development of students.
A key component of the partnership is enhancing access to higher education through dedicated scholarship opportunities for eligible Al Ikhlas Private School students. The agreement provides a range of scholarships for qualifying students entering ADSM, including competitive awards for high-achieving Grade 12 students, alongside scholarship opportunities for students who meet ADSM’s admission requirements. The partnership also extends educational benefits to eligible Al Ikhlas Private School staff pursuing master’s programmes at ADSM.
Through this collaboration, students will also have opportunities to engage with ADSM’s academic community, facilities, expertise, and activities, helping them gain greater exposure to areas such as business, management, entrepreneurship, and future career pathways.
The partnership reflects ADSM’s continued commitment to working closely with schools and the wider education community to support students in their transition to higher education, broaden access to academic opportunities, and equip future generations with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in an evolving business environment.
