Principal's Message

Salam Aleykum,

I am Mr.G. (Paul Grimaud). I am happy to have the opportunity to serve students, serve parents, serve staff, and serve the MAS community. The Manthena American School Team is dedicated to continuous improvements to ensure the growth of every student and the lifelong success of ALL students.

I have a 17-year experience in education as a Teacher, HOD, Curriculum Coordinator, Vice Principal, and Principal. I am a Masters and Postgraduate degree holder in Education and Management, have IB experience, and am a certified U.S. Principal. I am a steward who pays attention to the details, builds others up, and challenges all toward higher levels of rigor and outcomes for students.

Real life success does not depend on Marks or 100%. Life is about failing, falling, and striving to be better. Our goal is to align with Zayed's Vision and the UAE Agenda to be # 1. The UAE began with thoughts, words spoken, a vision, and relentless actions. We want the thoughts and actions of MAS students to manifest, so they create the futures they want for themselves. Our focus is on teamwork to help students become the best Doctors, Lawyers, Businessmen/women, astronauts, entrepreneurs, engineers and Police.

As a Team, our target is to reach Very Good in our next SPEA inspection for our MAS Students & community.
Forever Learning,

Paul Grimaud Principal
