In a remarkable achievement, UAIMS has been awarded the Global Standards for Health Promoting Schools (GSHPS) award, honoring its exceptional dedication to fostering a safe, inclusive, and health-focused learning environment.

The GSHPS framework, developed by international health and education organizations, sets a global benchmark for schools striving to integrate health promotion into all aspects of school life. Receiving this award signifies that UAIMS not only meets but exceeds these standards—prioritizing student well-being, inclusive education, and community involvement.
To achieve the GSHPS designation, the school implemented several key initiatives, including:
Health education across all grade levels, promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Regular health screenings and nutrition programs, ensuring students have access to essential health services.
Mental health support and peer counseling, fostering a supportive and stigma-free environment.
Strong community engagement, involving parents, local health workers, and other stakeholders in school health activities.
The award positions UAIMS as a leader in holistic education, where academic success is supported by a solid foundation of physical and mental health. The school will be recognized in an upcoming international GSHPS forum, where it will share its journey and inspire other schools worldwide.
With this achievement, the school reaffirms its commitment to creating a healthy, safe, and empowering environment—one where every student can thrive.
