IB Courses Pathway

At The British International School Abu Dhabi, we offer the regular IB Diploma Programme and BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma, but we also pride ourselves on providing a bespoke programme that is tailor-made to cater to our student’s unique needs. The IB Courses Pathway is an example of one of our tailored pathways. 

The IB Diploma Courses pathway offers more flexibility in terms of the number and level of subjects studied than the full IB Diploma Programme, but still provides a pathway to some degree programmes and to numerous degree programmes with a foundation year. 

Example pathways for students pursuing IB Courses include studying English Language and Linguistics at the University of the West of England, in Bristol, UK, Audio Engineering at SAE Institute in Dubai, UAE, and Hospitality at Les Roches, in Marbella, Spain.

Global learners
Our oldest students’ morning kicks-off with tutor time. Our IBDP gives students a global perspective, and chalkboard, Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS), and wellbeing activities are a great way to start the day.

Do your own thing
No two students’ days are the same. Why? Because our personalised approach to teaching means that every child follows their passions, forging their own path to success. For some that means building robots in our STEAM lab; for others, learning Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony in one of our music suites.
