Dear Parent(s),

It gives us great pleasure to share with you an overview of the International & National Residential School Trips & Visits that will be taking place - subject to ADEK approval - next academic year, 2023-2024. We hope that by allowing you to see all the trips in one place, you can ensure that you choose the most appropriate trip(s) for your children, to ensure that they benefit from the wonderful opportunities available to them.

Robots and Humans

I’ve dedicated my career to improving young peoples’ intelligence only to discover that the future is in fact not real intelligence at all, but the artificial type. It’s a little disheartening if I’m honest, not that AI has been created, but at how quickly the human race seems to have given up on itself in the race against the robots.  It is 26 years since the Deep Blue computer beat Gary Kasparov at chess, at which point the end of the world for humans was confidently predicted, but here we still are with our opposable thumbs and a pretty well-honed survival instinct. 

I start today’s newsletter celebrating BIS Abu Dhabi being shortlisted by Which School Advisor for ‘Best IB Blended Curriculum school in the UAE’.

Congratulations to all our students who recently undertook the challenge to create an artwork inspired by the key advocacy theme of Sustainable Development Goal: 4 Quality Education set by our Global Campus team for the 2023 Visual Arts Competition.
