We wish to inform parents of an important change to term dates:
On Thursday 28th August, we received notification that the Ministry of Education instructed ADEC ( Abu Dhabi education council) to change the dates to ensure 3 weeks break at the end of Term 1.
As such Term 2 will now begin on Sunday 11th January and in order to ensure 190 instructional days, the February half term has been removed.
We apologise for any inconvenience - this is a change which impacts all Abu Dhabi schools.
Once we have the official calendar sent to us we will post on the website (and change in our pocket calendars you may have picked up during orientation days).
For now, please note:
Term 1
Term 2
Term 3
The British International School Abu Dhabi (BIS Abu Dhabi) was deeply honoured to welcome Her Highness Sheikha Shamma Bint Sultan Bin Khalifa Al Nahyan to its campus on Thursday, 17 April 2025. Her Highness, President & CEO of the UAE Independent Climate Change Accelerators (UICCA) and The Climate Tribe, is a distinguished entrepreneur, thought leader, and researcher with a deep commitment to sustainability, climate change, and gender equity.
At The British International School Abu Dhabi, we believe that education is not just about academic success—it’s about nurturing compassionate, responsible young people who understand the importance of giving back. This Ramadan, I have been truly moved by the way our students have embraced the spirit of the holy month, demonstrating kindness, generosity, and a genuine commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.
Inspired by the latest Nord Anglia INSIGHTS article exploring why the Early Years are the most important years of a child’s education, we know that a child’s most significant learning happens during this time - in ways that are not always immediately visible.
