A fantastic opportunity to show support for People of Determination, sharing in the UAE’s vision of a unified and inclusive society. Following an inspirational presentation on the Special Olympics, a pro-active group of Year 10 students immediately asked, “What more can we do for People of Determination in our community?” and from this desire to ‘do more’ a collaboration between the Future Rehabilitation Centre, Mohammed Bin Zayed City and The British International School Abu Dhabi was borne.
Today, in the spirit of the Special Olympics, we warmly welcomed students and teachers from the Future Rehabilitation Centre into our school community, to take part in a student-led Unified Arts Workshop. Mr Mitchell planned and delivered and fantastic interactive session on colour theory and paint mixing, linked to our school values of Honesty, Respect and Kindness. It was a pleasure to collaborate with the Future Rehabilitation Centre and a privilege to see the leadership skills of our students having a positive impact in the wider community. We look forward to many more community collaborations in Unified Dance, Music and Sports in the coming terms.
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.
