In February, Year 11 competed in the American Maths Challenge, and we are delighted to share that Jong Whi Kim and Ashwaty Nambiar finished in first and second place nationally.
Students also competed in the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT) intermediate competition where we scored an astonishing 14 Gold, 15 Silver and 10 Bronze awards. A Gold is awarded only to the top 5% of entrants: the fact that this competition is only entered by the highest achieving students globally illustrates just how fantastic our students' achievements are. But they weren’t finished there! With a total of approximately 100,000 Year 9 students entering the Intermediate award, it is hugely impressive to see two of our students perform in the top 500. Huge congratulations to Nour Elkot and Alif Nafili who managed to qualify, and particularly to Alif, who gained a Merit.
Year 7 and 8 are the next year groups to compete and will sit the UKMT Junior Challenge in Term 3. We are looking forward to seeing if they can maintain the high standards set by Year 9, 10 and 11.
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.
