Hello, my name is Maximilien and I am from France. I am 12 years old and I am in year 7F. I have lived in the UAE for about 4 years and I have always been at BIS Abu Dhabi. I’ve always been very happy about my life at BIS Abu Dhabi as I strongly believe it is the best school in Abu Dhabi, academically and sports wise.
I am a very sporty person, but I also enjoy playing musical instruments. My favorite sports are; tennis (my favorite player is Sacha Zverev), rugby (my favorite rugby team are the Saracens), basketball (my favorite team is Miami Heat), sailing, F1 (I love McLaren Racing) and skiing. My favorite subjects are math, history and science. My favorite hobbies are playing the drums, playing sports, reading, and skateboarding. My favorite bands are ACDC and Guns n’Roses.
I have always wanted to be an engineer or an architect because I love creating, designing and building things since I was very small. When I get older, I would like to study at Cambridge and get into their rugby and tennis team.
I have always enjoyed my life here and I would like it to stay the same.

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.
