Name and a little bit about you:

Hi, I'm Nadia Ezzat. I have just started working at BIS Abu Dhabi, but I have been teaching for over ten years, both in the UK and internationally. I am half Egyptian and half Welsh, but unfortunately speak only basic Arabic. I really hope to learn more.

How long have your children been at BIS Abu Dhabi?

Layla my daughter just started FS1! I also have twin girls, they are ten months old.

Where is “home” for you?

Home is both London where I grew up but also Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, as we also spent many years there.

What do you do in Abu Dhabi?

I teach English to secondary students here at BIS Abu Dhabi.

What brought your family to Abu Dhabi?

My husband grew up in Abu Dhabi, so we always planned to settle here.

Tell us something that few people know about you:

I used to own and run a Middle Eastern restaurant in Manchester.

What is your favourite thing about being a part of the BIS Abu Dhabi community?

I love the friendly staff here at the school; everyone has made me feel so welcome.

What do you enjoy most about living in Abu Dhabi?

I love how safe this city is! I feel that I can really relax and not worry about my children’s safety – which is so rare.

Nadia Ezzat, English Teacher

Celebrating World Children's Day at BIS Abu Dhabi

On Wednesday, 20th November, our school community came together to celebrate and acknowledge World Children's Day, with this year’s theme on ‘The Future Changed Child’. The day began with a powerful moment of unity, as we gathered onto the school field to form a large "WCD" for a group photo, while our Primary School students sang *‘We Are the World’* under the direction of Miss. Keane on the piano and Mr. Quigley orchestrating away. This heartfelt performance highlighted the spirit of collaboration and hope for a brighter future for children everywhere.

The Fascinating World of Third Culture Kids (TCKs)

In an increasingly interconnected world, Third Culture Kids (TCKs) stand out as true citizens of the globe. These remarkable individuals grow up immersed in diverse cultures, often living outside their parents’ home country, which shapes them in unique ways.

Nord Anglia Education’s latest INSIGHTS article delves into the fascinating lives of TCKs, exploring their strengths, challenges, and the crucial role schools and parents play in supporting them. Adding a personal touch to this global discussion, our very own BIS Abu Dhabi parent, Sobia, shares her experience of raising three TCKs in Abu Dhabi. Her reflections bring a heartfelt perspective to the complexities of identity, belonging, and resilience.
