The evening started with light refreshments before students, parents and family members moved into the main hall for a presentation by Mr. Cullinan, Mr. Lowe and Mrs. Harvey. The presentation included the student's four-year journey through GCSE and IB Diploma courses, what the GCSE course entails, which GCSE subjects are compulsory/optional, Emirati equivalency, the support available to students and families, and the options process timeline. Following the presentation, families moved upstairs to our interactive subject stations. Here they looked at current student work, viewed subject syllabi, and spoke to teachers and current students about course content and career pathways.
The IGCSE information evening signals the start of the process where students begin making decisions about their future educational and career pathways. All of our students are individuals with different talents, passions and aspirations; they are also at different stages of ‘when I grow up, I want to be…’. For these reasons, Year 9 students are working on the Future Focus unit within PSME, utilising Unifrog, our careers guidance platform. The tutoring team are excited to be on this journey with the Year 9’s, offering them support and guidance during this important educational milestone.

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.
As a proud member of the Nord Anglia family, The British International School (BIS) Abu Dhabi is at the forefront of cutting-edge research. As one of the select pilot schools, we are benefitting from innovative studies like the recent Forbes-featured Metacognition project, which aims to enhance student learning and critical thinking.
