Dear Parent(s),
It gives us great pleasure to share with you an overview of the International & National Residential School Trips & Visits that will be taking place - subject to ADEK approval - next academic year, 2023-2024. We hope that by allowing you to see all the trips in one place, you can ensure that you choose the most appropriate trip(s) for your children, to ensure that they benefit from the wonderful opportunities available to them.

Registering for a trip
In order to express your interest in a trip, please click here. Be aware that for those trips with limited places, we will operate a first come, first served sign-up process.
Registration opens at 10am on Sunday 28th May to ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to sign up.
Trip payment
Another change to draw your attention to is the payment for these trips. All payments will now take place via the BISAD app and you will only be invoiced if your son/daughter has been successful in signing up.
We hope you are as excited as we are about what lies in store as a result of the extensive school trips and visits programme next year and do get in touch with the relevant trip leader if you have any questions.
PLEASE NOTE – for The Year 7 Activity Day/Camp and the Year 8 & Year 9 trips, you will be contacted by the Head of Year closer to the time. This document is for your information only.
Yours sincerely,
Patrick O’Neill (Whole School Trips & Visits Coordinator)
In 2014 Mrs. Lowe arrived to teach at the British International School Abu Dhabi, excited to work with the Physical Education Department to implement and embed Dance within both the curriculum and the CCA programme. Schemes of work were created for FS1 to Year 9 and all PE teachers received professional development training to understand the fundamentals of Dance, to discover the importance of Dance and how movement can be creative and powerful.
Last week, Mrs. Stanier, our Head of Humanities, had the pleasure of accompanying three of our amazing students: Tia and Renad from Year 12, and Turkan from Year 10, to Houston, Texas, to take part in the NAE UNICEF summit. We were thrilled to be hosted by one of our Nord Anglia schools, The Village School in Houston, the first Child-Friendly City in the US recognised by UNICEF. The Village School is a boarding school, so the students got to experience what life was like as a boarding student there for the week.
