Admissions are now open for 2025/2026
This week I have observed a sense of joy as families have been purchasing the yearbook. This book is a collection of moments shared with friends, families and teachers and signifies a completely different experience to the last few years.
All these great moments are created by caring practitioners who recognise the importance of human connections, the value of ensuring the school environment engages beyond the academic and the sense of joy and happiness that everyone feels.
At the end of each academic year, we have a number of staff moving on. I want to take this opportunity to thank all colleagues who have supported our youngsters through their journey. To work in a school environment is not always easy, it is a fast paced, energetic and an ever-changing space. The school environment needs to adapt to provide for the children, all of whom are different, all unique and all with their own challenges a place to flourish. To our teachers, staff and colleagues: thank you.
“A good educator is like a candle; it consumes itself to light the way for others”
I am also aware lots of our families are now making plans for Eid Al Adha, I wish you all a safe and blessed break, look after each other and keep each other safe. Eid Mubarak.

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.
