As Deputy Head Academic, I am committed to ensuring our students are front and centre in the academic arena, where they can explore and expand their interests with genuine support. This term alone, our students have been exceptionally active, engaging with prestigious global institutions and projects. From exploring advancements in neurotechnology, bioengineering, and AI robotics through our Medical Society, to debating real-world issues at the United Nations, and working with the UAE Space Programme, BIS Abu Dhabi students are proving that they can make meaningful contributions on a global scale. Academic achievements like participating in the UKMT, the World Scholars Cup at Harvard, and programmes at MIT, Yale, and Oxford University further highlight their dedication to excellence and growth.
As parents, your unwavering support plays a pivotal role in making these opportunities possible. Our partnership with you is the foundation that enables students to dream big, step into unfamiliar arenas, and thrive beyond the classroom.
For a glimpse into the extraordinary achievements of BIS Abu Dhabi students, we encourage you to follow our journey on Instagram, where we share moments that capture the energy and inspiration your children bring to our school community. Together, we are “lifting the lid” on expectations and ensuring that each child sees a world of limitless opportunities awaiting them.

You might have seen the trend going around - “If I could tell my younger self one thing…” - a moment to reflect, to offer advice we wish we’d heard earlier, or to remind ourselves of what truly matters.
As students prepare to cross some of the biggest milestones in school life, it feels like the perfect time to pause and join in that conversation. But it’s not just our students who are preparing — so are we, as parents. These milestones don’t just belong to them. We’re living every part of it too: the anticipation, the pride, the nerves, and the quiet hopes. Sometimes, it’s the hardest thing in the world — to watch them take these big steps, to stay strong when they wobble, to let go just a little more. It’s a milestone for us as much as it is for them — and we’re walking it together.
Finding the right school for your child is a big decision. Whether you’re new to Abu Dhabi, transitioning from another school, or simply looking for the best fit, we know it can feel overwhelming. At The British International School (BIS) Abu Dhabi, we’re here to make that journey as smooth and reassuring as possible. From your very first enquiry to your child’s first day (and beyond), we’ll be with you every step of the way. This article tackles the key concerns families face when transitioning to a new school, offering clear insights into our admissions process to ensure a smooth and informed journey.
