We are delighted to celebrate the exceptional accomplishments of our students in academics, showcasing their dedication, talent, and passion for learning.
Four of our Year 11 students from last year achieved top marks in the June 2024 Cambridge GCSE language exams, earning prestigious Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards:
Additionally, 16 of our Year 11 students were recognised by the Pearson Edexcel Examination Board for High Achievement in the UAE for their exceptional performance in the 2024 IGCSE examinations. A special congratulations goes to one student for achieving the highest mark in the UAE for Art!
These remarkable achievements reflect their hard work and the unwavering support of their teachers and parents. Cambridge Certificates were also presented at a special ceremony on 28 November 2024 at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel in Dubai.
To honour their outstanding accomplishments, these students received Headteacher Commendation Certificates and the prestigious BISAD ‘B’ for their lanyards – a symbol of their incredible achievements and dedication.
We are incredibly proud of all our students whose accomplishments inspire our entire school community. These achievements reflect not only their hard work but also the supportive environment at BIS Abu Dhabi that nurtures excellence. Fantastic work, and we look forward to seeing even greater success in the future!
Last term was brilliant for our BIS Abu Dhabi World Scholars!
Our 2025 season kicked off during the Winter Break, with 15 students competing in the Dubai Winter Global Round. In addition to taking part in the academic challenges of writing, debate and quizzing, students also enjoyed a fun-filled scavenger hunt at Global Village. We were thrilled that 12 of our scholars qualified for the Tournament of Champions at Yale University in November 2025 — an incredible achievement that we are all immensely proud of!
The season continued with our first Regional Round of the year, held in Dubai. We were delighted to see 21 students qualify for the next round. Two of our participants, Khlood in Year 7 and Anahita in Year 9, have written a personal report of the events:
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.
Right from an early age, parents often imagine great futures for their children, built around their interests and talents. The journey to adulthood, though, is anything but straightforward. While we all aspire to see our children succeed in fulfilling careers, the reality is nuanced, requiring a holistic approach to education and career preparation. This guide offers advice on how parents can empower their children to explore diverse interests, make informed educational choices, and develop essential skills for future success.
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't – you're right." - Henry Ford
Belief is a powerful force. As educators, we see daily how a student’s confidence - whether strong or fragile - shapes their learning journey. Whether in the classroom, on the sports field, or on stage, students thrive when they believe in their ability to succeed. As a Drama teacher, I often see this in action - students stepping outside their comfort zones, taking risks, and growing in confidence. But this idea extends far beyond Drama; it is fundamental to education as a whole.
