Message from the Deputy Head of Secondary
At BIS Abu Dhabi, we have embraced the exciting potential of digital technology in the classroom, particularly through the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Just recently, one of our students trialled an AI-powered learning platform that provided personalised feedback on their essay, helping them improve their writing skills in real time. This experience exemplifies how AI can tailor educational experiences to each individual’s needs, allowing for a more customised and engaging learning journey. By incorporating AI into our curriculum, we aim to support our students in becoming creative problem-solvers, critical thinkers, and confident digital citizens who are ready to thrive in an increasingly tech-driven world.

Life is full of questions - some small and simple, others profound and life-shaping. At BIS Abu Dhabi, we believe asking the right questions is key to growth, discovery, and future success. 

This term, our students have been reflecting on big questions: 
- What do I want to do when I’m older? 
- Where do I want to go to university? 
- What GCSEs should I study to help me achieve my goals? 
- Should I pursue a BTEC pathway or the IB Diploma Programme in Senior School? 

These are not easy questions, but it’s not about having all the answers now - it’s about being brave enough to ask them.
