Changes to the Academic Calendar
Changes to the Academic Calendar On Thursday 28th August, we received notification that the Ministry of Education instructed ADEC (Abu Dhabi education council) to change the dates to ensure 3 weeks break at the end of Term 1. As such, Term 2 will now begin on Sunday 11th January and in order to ensure 190 instructional days, the February half term has been removed.

We wish to inform parents of an important change to term dates:

As such Term 2 will now begin on Sunday 11th January and in order to ensure 190 instructional days, the February half term has been removed.

We apologise for any inconvenience - this is a change which impacts all Abu Dhabi schools.
