Admissions are now open for 2025/2026
Welcome back. We hope that you have all had a brilliant summer and are ready for the next school year.
Is your child interested in learning an instrument?
Enrollment for instrumental music lessons at BIS Abu Dhabi is now open. Instrumental lessons will take the same format as last year, where pupils will leave their classrooms for 30 minutes to be taught by a specialist music teacher from the Juli Music Institute.
The Juli Music Institute offer Instrumental lessons on Woodwind, Strings, Brass, Percussion as well as Piano and Guitar. The instrumental lessons will work on a rotation system so that students are not missing the same lesson every week and timetables will be given to your child’s class teacher as well as sent home.
How to sign up
To sign up for instrumental lessons you will need to either:
All completed forms need to be given to Miss Rochell (kate.rochell@bisad.ae) by Thursday 3rd September or delivered directly to the Juli Music Institute, Al Bandar at Al Raha beach.
Cost
The cost for the instrumental lessons is 1200 AED for 10 lessons. All payments can be brought to the finance office here at BIS Abu Dhabi or again delivered to the Juli Music Institute at Al Bandar.
Any questions regarding instrumental music lessons please email kate.rochell@bisad.ae or feel free to come and see Miss Rochell in room 286.
As we draw this academic year to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on what has been a truly remarkable journey for The British International School Abu Dhabi. This year has been defined by so much more than achievement, it has been a year of resilience, creativity, compassion, and bold ambition.
Read on to discover the unforgettable highlights, proud achievements, and inspiring moments that made this year at BIS Abu Dhabi truly remarkable.
The penultimate week of term always brings a mix of energy and reflection. Lessons are still purposeful, but there is also a sense of looking back, recognising just how far our students have come.
This year, we have seen strong academic success across the school. Students have worked hard, and the outcomes reflect that effort. But just as important have been the achievements beyond the classroom in music, sport, language, technology, and the arts. Our curriculum is broad for a reason, and it has been clear this year that our students are thriving in many ways.
Celebrating Our Shared Success: A Year of Partnership and Recognition
As we approach the end of a vibrant academic year filled with events, achievements, and memorable moments, I am delighted to share some fantastic news with you all. Our school has been honoured with not one, but two prestigious awards in recognition of our commitment to parent engagement: the MENA Parent Partnership Award and the ADEK Best Parent Engagement Award.
Read on to discover how these awards celebrate our collaborative culture, highlight parent-school partnerships, and support meaningful improvements for our students.
It’s something I’ve believed for a long time — that learning isn’t predetermined by our genes. It’s about growing, persevering, and learning through the process. I was really mindful of this idea at this week’s wonderful Primary Summer Concert, after which I found myself reflecting on whether these amazing children have an innate talent, or whether they have achieved so much because of hard work and practice.
I believe it’s the latter. These children, their parents, and their teachers all seem to share the belief that by trying and working hard, they will get better at what they do. This is what we call a growth mindset.
