Our Principal Patrick Horne looks forward to welcoming families interested in joining the school to the British International School Abu Dhabi's Open Day. Held on Wednesday 19th October, it is a fantastic opportunity to visit our school community with an introduction from our senior leadership team and our students followed by a guided tour of the school and the chance to ask any questions you have about our school and the curriculum.
The British International School Abu Dhabi school is a vibrant, exciting learning community offering an outstanding education for students aged 3 – 18 years, and is part of the Nord Anglia Education global campus of 42 schools worldwide. We offer the English National Curriculum from EYFS to Year 11 and the IB Diploma Programme in Years 12 and 13.
At BIS Abu Dhabi, we believe that when families and schools team up, incredible things happen. We’re proud to have won the MENA School Excellence Award 2025 for Parent Partnership, but this award is about more than just recognition. It’s about the people, the conversations, and the community that make it all possible. Read on to discover how we’re making a difference together.
At BIS Abu Dhabi, inclusion isn’t a separate initiative, it’s the foundation of everything we do. From the moment a student joins us, they are welcomed into a caring, respectful, and inclusive environment, guided by the values of Kindness, Honesty, and Respect. Discover how this ethos shapes every classroom, corridor, and connection in our school community in this blog.
Step into any vibrant Early Years classroom, and you'll likely hear the joyful hum of children deep in play - building, pretending, exploring, and negotiating their world. To the untrained eye, it may just look like fun and games. But within those moments of giggles and glue sticks lies something truly magical: deep, meaningful learning.
In this article, discover how play supports vital early development, how BIS Abu Dhabi brings the EYFS curriculum to life through play, and why protecting this joyful, purposeful approach to learning is more important than ever.
