Lesson 32 is an exciting new initiative in BIS Abu Dhabi’s Year 7 and 8 curricula.
With the change to the school day, we had a wonderful opportunity to look at our offering and add some interesting new topics and ideas. In this lesson students rotate through 6 topics each chosen by a teacher as an area of expertise that is not taught in typical schools. This has allowed us to deliver some electronics, study the science behind the climate crisis, look at sustainability alongside Nord Anglia’s global goals as well as many other brilliant initiatives such as digital safety, philosophy, sociology, and high-quality reading.
BIS Abu Dhabi is looking forward to seeing all the great work produced by students as they grapple with these new concepts.
We’re thrilled to announce that Nord Anglia Education is continuing its partnership with UNICEF for another three years! Since 2017, this unique collaboration has provided incredible opportunities for our students to engage in meaningful social impact initiatives that raise awareness of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), helping foster empathy, social advocacy, and global citizenship in all our classrooms.
Turkan, Tia, and Renad – our student Social Impact team – returned from Houston in June. The final part of their Houston experience was to provide feedback to the school’s senior leaders about what they had learnt during the UNICEF training and to propose their ideas for change.
EDIB stands for Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging. At The British International School Abu Dhabi, we are committed to giving our students an experience that is inclusive and representative of all nationalities, genders, abilities and religions. In essence EDIB is an extension of our school’s core values: Kindness, Honesty and Respect.
