The Coquand Family
In this heartwarming video, Christophe and his son Romuald share their journey since joining BIS Abu Dhabi in 2024. From their first impressions of our world-class facilities to the strong sense of belonging they’ve found through community events like the Amazing Race and Iftar, the Coquands reflect on how BIS Abu Dhabi has helped their children thrive, academically, socially, and personally.
Romuald’s story highlights the power of a nurturing environment: learning English, building confidence, and embracing opportunities in sports, co-curricular activities, and student life. Their experience is a testament to the inclusive, enriching education that defines our school community.
The Amundson Family
Originally from the U.S., the Amundson family joined BIS Abu Dhabi in 2022, seeking a more challenging and supportive learning environment for their children Emma (Year 11), Carter (Year 8), and Olivia (Year 6). Three years on, they’re thriving academically, emotionally, and socially.
Their mother, Sarah, shares how BIS Abu Dhabi’s warm and inclusive community made all the difference, from the friendly welcome at reception to the dedicated teachers who helped each child exceed expectations. “It’s a school where every child is seen,” she says.
Each child has flourished in their own way: Emma has embraced opportunities like the Duke of Edinburgh Award, BSME Dance, and a drama trip to New York. Carter overcame early challenges and recently competed in the BSME Golf Tournament. Olivia shines with her love of learning and positive attitude, and the whole family is excited for their youngest sibling, Liam, to start in Early Years in 2025.
The Déposé Family
At the British International School Abu Dhabi, we believe the early years are where lifelong learning begins, and Sophia’s story is a powerful example. Now in Year 12 and pursuing the IB Diploma, Sophia reflects on her journey in our school from FS1, sharing how creativity, confidence, and curiosity were nurtured from the very start.
Her mother, Esther, and one of her former teachers, Ms. Doran, also share their perspectives, highlighting how BIS Abu Dhabi’s supportive and inspiring environment laid the foundation for Sophia’s success, both in and beyond the classroom.
