Choosing a school in a new city – or even a new country – can feel like a daunting task. At The British International School Abu Dhabi (BIS Abu Dhabi), we understand the challenges families face when relocating or changing schools, and we aim to make the admissions experience as smooth and personal as possible.
From the first enquiry to your child’s first day, our dedicated Admissions Team works closely with you to answer questions, understand your needs, and ensure your family feels supported throughout.
“From day one, the staff and teachers were incredibly welcoming. The transition was smooth, and we saw our children gain confidence and thrive,” says Anissa, a BIS Abu Dhabi parent.
Tailored Admissions Support
From the moment you reach out, you’ll have a dedicated Admissions Officer—Ellie, Wooree, Kerry, or Stephanie—who will guide you through every step of the admissions process. Whether you’re scheduling a personal tour or joining from abroad, our team ensures a fast and thoughtful response to your application—often within 24 hours.
Once your child’s place is confirmed, we provide clear guidance so your first day feels more exciting than overwhelming. From meeting the class teacher to being paired with a buddy, each step is designed to help your child feel at ease from the moment they arrive.
“Moving from Korea to the UAE was a big change, but BIS Abu Dhabi made it feel effortless,” shares parent David. “The sense of care and inclusivity helped our children settle in quickly.”
A School That Feels Like Home
What makes BIS Abu Dhabi stand out? Parents often highlight our close-knit international community, the school’s commitment to academic excellence, and the vibrant mix of activities that go far beyond the classroom.
With world-class facilities, over 100 co-curricular activities, and global collaborations with institutions like MIT and Juilliard, students are given every opportunity to grow—both academically and personally.
“It’s truly a place where students thrive,” adds Tatyana, another BIS parent. “The teachers genuinely care, and the school goes above and beyond to keep parents involved.”
