Here’s what some of our students thought about the trip.
Nia, Year 10 said:
“This art trip was an inspirational experience that I will use to further develop my understanding of my GCSE Photography course. This exhibition was mainly contemporary art which is mostly about the ideas that the artist is trying to communicate through their work. I not only learned from the artists, but from the support of both my peers and teachers. I really enjoyed visiting the art galleries again and can’t wait for the next art trip.”
Amelia, Year 11 explained:
“On Wednesday, we had the opportunity to visit Abu Dhabi Art at Manarat al Saadiyat. We saw lots of art pieces from different continents, created by artists from different cultures. On our tour, the guide explained the inspiration and influence behind each piece. This inspired us to think about the story and influence behind the art that we create. For anyone interested in art, I really recommend visiting Manarat al Saadiyat this weekend!”
As exam season unfolds, there's a special kind of stillness that settles over the school. In the quiet hum of the examination hall, behind the rustle of papers and the soft clicking of keyboards, is a profound truth: we are witnessing a moment that our students will carry with them forever. It is the culmination of years of learning, growth, and perseverance, a chapter closing and a new one ready to be written.
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.

A few weeks ago, as part of our IB DP Language programme, Year 12 students in the French Ab Initio and French B classes united to celebrate Mardi Gras (Shrove Tuesday). Originally a catholic event welcoming the ritual fasting of Lent, Mardi Gras is celebrated in France with festive parades and sumptuous public celebrations.
At BIS Abu Dhabi, students came together to not only recognize the festivity but rejoice at the opportunity to share and learn about the international traditions fostered within our community. With the help of Monsieur Depose and Mademoiselle Merchadier, the French DP classes baked tasty treats, including crepes, waffles, brownies, and traditional beignets!
