The British International School Abu Dhabi

The British International School Abu Dhabi has recently been recognised with the prestigious MENA Award for Student Wellbeing, a testament to its deeply embedded culture of care. Wellbeing at BIS Abu Dhabi is not viewed as a programme or initiative, but as an essential part of daily life. It influences every lesson, every interaction, and every relationship across the school community. Through its You Said, We Did approach, the school actively listens to students and parents, ensuring their ideas lead to meaningful change. This philosophy, combined with early support systems, trained student leaders, and a strong emphasis on kindness and gratitude, reflects the school’s commitment to creating an environment where every learner feels valued, connected, and supported.

The impact of this approach is clearly visible. Last year alone, students participated in more than 6,000 acts of gratitude, over 300 students received timely early intervention, and a broad network of staff and trained student leaders helped foster a supportive culture across the campus. Judges praised the school’s extensive opportunities for students to discover their passions, its strong community engagement, and the authentic integration of wellbeing into school life. These efforts ensure that students are equipped not only to manage challenges, but also to thrive academically, personally, and socially.

At its core, BIS Abu Dhabi believes that wellbeing and academic excellence go hand in hand. When students feel emotionally safe and connected, they engage more confidently in their learning and are better prepared to achieve their full potential. This award reflects the school’s unwavering dedication to nurturing resilient, compassionate, and successful young people who are ready to thrive in school and beyond.
