Almost 60 students in Year 10 began their work experience program. For an entire week, students have an opportunity to experience life in the world of work, develop the skills that they have been learning in school and begin their first steps towards a future career. A large number of companies and institutions in the area have worked hard to arrange programs and activities for students so that they get a true feel for what it’s like to work there. The range of placements taken by the students make this the biggest work experience program that has ever happened here at the British International School Abu Dhabi. Placements in the Seychelles and Ireland also reflect the international nature of our students.
Student activities will include observing surgeries in hospitals, physiotherapy, working with athletes, giving presentations to senior managers, learning professional culinary skills, teaching, morning radio shows and much more. Students will be set projects to complete over the course of the week and reflect on what they have learned when they return to school.
We would like to thank the following companies for their generous support of our program:
The British International School Abu Dhabi, part of the Nord Anglia Education family, is proud to announce that three students have been selected to attend this year’s 2025 Nord Anglia Student Summit in Houston, Texas, a transformative leadership event focused on global citizenship, sustainability, and student-led innovation.

It’s something I’ve believed for a long time — that learning isn’t predetermined by our genes. It’s about growing, persevering, and learning through the process. I was really mindful of this idea at this week’s wonderful Primary Summer Concert, after which I found myself reflecting on whether these amazing children have an innate talent, or whether they have achieved so much because of hard work and practice.
I believe it’s the latter. These children, their parents, and their teachers all seem to share the belief that by trying and working hard, they will get better at what they do. This is what we call a growth mindset.
