Welcome to the British School Al Khubairat. I hope you like our new look website, and that it gives you a flavour of the sort of school we are, and encourages you to find out more about us.

We have been at the heart of the community in Abu Dhabi for more than 40 years. Over that time, we have evolved from a small school with a handful of pupils, to a modern, vibrant, highly respected British curriculum school with an enviable reputation across the region. We now have around 1,800 students of more than 50 nationalities, aged from 3 to 18-years-old. It is a not-for-profit school established formally by Amiri decree in 1971.

I am very proud that our high standards are also recognised internationally. The school has recently become a member of two prestigious associations that promote excellence in British education: the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC), which represents 250 of the leading British independent schools; and the Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS) which represents the top 600 independent prep schools in the UK and worldwide. The school is also independently inspected on a regular basis.

Our goal is to provide an education for the whole child. We aim to create an environment for students where they can thrive academically and socially and have the opportunity of participating in a wide range of extra-curricular activities.

If I were to describe BSAK in one word, it would be 'energy'. The sheer range and number of activities and events going on in and around the school on a daily basis is remarkable. From music workshops with the likes of the London Philharmonia, the Bolshoi Orchestra and world-famous pianist Lang Lang, to a lively calendar of competitive fixtures in sports such as rugby, netball, cricket, swimming and football, as well as a whole host of clubs and after-school activities, the commitment and enthusiasm shown by the students and the staff is impressive.

I fervently believe that their experiences at BSAK will prepare our students for life in an increasingly global society. Growing up and being educated in a truly multi-cultural community promotes a deep understanding and appreciation of other cultures, and enables our students to embark on life with a sense of optimism and confidence for the future.

If you would like to know more about BSAK, please don't hesitate to contact us, or better still, come and visit and see for yourself.
