ADEK has issued a revised set of guidelines and protocols for the safe reopening of schools for the academic year 2021-2022. Most COVID-19 protocols remain the same; however, some changes are made to facilitate the learning process. The revised protocols are as follows:

•  At the start of the academic year, ADEK offered flexible learning modes to students. However, from January 2022, all schools in the UAE are discontinuing distance learning.
• All students, faculty members and administrative staff, irrespective of their age or vaccination status, have to produce a negative nasal PCR or Saliva test 14 days before returning to school. The same applies to third-party contractors.
• ADEK has issued new vaccination guidelines for the academic year 2021-2022. Students aged 3 to 15 do not need to get vaccinated to return to their schools physically. However, students above 16 years of age need to get two vaccine doses and must complete 28 days of the second dose before returning to schools. Vaccination certificates must be verified on the Al Hosn App.
• Parents can now pick up and drop off their children from the classroom if the school allows. However, schools should ensure that parents do not have access to other facilities on campus.
• Moreover, ADEK has reduced the minimum physical distance to 1 metre. However, schools should continue to take precautions by maintaining a safe distance. Staff members and students above six years old should wear a mask at all times.
• Schools are now allowed to conduct swimming and sports lessons, holiday camps, extracurricular activities, after-school clubs and catering services under strict health and safety measures. Schools must clean and sanitise the changing and sports areas after each group of children.
• Students are asked to enter the specific gates wearing facemasks. The school has to check their temperatures at the entry points. Students with body temperatures over 37.5-degree centigrade are not allowed to enter. They will be sent home with their parents.

The British International School Abu Dhabi educates students aged 3 to 18 years old. Students are classified into the following phases of education:

The school’s educational programme revolves around the UK National Curriculum. It is a well-recognised curriculum accepted throughout the world for its focus on updated knowledge, international education and balance between academic and non-academic activities. It split the education programme into Early Education, KS1, KS2, KS3, KS4 and sixth-form education. In the sixth form, the school follows the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP). The programme specifically focuses on delivering practical, work-based knowledge. The specifics for each phase of education at this school are:

Foundation Stage Curriculum

Foundation Stage is one of the most crucial stages in the life of a student. In this stage, young learners are introduced to school where they learn how things work and how the world operates. British International School uses a non-formal teaching and learning approach to develop young minds.

It adopts the Early Year Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework to educate children. The EYFS framework is a widely recognised educational framework used in many British and non-British schools throughout the world. It is based on non-formal teaching approaches where children learn via the ‘play and learn’ strategy. It maximises the benefits of the EYFS framework by using specially designed playgrounds for foundation stage students. The school has modified the EYFS framework with modern teaching strategies to meet the needs of students.

The British International School targets the development of students in the following seven areas of learning:

These areas of learning are fundamental to the EYFS Framework, ensuring that students are equipped with skills for subsequent phases of education. Teachers play a crucial role in this stage as they attempt to link the seven key areas of learning with real-life examples and settings. The school does this by regularly arranging field trips and outside-the-classroom activities.

In the Foundation Stage, a classroom has a maximum of 20 students that are taught by a teacher and two support assistants.

Primary School Curriculum

The primary school curriculum is split into KS1 and KS2.

Key Stage 1 (KS1) Curriculum

Students completing their early education enter Key Stage 1. It is the first stage of the primary phase where students are introduced to a more formal teaching and learning approach. From KS1, the school follows the National Curriculum of England. The KS1 educational programme is specifically designed to spark students’ interest in learning and ensure a smooth transition to the primary stage.

The school uses various literacy and numeracy tools that help teachers reinforce concepts. Teachers focus on using the inquisitive nature of children to help them explore the world. This helps students explore things on their own, ask questions in classrooms and link them with the taught lessons to build their concepts.

At this stage, the school specifically focuses on the physical development of students. Therefore, the school introduced students in Year 1 and Year 2 to gymnastics and team games.

In the KS1, British International School supports students’ learning through the following activities:

After successfully clearing Year 2, students enter Key Stage 2.

Secondary Stage Curriculum

Secondary Stage encompasses Key Stage 3 (KS3) and Key Stage 4 (KS4) stages.

Key Stage 3 marks the start of secondary education. At this stage, the school focuses on building critical thinking, active learning and superior communication skills. It follows the National Curriculum of England for KS3. British International School encourages children to participate in inter-school, local and international debating competitions. Such competitions result in self-confident individuals that understand the impact of global problems and provide solutions.

Another key feature of the KS3 curriculum is the introduction of a Virtual Learning Platform (Moodle). Moodle is an open-source learning platform used around the world to manage students’ learning. Here, students can access the lectures, learning materials, assessment requirements, etc. to help them in their learning. Students of BIS Abu Dhabi have to complete various global classroom projects in science, creative writing, dance, mathematics and arts.

The subjects taught to students in KS3 are:

Key Stage 4 (KS4) Curriculum

Sixth form Curriculum

In the sixth form stage, the school follows the IBDP. It is a highly advanced educational programme managed by the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO).

There are three cores of the IB DP programme:

• Theory of Knowledge (TOK)
• Extended Essay (EE)
• Creativity, Action and Service (CAS)

Each student has to undergo the aforementioned three cores of IB DP to be eligible for the diploma. The theory of knowledge helps students to work on their reasoning and critical thinking skills. Students also complete a 4000-word extended essay, which enables them with researching and evaluation skills. The CAS core value prepares the social, leadership and organisation skills of students.

Students studying IB DP as their post-16 qualification are introduced to a wide range of subjects. The subjects available for students in Year 12 and Year 13 are:

• Group 1 – Language A

For the sixth subject, students can opt for the creative arts from Group 6 or any subject from Group 1 to Group 4. Students also need to study three high-level subjects for 240 teaching hours and three standard level subjects for 150 teaching hours.
