Best Secondary Enrichment Opportunities with ISP for Students

A student-centered and challenging academic curriculum is vital to facilitate the growth of any secondary student. But student growth doesn't depend entirely on academics. More so, academics are just a part of it.

That's why the British International School in Abu Dhabi offers students many secondary enrichment opportunities. Here, students learn many life skills and grow as an individual. 

These enrichment activities are not just a filler to bridge kids' free time between school and home. They are a lot more than that. By pursuing interests outside the classroom, kids can pick up on valuable skills such as self-motivation, awareness, self-discipline, etc. They learn to take risks and find the perfect opportunity to experiment. 

But don't get the wrong idea either. Enrichment activities do not mean blowing off lessons and having fun. These activities will go a long way in enhancing your child's learning via rounded, culturally rich, and educational activities.

British International School Abu Dhabi UAE offers enrichment programs to imbibe cross-cultural tolerance, diplomacy, and understanding in your child. Go through some of the programs we offer. 

Model United Nations (MUN)

As a part of the ISP, Abu Dhabi International School offers an educational simulation called Model United Nations. Each student will be assigned a country and committee and then engage in a mock debate to resolve world issues. 

This educational simulation will teach kids about international relations, diplomacy, and the UN. Although MUN does not follow the exact rules and practices used in th UN, it helps your kids develop a strong awareness of world issues, confidence, excellent research and debate skills.

It also grants them an opportunity to meet people from all around the world. Students need to think on their feet and defend the country they represent against real international issues.

Future Global Leaders Conference 

The Future Global Leaders conference is yet another debate event, where students aged 13-17 debate about some of society's most pressing concerns and issues. Some examples of topics for these debates can be historical racial injustices, gender-gap pay, etc. 

Unlike many secondary schools in Abu Dhabi, the British International School offers its children the opportunity to get selected in a future leadership summit, where over 3000 student leaders come in from over 30 different countries. 

A truly diverse experience, delegates from all ethnicities and cultures come together and share their viewpoints and thought processes. Imagine the exposure your child can attain over a week. Moreover, they will live and study in some of the leading Ivy League universities in the USA. In order to display our commitment to inclusion, the individuals who chair the committee are fluent in English, Arabic, and French.

Buddy Exchange Program

The Buddy Exchange Program is an international student exchange initiative for students aged between 14-17 years of age. This program reciprocates exchanges between ISP schools all over the globe for a period of one month. The motive behind a buddy exchange program is to provide students with diverse learning opportunities within a safe space.

With Abu Dhabi Secondary school, your child will have the opportunity to visit some of the best schools in some of the most exciting places around the globe. With a promise to deliver an unparalleled international and cultural learning experience, the buddy exchange program delivers on that promise and also helps them develop their language skills and long-term friendships all across the globe.
