“There are never any lost opportunities for learning”

Aspen Heights British School in Abu Dhabi embraces the individuality of every learner. We support student learning through a robust, student-focused curriculum, and enriching after-school programs, and focus relentlessly on each child’s ability to amaze.
Learning is about getting better, academically, socially and emotionally. Amazing Learning happens when students surprise themselves by getting better to a level beyond which they thought possible. Whether through mentoring, enrichment or personalised study, Aspen Heights British School recognises and nurtures each student’s gifts and talents so that they amaze themselves and inspire others.

Following a broad provision in Years 7 to 9 (Key Stage 3), Years 10 and 11 (Key Stage 4) students will be able to select options for further study leading to GCSE/ IGCSE examinations.


Unique Opportunities For Secondary Students

FUTURE GLOBAL LEADERS CONFERENCE

ASPEN HEIGHTS BRITISH SCHOOL TAKES MULTICULTURALISM TO HEART. Cross-cultural tolerance, understanding and diplomacy are just as important for our future leaders as any other classroom subject. The International Schools Partnership’s Future Global Leaders Conference offers students aged 13-17 years the opportunity to come together to debate some of our society’s most pressing issues. The conference is designed to help students improve their debating and research skills, as well develop their leadership qualities and public speaking confidence. Students are required to ‘think on their feet’ and to prepare and argue on behalf of their respective countries about real international issues.

HYDROPONICS GARDEN

Secondary pupils at Aspen Heights British School have a unique opportunity to learn all about a sustainable future. They all have access to our bespoke hydroponics greenhouse, whereby they learn all about hydroponics as a process and how it is used in the UAE. They are encouraged to develop their hydroponics skills and every single secondary pupil grows a fruit, vegetable or herb using this technique.

ISP BUDDY EXCHANGE PROGRAMME

The ISP Buddy Exchange Programme will enable reciprocal exchanges between ISP schools for a period of one month for students aged between 14 – 17 years of age. It is an experience that offer students amazing and diverse learning opportunities within a safe and secure environment. The programme will deliver a unique international and cultural learning experience; enabling students to develop their language skills, share good practice and cultivate long-term friendships across the world.

Due to the postponement of our International Learning Opportunities because of the COVID-19 outbreak, we are excited to launch the ISP Virtual Buddy Exchange Programme (VBEP) for our students.

Parent of Mohamed, a Year 1 student at Aspen

My daughter has been at Aspen Heights since the school opened in September 2017. She absolutely loves her school, her friends and her teachers, and her confidence has grown so much. I love that the children get individual attention, and that the Principal knows the name of each child in her school. I can highly recommend Aspen Heights to other parents.
