Wales International School

Wales International School (WIS) is situated in Al Shamkha City, Abu Dhabi. It is a privately owned school, which opened its doors in August 2016. It was set up to provide a high-quality British curriculum education for children in the local area. Wales International School caters for the 3 – 18 age group (girls and boys). The school adheres as closely as possible to the National Curriculum of England, within certain cultural and religious constraints, which eventually culminates in IGCSE and A level examinations. All lessons are taught in English, apart from Arabic, Islamic Studies and UAE Social Studies. Nearly all of the students are native Arabic speakers, but English is the official language of the school. The school is funded solely through the fees, which are in the middle bracket for Abu Dhabi private schools. Fee levels, as well as many administrative and curricular areas, are subject to the approval and licensing regulations of The Department of Education and Knowledge in Abu Dhabi (ADEK). The school has purpose-built state-of-the-art facilities and is proud to be a member of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) and an award-winning High Performance Learning School.
