Al Batinah International School (ABIS) is focused on becoming a leading international school in the GCC by providing an innovative, inquiry-based education that empowers its students to be successful. ABIS will be recognized for its motivating, supportive, and individualized learning environment and its close and respectful connections with its community and host country. We will challenge and inspire all students to reach their full potential by becoming well-rounded global citizens and successful lifelong learners. Central to the school’s philosophy is the belief that respect and responsibility, practiced daily, will lay the foundation for our students to become thoughtful citizens. This belief forms the central pillar of our school culture. The school expects that all who join our school community will possess and display honesty, respect, and responsibility. Our approach is our commitment and obligation to a school community in which personal integrity is a way of life. Al-Batinah International School seeks to provide an educational environment in which students can grow intellectually, physically, and spiritually. We aim for students to become self-disciplined, experience success, feel a social and environmental responsibility, and appreciate their own and others’ artistic and cultural heritage. We aim to achieve these goals by employing dedicated and effective staff, offering a rich curricular and extra-curricular program, and by providing a world-class educational setting that supports learning. We believe that the excellence of the teaching and administrative staff, are the necessary resources for the provision of a quality education that will enable students to successfully matriculate at their appropriate academic levels and aspire towards studying at the world’s top universities. The school considers the development of skills in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics to be of key importance. Children’s growth in these skills is central to the mastery of the specific content area within the languages, arts, social studies, and sciences. The potential of each student is given the further opportunity for expression in the visual and performing arts, physical education, and extracurricular activities offered at the school. The school believes that a meaningful sense of membership in the world community is a goal for each student. Thus we endeavor to internationalize the curriculum whenever possible and encourage the use of texts and materials from other countries. The school also offers a program in local culture and language and encourages members of the whole community to share national customs and traditions from around the world through programs with the student body. The ongoing growth of each child in these different areas empowers them to become both citizens of their county and the world, and are the heart of the purpose of the school. We believe that the accomplishment of these goals enables us to provide the kind of education that rewards the students, their families, and the various stakeholders who use our school.
