At The British International School Abu Dhabi, we believe that healthy, nutritious food plays an important role in supporting students' wellbeing, learning and long-term health.
Students can either purchase a freshly prepared school lunch through our catering provider or bring a healthy packed lunch from home. All food and drink consumed on campus must comply with our Food and Nutrition Policy, which aligns with the latest Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) requirements.
