Academic excellence in the early years lays the foundation for a seamless progression toward deep critical inquiry and independent thinking. The Middle School (Grades 6 to 8) Curriculum is thoughtfully designed to build subject-specific proficiency while fostering a full spectrum of cognitive skills, with the goal of nurturing independent, analytical, and confident learners.
The Cambridge IGCSE (Grades 9 and 10) equips students with strong academic foundations, encouraging critical thinking, inquiry, and application of knowledge. Its global relevance and flexibility allow learners to explore subjects in depth, fostering intellectual curiosity and preparing them for success in future academic pursuits.

"Don't wait for the opportunity. Create it."
-George Bernard Shaw
Emotional intelligence is not an initiative at our school—it is our ethos, our philosophy, our very DNA. In our nurturing atmosphere of openness and trust, students feel safe to share, contemplate, and truly be themselves—making emotional well-being a way of life, not an add-on. In this space of care, our learners grow to understand themselves and others, developing respect and the values that shape them into humane, reflective individuals with inner strength - ready to engage with the world not just with knowledge, but with their hearts, their quiet strength of empathy, and the courage of their convictions
Fostering emotional strength alongside academic excellence
At ABWA, our wellbeing programmes are designed to provide every student with safe, supportive spaces to reflect, grow, and thrive.
Minds matter curriculum
A school-wide, integrated approach to Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). Through immersive lessons, students develop empathy, integrity, and independent thinking, skills that are essential for both life and learning.
Circle of trust
Biweekly classroom circles led by Homeroom Teachers that strengthen student–teacher relationships and offer a space for open dialogue, personal reflection, and guided emotional support.
Ethics and values education
Thoughtfully designed modules that help students respond with integrity to real-life dilemmas, anchoring academic learning in character and conscience, spaces for reflection and support for every ABWA student.
At ABWA, we are a values-driven school deeply committed to student wellbeing and care. Our vision is to create a nurturing environment where every student can flourish emotionally and thrive socially. Initiatives like the Anti-Bullying Squad and Mental Health Champions place student voice at the centre of change, fostering leadership and empathy. We champion a strong parent–student–teacher partnership, believing that wellbeing is not a program—it’s a way of being. Together, we cultivate a school culture where everyone belongs, grows, and flourishes.
The secondary school experience at ABWA
