Dubai, UAE – 25 November 2025: The British Council, the UK’s leading organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, is excited to announce a landmark collaboration with International Schools Partnership (ISP) and their Smart Vision School, a prestigious British curriculum school, located in Al Barsha, Dubai.
Commencing in October 2025, this collaboration will bring the British Council’s internationally acclaimed English language programmes to Smart Vision School, offering the wider community the chance to build strong communication skills in an inspiring school environment.
The initiative reflects ISP’s commitment to empowering learners at all stages by providing an inclusive and accessible experience. By hosting English as a Second Language (ESL) programmes at Smart Vision School, more people can gain access to the communication skills required to thrive in a globally connected world. This partnership supports the UAE’s vision of developing a knowledge-driven economy by equipping learners with the confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills they need to excel in an interconnected world.
Martin Daltry, Country Director, UAE at the British Council, commented: “We are delighted to collaborate with ISP and Smart Vision School, partners who share our passion for empowering people to become confident, capable learners. Together, we are making high-quality English language education more accessible across Dubai, helping people unlock their full potential and prepare for global opportunities.”
A New Hub for Learning Excellence in Al Barsha
Programmes will be delivered fully onsite at Smart Vision School and will include:
- Fun, interactive courses designed to boost fluency and confidence.
- Expert teaching from British Council-qualified educators using proven, learner-centred methods.
- A practical focus on real-world communication skills.
- Free consultations to guide people in selecting the right course.
Kam Bhamra, Regional Managing Director for ISP Middle East, said: “At ISP, we believe in continuous learning, in building confidence, and in giving people the tools they need to thrive in life. This collaboration with the British Council is about working with partners who share that vision, opening doors and creating real opportunities for our communities here in Dubai.
It’s also about supporting the UAE and Dubai’s ambition to be a global centre of educational excellence for learners of every age.”
Courses are scheduled to begin in the last week of October 2025. Anyone interested can book a free consultation and register via the British Council website.
This initiative reinforces the British Council’s commitment to working with leading educational partners in the UAE to support the nation’s development goals and foster a culture of international engagement and learning.
