The British Council has announced a new collaboration with International Schools Partnership (ISP) and Smart Vision School in Dubai to deliver internationally recognised English language programmes to the wider community from October 2025.The partnership marks an important step in expanding access to high quality English language education in Dubai, bringing the British Council’s globally respected programmes to Smart Vision School’s campus in Al Barsha. The initiative reflects a shared commitment to empowering learners with the communication skills, confidence, and global outlook needed to succeed in an increasingly connected world.As part of the collaboration, Smart Vision School will become a new hub for English language learning, offering a welcoming and accessible environment for learners of all ages and backgrounds.Programmes delivered onsite will include interactive courses designed to improve fluency and confidence, practical learning focused on real world communication, and teaching from British Council qualified educators using learner centred methods. Participants will also have access to free consultations to help identify the most suitable learning pathway.Martin Daltry, Country Director UAE at the British Council, said:“The collaboration supports ISP’s wider vision of creating meaningful learning opportunities that extend beyond the classroom and contribute positively to local communities. By opening its doors to the wider public, Smart Vision School is helping to make high quality education more accessible while supporting the UAE’s ambition to strengthen its knowledge driven economy.”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.”The new programmes are expected to create opportunities for learners to strengthen not only their English language skills, but also their creativity, critical thinking, and confidence. These skills are increasingly important for academic achievement, career progression, and active participation in a global society.For Smart Vision School, the collaboration further strengthens its position as a forward thinking British curriculum school committed to supporting lifelong learning and community engagement. The initiative also aligns with ISP’s broader approach to education, which focuses on nurturing curiosity, self confidence, and personal growth in every learner.Courses are scheduled to begin during the final week of October 2025, with registration and consultations available through the British Council website.The partnership between the British Council and ISP highlights the growing importance of collaboration within the education sector to provide inclusive, future focused learning experiences that prepare people for success in a rapidly evolving world. Through initiatives such as this, both organisations continue to play a key role in supporting educational excellence and international engagement across the UAE.
