A report in The National says that the British College Abu Dhabi (BCAD) might open in September 2011 instead of 2010, due to fund raising not progressing as rapidly as hoped. The BCAD website still says opening date expected to be September 2010.
BCAD is not the same as, or related to, BISAD (British International School Abu Dhabi) which is planning to open in September 2009.

The British College Abu Dhabi (BCAD) is the result of a working group formed in 2007 to develop a new British Community School in Abu Dhabi to satisfy the mismatch between demand and supply for a British education.
Curriculum will be British but with International Baccalaureate (IB) at senior grades instead of A-levels.
The British College Abu Dhabi plans to open in September 2010 for KG to Year 6 students, and add grades each year to take it up to Year 13 by 2015, with a total capacity of 2000 students.
A Board of Governors, headed by the British Ambassador (currently Edward Oakden) will oversee the school.
A debenture system will be put in place to help with funding the school (buy a spot for your kid ahead of time - up to 15 years for the enthusiastic). Debentures cost AED 1 million.
Comparable schools are likely to include the original British Community School Abu Dhabi (usually called British School Al Khubairat or BSAK) and the British International School Abu Dhabi (open September 2009).
