- BILD has branches in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah recently opened. See the following pages for more information
- The British Institute for Learning Development in Abu Dhabi (open in March/April 2010?)
- The British Institute for Learning Development in Sharjah (Ramakya / Ramakia) (open in March 2010?)
- Presumably BILD Dubai is not related to the British Institute for Learning & Development in Bristol, UK (website www.thebild.org).
- According to a 24 April 2010 report in The National, annual tuition fees are AED 72,000 - "... the Dh72,000 ($19,600) annual cost of studying at the institute full-time with therapy ..." Previous information was AED 34,500-62,500 for 2007-2008.
- School operates grades 1 to 9, small class sizes, follows the British or UK International Primary Curriculum (IPC).
14 December 2008
- The British Institute for Learning Development (BILD) telephone numbers updated. Previous information was tel +971-4-3982246 and fax +971-4-3983340.
- The BILD curriculum is managed by St Andrews College Group so occasionally references to the St Andrews International School in Dubai are seen.
09 July 2007
- BILD was located in Satwa but moving to Jumeirah / Safa near Park 'n' Shop for September 2007. Tel number might have changed.
- BILD says they are a "Talented Children Development School" specialising in dyslexia, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), and dyspraxia.
- BILD also accept children with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), which probably sounds a bit obvious, and autism (not confirmed with BILD).
- Seems to have a good reputation for special needs students looking for somewhere other than a mainstream school environment.
- Initial assessment cost is 3300 dhs.
- New registration fee 500 dhs, annual administration fee of 3000 dhs. Check fees with school, some variation depending on whether day student or afternoon student.
- Emirates Today (a UAE based newspaper) carried a lengthy article about some BILD child development research that yielded surprising results after a modified learning program. Children with learning difficulties made greater than expected progress.
- Employment possibilites include Teacher, Occupational Therapist, Speech Therapist, Educational Psychologist. Salary information above not for teacher positions (amount unknown).
