About

International Community School – Al Manhal (formerly ICS Khalidiyah) is a private co-educational British-curriculum school on Abu Dhabi Island, in the Al Khalidiya / Al Manhal district. Opened in September 2019 as the fourth ICS branch and the group's second British school after Al Danah, it follows the National Curriculum for England from FS1 towards Year 13 (ages 3-18), accredited by Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel — its first IGCSE cohort sat exams in June 2025, with International AS and A Levels phasing in by 2026. One of the city's most affordable British schools (from around AED 21,500), it serves a diverse community of 750+ students supported by a full-time SENCO, and has been rated Good by ADEK in both of its inspections (the abbreviated May 2022 visit and the 2024/25 Irtiqa round).
