A Message from Your Principal

David Allison 2 (1)

David Allison

Principal
Azerbaijan British College (ABC) is a British international school teaching the Cambridge Curriculum  that leads to the internationally recognized qualifications of IGCSEs and A-Levels.  This is taught alongside the required subjects from the Azerbaijani National Curriculum.
 
 As a school we are committed to providing an education that
  • inspires learning and promotes excellence
  • values success but sets challenges
  • fosters tolerance and has a global perspective

ABC provides rich and relevant learning opportunities.  There is an expectation that students always seek to excel and that the student, family and school work together in support of each other.    We celebrate the diversity of our cultural backgrounds, abilities and skills and we treasure our rich heritage.  At ABC our tolerance, understanding and respect for others ensures that everyone has the opportunity to learn unhindered in a safe and friendly environment. 

The staff at ABC are committed to a shared vision. We value trust and consultation. Professional relationships are based on the skills of giving and receiving effective feedback. Within the context of ‘Life Long Learning’, Literacy, Numeracy and STEM are priorities and are integrated throughout the school curriculum.

We are all delighted to welcome parents and prospective parents alike and to have you as part of our school community.  Working together, we will create a successful year, despite the challenges we face as a united country.

Your Senior Leadership Team (SLT)

ABC is led by the SLT, who meet weekly to formulate policy, resolve issues and present their weekly report to the board.   The team is made up of the General Manager, Head of Preschool, Head of Primary, Head of Secondary, Vice Principal and Principal.  The team members each have their own responsibilities and line management roles.  They work together to take the school forward.
