IN 2002 Dr Christopher Reynolds and Sheena Reynolds established a learning development programme in the UAE that was to become the British Institute for Learning Development.

The British Institute is unique for its philosophy of learning development as the basis for education and is the first and only schooling programme of its kind in the Middle East.

As a Talented Children Development Centre, we are able to develop children's 'talents' by increasing children’s cognitive development which directly affects their learning capacity.

Our Learning Development Programme is based on the belief that children's learning capabilities and performance can improve where children receive personal coaching to first develop the foundation sensory systems of the mind and body.

In 2009. the British Institute won the prestigious Princess Haya Award for research into the effects of Sensory Integration therapy. The  two year study of the neuro-physiological development of children showed that sensory integration therapy can increase learning capacity and intelligence and improve children’s academic ability.


The British Institute represents St Andrews College International in the UAE and offer both a school special programme as well as an after-school programme for children with learning problems.
