We offer a world-class international education at one of the region’s most outstanding campuses with more than 1,600 students at the school representing over 80 nationalities. At DIS, we value the diversity of cultures; we are proud of our multi-cultural environment and warm family atmosphere that supports the personal and social development of every child. DIS is a happy and exciting place to learn and work. We believe in placing the students at the centre of their own education and that learning is a life-long experience. Our effective partnership with parents contributes to the development of students’ learning and we pride ourselves in our regular communication with parents through various learning platforms. We follow an English National Curriculum model leading to the Cambridge Board IGCSE examinations in Year 11 and International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) in Year 13. Our external examination results are outstanding and notably above the world averages. Our graduates attend some of the best universities in the world.
