Catering to students aged 3–18, DIS operates as a not-for-profit institution under the Al-Futtaim Education Foundation. Established in 2005, the school is celebrated for delivering an exceptional, inclusive, and comprehensive educational experience. Our latest inspection noted several key strengths:

Our outstanding facilities foster a holistic educational approach, offering extensive opportunities in sports, performing arts, technology, leadership, creativity, and academic enrichment.
While admissions are non-selective, our students consistently achieve remarkable examination results, rivaling those of leading UK schools, and often proceed to prestigious universities around the globe. Digital literacy is woven throughout the curriculum as we equip students for the challenges of an evolving world.
In the Early Years, our tailored, play-based continuous provision rigorously assesses students against the EYFS framework, laying a solid foundation for future academic pursuits.
