United Arab Emirates Al-Futtaim Full time

With students from ages 3-18, DIS is run as a not-for-profit school and is part of the Al Futtaim Education Foundation.

Founded in 2005, the school is renowned for providing an outstanding inclusive and holistic education.

In our recent inspection, the report recognised the following:

- _Staff are overwhelmingly proud of the school and believe that it is well led and provides a safe and inclusive learning environment._
- _The quality of teaching, learning and assessment across the school is outstanding._
- _Teachers have high expectations of pupils and consistently challenge them in lessons and other activities to do their best._
- _Staff enjoy working at the school and believe they are treated fairly, respected and valued._
- _At every phase, the curriculum is planned with precision, is well sequenced and systematically builds on pupils' prior learning._
- _DIS has a strong focus on academic progress and achievement._


The student body has over 80 different nationalities and this diversity is fundamental to the community nature of the school.

Exceptional facilities provide wonderful opportunities for a holistic approach to education; sport, performing arts, academic, technological, leadership and creative pathways are all on offer, ensuring our students enjoy enriching and varied school experiences within our classrooms and beyond.

Although non-selective at admission, our students achieve exceptional exam results which compare to top UK schools.

Digital literacy development is emphasised as the school prepares its pupils to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

This success enables our students to move on to the very top universities worldwide.

Al Futtaim Education Foundation (AFEF) owns and provides governance to Deira International School.

AFEF aims to realise its vision of taking education in the UAE to the next level of future readiness and of preparing students for an increasingly globalised and technologically advanced world.

Al Futtaim Education Foundation is an initiative of the Al Futtaim family to support the vision of the Government of Dubai and the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) for the creation of a globally competitive economy while maximising its social contribution to the community through this not-for-profit endeavour.
