DESC opened in 2005 and has over 1,600 students. We enjoy an excellent reputation and are one of the few not-for-profit British curriculum schools in the region with a long and proud history in Dubai.

We offer a full range of GCSE’s, A levels, BTEC National Diplomas and a Foundation Level pathway that offers a mix of Level 2 courses. We are highly regarded, as exemplified by Outstanding ratings from both the Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau and the Council of British International Schools. Our results demonstrate outstanding levels of progress and achievement among our students.

Our aim is to produce well-rounded, balanced young people who strive to achieve their potential; and in doing so they are encouraged to display the best of human traits in their interaction with others. Character, integrity and respect for others are important to us at DESC, be that in the classroom or on the sports field.

Academic success is important, but we believe in the development of creative thinkers, problem solvers and students who know how to learn in an environment of mutual respect, enthusiasm and commitment. The students are given a wide range of opportunities to have as many varied learning experiences as possible, in order that the whole person is developed. We also provide a wide range of extracurricular opportunities.

DESC aims to create independent, confident and resilient learners who respond to challenges and aspire to reach their full potential. Our excellent standards in teaching and learning are evidence of the commitment of all our highly dedicated staff to achieving the best standards in all areas of school life for our students.

DESC is a member of the Association of British Schools Overseas (BSO) and Council of British International Schools (COBIS) which have also rated DESC as an “Outstanding’’ provider of education.

**Life in Dubai**

Dubai is one of seven Emirates which make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is a tolerant and safe yet cosmopolitan and vibrant place to live, with an incredible amount of things to do and see.

Over 90% of the population are expatriates meaning it has a huge international community. Dubai is the gateway to Asia and the Middle East offering year-round sunshine, beautiful beaches, theme parks, luxurious hotels, shopping malls and events throughout the year.

English is widely spoken and you will see many familiar shops, restaurants and products from home. Islam is a way of life in the city although due to the multicultural nature of the city, religious festivals of all denominations are celebrated.

Salaries in Dubai are paid tax-free.

**Why work for us**

Our staff are well looked after and continuously strive to improve what is recognised already as an outstanding practice. DESC is one of the leading Schools in the region and has a reputable track record of success in academic achievement, sports, performing arts and enterprise. With over fifty nationalities represented, we are very much an international school that embraces the opportunities to facilitate our students in making an impact as global citizens.

We offer a very competitive compensation and benefits package.
