At SISD, learning is a holistic experience. We offer an innovative, well-rounded education that carefully blends academic excellence with character-building experiences and opportunities for every child to pursue their passions.
This includes our extensive after-school activity (ASA) programme, which features an incredible array of sporting, creative, tech, and academic clubs, councils, and societies. Life-changing trips abroad build our students’ confidence and instil a global perspective.
Our students also develop and demonstrate their IB Learner Profile attributes through in-school, local, and global service projects. They do all this in an inclusive international community where they feel safe, supported, and empowered to be their very best.
Our collaborations with The Juilliard School, MIT, and UNICEF enhance our students’ school experience, both in and beyond the classroom.
Performing arts are so much more than what is seen on stage. They encourage self-expression and self-awareness, as well the development of empathy, confidence and cultural exploration. Our collaboration with Juilliard, the world-renowned performing arts school, combined with our outstanding dance, drama, and music programmes, inspires our students’ creativity, team-work and resilience.
The Juilliard School is recognised around the world as a leader in the performing arts; our exclusive collaboration with them harnesses their expertise and experience to create an arts programme that both inspires our students and sparks their passion to pursue their talents and interests.
Our collaboration with the world leader in performing arts nurtures our students’ love of dance, drama, and music.
Children learn best when they feel valued, included, happy and are having fun. This is why student wellbeing is the foundation of our holistic educational approach.
Experienced school counsellors, medical professionals, and dedicated mentors ensure our students are safe and supported in school. Weekly wellbeing surveys ensure every child receives the personalised care they need, while whole-school activities, like our Dubai 30x30 event, create a strong sense of togetherness and belonging.
We also empower our students to shape the support they need through our Wellbeing Council. Demonstrating a commitment to their peers – and a determination to make our school a better place – our young leaders organise an array of transformative initiatives, including Mindful October and Wellness Wednesdays.
Designed by the world’s leading architects, our award-winning sustainable campus is home to some of the finest school and boarding facilities in the Middle East.

EDUCATING FOR A BETTER FUTURE
At SISD, we educate for a better future. Through a broad range of local and international service projects, we seek to develop our students’ cultural awareness, instil empathy and understanding, and prove that individual actions can make a real difference. This inspires them to become the global changemakers of tomorrow.
All our IB programmes are enriched by opportunities that instil a sense of social purpose. Our students also support the charities, community projects, and environmental causes that matter to them, whether that’s advocating for sustainable change through our Green Team or collecting and distributing items to local workers through our Fruitful Communities project. In the process, they take the initiative, show compassion, and develop a raft of future-proofed IB Learner Profile attributes.
