At Deira International School, students work in an environment where they are stretched and challenged, and have their expectations raised to achieve demanding targets. Our success is a result of the partnership between the school, our students and their parents through our commitment to parental engagement. We place every student in a position where they are afforded choices through their lives, I believe strongly that all students are an intricate combination of both strengths and areas for improvement.
Understanding these elements is the key to discovering and fulfilling their potential. Our excellent team ensures that every student is guided and cared for, working hard to ensure that their individual needs are met. Deira International School is a challenging and yet exhilarating place to learn, develop and explore. I would warmly welcome you to come and visit us to experience for yourself all that Deira International School has to offer.

CURRICULUM
OPPORTUNITY OF WORLD FOR ALL OUR STUDENTS
At Deira International School, your child will experience the combination of high quality teaching, the National curriculum for England plus the IB Global curriculum complimented by top class facilities and resources for learning – they will be inspired to be their very best.
We recognise and nurture the uniqueness of every child. We are dedicated to developing in our students the qualities and skills necessary to become healthy, confident, self-motivated and independent individuals prepared for the responsibilities of adult life and their own economic wellbeing. We focus on teaching students to think critically, to explore knowledge, to question facts upon finding them and to approach learning challenges with enthusiasm. As a fully inclusive international school, for students aged three years to eighteen years, we are committed to providing an excellent education for all students enabling them to enjoy and achieve beyond their expectations.
When students leave Deira International School, they go on to study at some of the most prestigious universities in the world. We also offer an extensive curriculum program beyond the classroom with visits, trips, competitions, clubs and co- curricula activities providing enrichment for all our
students. For our older students, we offer access to a unique experiential learning program (summer internships) through our links to the Al-Futtaim. This provides students with real life business experience in the automotive industry, financial services, real estate and retail sector, covering functions such as marketing, HR and legal. Our approach motivates and equips students to further their education beyond Deira International School and most importantly, to view education as a lifelong process. A truly international school, we have earned the reputation for providing an exceptional education to a diverse student body representing over 80 different nationalities. Deira International School, is a Cambridge International Examinations Centre, an IB World School and owned and operated, as a not-for-profit school, by the Al Futtaim Education Foundation.
