As the new millennium unfolds, our singular challenge is to prepare our students for leadership roles in a world where change is the only constant. Dubai International Academy responds to this change by delivering international programmes of study that provide our students with tools to communicate across the world and to help them become lifelong learners.
Dubai International Academy opened on September 10, 2005 with over 500 students from 55 countries and an equally diverse faculty of over 50 members of 18 different nationalities. In September 2014 we welcomed 2000+ students from 77 nationalities and more than 260 staff from over 30 nationalities. Since inception, Dubai International Academy has quickly established itself as the international school of choice in new Dubai.
We are the first school in the country to offer a rigorous curriculum and a rich language programme based on the three prestigious programmes from the Geneva based International Baccalaureate (IB) – Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP).
We believe in the importance of strong relationships existing between students, parents and teachers. All students should be encouraged on a daily basis to aim high and follow their dreams, with the notion that hard work is the key driver that enables outstanding academic performance. Equally importantly, we encourage our students to excel and participate in many different sporting, cultural and leadership opportunities. This enables them to develop their personalities and encourages them to be confident and happy individuals.
We place a huge emphasis on developing students’ mindsets to encourage them to be positive, aspirational and resilient. It is important that they develop self-belief and confidence. The concept of international mindedness and the benefits of being a global lifelong learner are key attributes to achievement in an ever changing world. Education is about preparing students for jobs in 10 or 15 years that don’t exist now. To do this, students need to be in a happy and safe environment. DIA works tirelessly to ensure that there is a strong ethos where kindness and respect prevail. These values then allow the students to become role models to each other and positive, well-grounded citizens who develop as future leaders.

The education is great but my child's social life has decreased she only has one friend who is also new to the school. I'm afraid, compared to her previous school this schools facilities and the fact that it is so overcrowded let me down a bit. Overall, its a great school if you want your child to have the best education.

DIA may seem a joke but it's 100% safe and secure school. More importantly, all the kids have fun learning. Our kids have actually taken action, they are all friendly, hard working kids. DIA has also won 1st place in Soccer and Swimming and many more championships. This school is AMAZING, trust me. It's a school that your child is BOUND to love. Dubai International Academy is amazing.
