Established in 1991, EIS-Jumeirah is a community service of the Al Habtoor Group. The school provides the highest quality international education for more than 2225 students from Early Years to Year 13.

Emirates International School was the first in Dubai to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme; having received IB authorisation as an "IB World School" in 1992. For over 30 years, our results in the Diploma Program have been some of the highest in the region. We are now one of a select group of schools who are authorized to offer all 4 IB programs: PYP, MYP, CP and the DP.

  • We offer a broad international IB education in English, designed for local and expatriate students, which promotes excellence in all academic activities.
  • Education must encompass the development of the whole individual with the School’s emphasis on academic, physical, social and creative growth.
  • We encourage critical thinking and curiosity in children through well crafted curricular and co-curricular activities which help mould our students into confident individuals. This has played a huge part in our alumni securing admissions in prestigious universities across the world.

We have a very proud history of being the first IB Diploma school in Dubai (1992) and growing to now offer all four programmes: IB Primary Years Programme, IB Middle Years Programme, IB Diploma Programme and IB Career-related Programme.

For 30 years, we have prepared students for world renowned universities such as MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Cambridge and the London School of Economics, amongst others. We are very proud of our legacy of graduating IB students who are well prepared to take on the challenges of the modern world.

It is important to note at the core of an IB education are the soft skills which are essential for the modern day workplace.  Our thriving Alumni Association is a testament to a number of our students who have become leaders in their chosen fields.

We are a real international community. Our student body comprises over 2000 students aged 3 – 19 from more than 70 different nationalities. While students are encouraged to be good representatives of their own culture and heritage, they are also made aware of the values of the host country, and are knowledgeable and respectful of local heritage and norms. Festivals and traditions of all cultures are appreciated thus laying the foundation for global citizenship.

We are a very open school and seek to develop this continually within our community.  Communication is a key aspect and we will be hosting many different forums where parents, prospective and current, can come in and meet the teachers and leaders of the school.  We continually utilise this feedback to further enhance the school at all levels.  Sending your child to us means becoming part of a community!

We have had the joy of watching our kids thrive at EIS-J. The genuine care and love the staff has for ensuring every child flourishes is amazing. Their SEND provision is thoughtful and looks to the strengths of the child first, and finds ways to magnify them - all the while helping the child to work on their overall development. We are delighted with our choice of having placed our children at EIS-J and can recommend them to anyone looking to find a school that focuses on developing the whole child in a loving and nurturing environment.

Attending Emirates International School has been a wonderful experience for my child. The teachers are dedicated and caring, creating a positive learning environment. They have the wellbeing of the students as their first priority. The IBDP curriculum is engaging and challenging, helping students to excel at school and in life. A word of thanks to Ms Arif: she is nurturing and she is taking care of the students as if they were her own children! I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a quality education for their child in Dubai.

A school that very much takes into account individual students and has a strong academic focus in High School. The teachers really want our children to do well and work hard to support and keep us parents involved and informed. We have seen the improvements in the facilities, leadership, teaching staff and behaviour over the last few years and am pleased we chose to stay with such a great team - well done on your KHDA Very Good!
