At Swiss International School Dubai (SISD), we educate for the future. Our holistic philosophy, flexible language pathways, and globally respected International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes will inspire your child to succeed today and develop the attributes they need to become a global changemaker of tomorrow.
Guided by our specialist teachers, your child will follow an all-through continuum of IB programmes that nurture their intellect, character, and cultural awareness. Unique in the Middle East, our IB curricula are fully bilingual, too, giving each student the flexibility to learn in French and English, German and English, or English.
With adaptable pathways and unrivalled choice, every student forges their own route to success. This includes gaining world-leading IB Diploma results, which open doors to the very best universities in Europe, the US, Canada, and Australia.
From the Early Years through to Grade 12, every SISD student’s academic journey is underpinned by a continuum of International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes: the Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP), IB Diploma (IBDP), and the IB Career-related Programme (IBCP).
As well as being academically rigorous – and providing a consistent, high-quality education – our bilingual IB curricula are packed with character-building learning experiences. Every day, your child will immerse themselves in learning that develops the 10 qualities set out in the IB Learner Profile. This will ensure they become a well-rounded, lifelong learner and achieve outstanding results.

Bilingualism is embedded in our school’s DNA. It’s an integral and unique element of the Swiss-style education we offer here in Dubai, as well as being one of our core values.
From age 3 through to age 18, our students learn in a fully bilingual environment where they communicate, think, and reflect in different languages. In the Early Years and Primary, our students learn in either English, French and English, or German and English. In Middle and Secondary, they choose the language they want to study in subject-by-subject. We also give our learners the flexibility to change this each year.
Learning at SISD is a passport to a global future. We’re incredibly proud of our graduates, who go on to achieve great things at universities and in careers around the world.
One of just 50 International Baccalaureate (IB) World Schools globally, SISD attracts the finest International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO)-trained teachers. Many of our exceptional staff are qualified IB examiners, too. This ensures our students benefit from cutting-edge teaching and learning – and know exactly what it takes to achieve success.
Our teachers proudly share our BEST values and set the highest standards, too. Native French, German, and English speakers, they’re also truly passionate about languages. This means that, whichever pathway your child follows, they’ll learn from mother-tongue educators who are committed to bilingualism, cultural immersion, and personalised teaching.
"One of only two UAE schools to provide boarding, SISD is located on a spacious, state-of-the-art campus by the Dubai Creek. It features impressive facilities such as climbing walls, a ski club and opportunities for sailing. With a focus on STEM and a commitment to nurturing true IB learners, pupils here are curious, open-minded, and adaptable. The school equips them with the skills and mindset to thrive as global citizens in an ever-changing world."
- CARFAX EDUCATION
At SISD, we educate with the future in mind. Ensuring our students are equipped with the skills, qualities, and knowledge they need to get into – and flourish at – the university of their choice is central to our holistic approach.
With the expert guidance of our College Counselling Team, our students research, plan, and work towards their university ambitions. These long-term plans empower them to shape their own pathway to the course or destination of their dreams. This includes places at top 100 universities like University College London, McGill, and Edinburgh.
The SISD community is diverse and inclusive – we’re a school where every student is treated as an individual.
We support learners with a variety of preferences, including those with special educational needs (SEN). In a nurturing environment, we get to know each child and provide the personalised support and adjustments they need to make outstanding progress and realise their full potential.
From awe-inspiring international trips to after-school sports, arts, and academic activities, we offer a myriad of experiences that unlock talents, build character, and create passionate lifelong learners.
