OUR SOCIAL PURPOSE

At Swiss International School Dubai (SISD), students are empowered to be agents of positive social change. Through an extensive programme of local and international service initiatives, environmental projects, and in-school leadership opportunities, our children learn about the world around them – and make it a better place.

CHAMPIONING SUSTAINABILITY

At SISD, we aim to empower students to shape a better future through a whole-school approach to sustainability. By weaving key social, cultural, economic, and environmental awareness concepts into our students’ education, students deepening their understanding of sustainability issues. We’re a proud member of The Alliance for Sustainable Schools and an award-winning Eco-School, too.

Our learners enjoy a myriad of opportunities to get hands-on and make a difference, whether that’s connecting with nature by building bee houses or supporting global campaigns like World Water Day. They can also join our Green Team and take part in local environmental projects, including the city-wide Dubai Can recycling initiative.

GLOBAL CHANGEMAKERS

Our partnership with UNICEF inspires students to think and act like global changemakers, as they explore pressing international issues like the UN Sustainable Development Goals and climate change.

Participating in our Model United Nations group, meanwhile, develops our learners’ critical thinking, diplomacy, and public speaking skills, while also deepening their understanding of global affairs. Year-round, our learners also raise funds and awareness for Dubai Cares, a global charity that works to ensure education for all.

SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES

As part of our whole-school commitment to togetherness and helping others, our students support the charities, community projects, and causes that matter to them.

Through our Fruitful Communities initiative, for example, students collect items and assemble care packs for local workers. Students also take on leadership roles and represent their peers in various student-led committees, including our Wellbeing Council. In the process, they cultivate empathy and kindness, and develop future-proofed IB Learner Profile attributes.

CARING THROUGH THE CURRICULUM

Our International Baccalaureate (IB) curricula are truly purpose-driven, enriched by opportunities that instil a sense of social responsibility.

Every subject taught in the Primary Years (PYP) and Middle Years (MYP) features a unit of work that culminates in a tangible, community-focused ‘action’. At IB Diploma level, the Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) element of the core programme empowers our young people to go above and beyond to support others.
