Bansal Family Parent

We have been part of the DIA family since 2010 when my son joined in KG 1, he is now in year 7 and my daughter is in year 4. I like to use the word ‘family’ as that’s what I feel DIA is all about. The enthusiastic staff are always welcoming and ensure their learning experiences and efforts not only meet the IB standards but also take each child’s learning needs into consideration. We strongly believe in the IB programme and are convinced that DIA is one of the best schools in the region to deliver it.

Year 10

Never stop improving yourself. It sounds quite vague and unimportant but it is true. Take it from me, when I first came to this school, it took me a while to understand what my teachers expected of me and how to make effective improvements to myself academically.
