we believe Primary education is the foundation for a lifetime of learning. By embracing the PYP Learner Profile, we empower students to grow academically, personally, socially, culturally, and athletically, nurturing well-rounded individuals ready to thrive in a global community.
At DIA, we believe in the transformative power of education, and our Primary School reflects this through a holistic approach. Here, your children will grow academically, socially, and emotionally in an environment that celebrates curiosity, creativity, and international-mindedness. Through the PYP framework, we nurture learners who are principled, caring, and reflective, preparing them to thrive in an ever-changing world.
From our dedicated teachers to our extensive opportunities in academics, arts, sports, and co-curricular activities, we strive to inspire every child to reach their fullest potential. Our "third culture" ethos promotes a unique blend of cultural traditions, creating a truly global community where students develop respect, empathy, and open-mindedness.
We value the partnership between school and home, as your involvement plays a crucial role in your child’s success. Through regular newsletters, events, and parent workshops, we aim to keep you connected and informed throughout the year.
Together, we make this school a memorable experience of learning, growth, and achievement. We thank all our parents for entrusting us with their child’s education, and we look forward to working alongside prospective parents in order to make a positive impact in young lives.
