We are a thriving British international school, located in The Springs area of Dubai’s Emirates Hills delivering high-quality National Curriculum for England education to over a thousand students aged 3 to 18.

Our mission of ‘Enjoy, Aspire, Achieve’ perfectly captures the ethos of our great school, where students thrive in a nurturing yet challenging environment - able to achieve the best possible educational outcomes and flourish as individuals during the experience. It is this warmth of spirit that sets DBSEH apart, where every student, every member of staff and every parent can find their place. Schools are often talked about as being ‘happy places’, but DBSEH is made up of happy people - happy to be respected, valued, and appreciated, given every opportunity to succeed in a way that is meaningful to them. 

DBS Emirates Hills Curriculum

Our curriculum is modelled on the National Curriculum for England and adapted to our own international context, leading to a challenging set of GCSE, BTEC and GCE A Level courses from Year 10 to Year 13. We feel the opportunities that students enjoy outside the classroom are just as important as the main curriculum and we offer an extensive and varied Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA) programme.
