DSB International School

DSB International School caters for over 360 students from approximately 30 different countries. Students at the school range in age from 3-18 years. Our vision is Empowering Individual Success and all that we do in school seeks to ensure each learner's journey is characterised by growth and opportunities to celebrate their achievement.

The school opened in 1961 and is the oldest international school in Mumbai. For the first 40 years, it was a German school following the curriculum from Germany, taught in German. In 2001, a small international primary section was opened and this has since grown to include the secondary level. Mother tongue German speakers still receive Deutsch als Muttersprache as a subject.

DSB International School is a mid sized, friendly, vibrant, child-centred and family-oriented organisation, which offers a variety of extra-curricular activities. Parents are very supportive.

The school is managed by a Committee of elected parents, and run by the School Principal and the Senior Management Team.

DSB International School Today

The student body comprises approximately 55% local families and 45% international passport holders. Many families come from the returning Indian diaspora. We are a rich blend of Indian and international cultures with a strong presence of East Asian families too. 

Classes are small: maximum 20. This means that staff get to know the students very well. We specialise in adaptive teaching to meet the requirements of all our students. We are leaders in leveraging AI to support learning. We are also highly focused on wellbeing with a strong and ever growing commitment to DEIJ and sustainability.

The curriculum from 3-16 years is broadly based on the English National Curriculum, including IGCSEs accredited by Cambridge International Education Examination Board. The International Baccalaureate Diploma is offered from 16+ years. The teaching of the German language and German culture is an important feature of the school.

In 2021, the school opened its new Euro Campus for grade 3 upwards; grade 2 will also move across in 2025 to make Garden Campus a logical unit of Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1.

Our first cohort of IBDP learners graduated in 2016. Since then students have gone on to study at universities around the world. The close alignment of the school's philosophy with that of the IB ensures our learners are very well prepared for further study and almost none of our graduates have ever dropped out of university.
