As one of the only IB, bilingual, boarding schools in the world, SISD shares a commitment to high quality, challenging, and international education. We encourage and support all our students to become successful, global minded, enthusiastic lifelong learners who will confidently take advantage of future opportunities and help make a difference. Together with our teaching staff and parents, we support our students to develop to their full potential in a motivating, multilingual and international learning environment. .

Bilingual

Our unique international and multilingual environment provides all students with authentic exposure to English, French, German and Arabic through regular daily contact with native speakers. Students in the immersive bilingual streams learn to communicate, think and reflect in a range of different languages. We also offer an additional and unique IB STEAM curriculum for students  in addition to the bilingual stream. As global citizens we celebrate diversity, treating all languages and cultures with equal respect.

Excellence

We believe in maintaining high standards and aspire to be the best that we can be. We foster a spirit of enquiry, encouraging both creative and critical thinking.

Sustainability

We believe that social, cultural, economic and environmental awareness prepare us to play our part in shaping a better future, both for ourselves and for those around us. Our school campus is eco-friendly, using less energy to create a comfortable and healthy environment.

Togetherness

In our international community, we know that we are at our best when we all work together. We view active participation in the community, from the most local to the most global, as the foundation of a valuable life
