EXPLAINATION

Unique in Dubai, SSID is the only school to offer three language streams (German, French and English). It is also one of the few schools in the UAE to offer boarding. Located on an extensive world-class purpose-built campus overlooking the Dubai Creek, there are touches of its Swiss heritage, with climbing walls, sailing, a ski club and a strong focus on STEM subjects. Academically selective but inclusive, the school is a hub of internationalism. Principal Ruth Burke aims to ensure that “children are collaborators, risk-takers, curious, open-minded, linguistically adept, flexible and happy people; equipped to approach learning and life with curiosity, kindness and consideration.”…. true IB students!
