At Deira International School students experience the combination of high-quality teaching, the National curriculum for England plus the IB Global curriculum complemented by top class facilities and resources for learning. They are inspired to
be their very best.

Deira International School opened in 2005 and is one of the two premium schools owned and operated by the Al Futtaim Education Foundation. The Al Futtaim Education Foundation schools are operated as not-for-profit. Working alongside an
organisation like the Al-Futtaim Group means they are uniquely positioned to provide real-world learning experiences (internships) to the students that other schools simply cannot offer.

A World of Opportunities for All Their Students
As a fully inclusive international school, for students aged three years to eighteen years, they are committed to providing an excellent education for all students enabling them to enjoy and achieve beyond their expectations. When students leave Deira International School, they go on to study at some of the most prestigious universities in the world.

They also offer an extensive curriculum program beyond the classroom with visits, trips, competitions, clubs and co- curricula activities providing enrichment for all our students.

For their older students, they offer access to a unique experiential learning program (summer internships) through our links to the Al-Futtaim Group. This provides students with real life business experience in the automotive industry, financial services, real estate and retail sector, covering functions such as marketing, HR and legal.

Through their links to the Al-Futtaim Group, their IBCP (careers-related programme) students have the fantastic opportunity to develop their professional skills and gain valuable experience in an environment that directly links to their career aspirations.
Their approach motivates and equips students to further their education beyond Deira International School and most importantly, to view education as a lifelong process.
