Dubai International Academy, Emirates Hills
Established in September 2005, Dubai International Academy (DIA) was the first school in the UAE to be authorised by the Geneva based International Baccalaureate to offer the full continuum of the (IB) programmes - Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), Diploma Programme (DP) and Careers-related Programme (CP).
It is an IB World School that has a student population of over 2800 students from over 85 countries.
DIA is also the first and only IB school in Dubai to achieve ‘Outstanding’ status in KHDA inspections, a unique distinction in Dubai, reflecting our commitment to nurturing academic excellence and holistic growth, and which underscores our role as a leader in the region’s education landscape.
In addition to this accolade, the school was recently awarded the Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Order of Merit for Sports Education, and is accredited by NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges) and a member of THIMUN (The Hague International Model United Nations).
It is one of the first schools in the UAE to be awarded the prestigious Green Flag by Eco-Schools UAE.
The IB programmes are designed to challenge students to meet the highest internationally recognised standards in academic achievement as students prepare for higher education. We take pride in our students’ university placements to many of the top-ranking universities in the US, UK, Canada and other parts of the world.
