SISD is one of only two boarding schools in the UAE, offering students from all over the world a unique bilingual IB education. Especially popular with families, our campus is just moments from Dubai International Airport and easily accessible from across the Gulf and beyond – a home away from home for families from all over the world. Our boarding programme combines Swiss educational excellence with world-class facilities, flexible boarding options (full, weekly, and flexi), and instruction in English, English/French, English/German streams, making us the only bilingual boarding schools in the Middle East.
Our spectacular campus - located in one of the world's
most dynamic cities - is the perfect place to live and learn. At our international boarding school in Dubai, your child will grow as an individual, excel intellectually and receive a world-class, bilingual Swiss education. Our culturally diverse community, consisting of students and staff of over 100 nationalities, speaking more than 40 languages, means your child will form lifelong friendships with peers from around the globe. Boarding with us also means exciting activities, expert academic support, and the very best pastoral care is available every single day.
The health and happiness of our boarders is our top priority. Parents from all over the GCC and from over 100 countries worldwide entrust us to guide, nurture and support their child’s holistic growth.
Our Boarding Team is available 24/7, living on campus to care for our boarders’ needs around the clock. We also have a medical centre, a dedicated boarding nurse, and school counsellors.
Our boarders enjoy a nutritious diet, form positive social relationships, and take part in regular physical activity - all essential elements of a healthy lifestyle. They also follow a set routine, which offers structure and helps them to make the most of their time here.
We take this responsibility extremely seriously, and that’s just one of the reasons we’re considered one of the best boarding schools in the Middle East.
Your child will thrive at our vibrant boarding school in Dubai. They will study, relax, and connect with friends in one of our two purpose-built boarding houses, thoughtfully designed to offer a welcoming and modern environment.

These range from culinary courses and boat trips around Dubai Old Town to hiking in the mountains. Every evening, your child can enjoy tailored activities designed around study time and opportunities to unwind, play games, and watch movies with friends.
Food is one of the most important parts of any boarding experience. We know how important it is to create a delicious, nutritious, and ever-changing menu that our students look forward to every day.
Throughout the week, our boarders enjoy nutritious breakfasts, lunches in our dining hall with schoolmates, and evening dinners shared with friends. At weekends, students come together for a lively brunch and enjoy BBQs, takeaway evenings, or meals out. Our boarders’ favourite drinks and snacks are available in our boarding house kitchens and pantries, too.
