We raised the UAE flag in celebration of UAE Flag Day, reflecting on its powerful symbols of Unity, Pride, and Prosperity. All our students took part in this special day, feeling truly honoured to live in a country filled with endless opportunities for growth. 🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪 #UAEFlagDay

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay! Let’s take a moment to check in with ourselves & each other. Mental wellbeing matters every day - whether it’s a kind word or a small act of care, every little bit makes a difference. Tag us when you share your messages of self-care & support.

Our primary students marked World Mental Health Day with warmth and care! From cosy reading time and friendship bracelets to yoga and fun with friends, it was all about well-being. Oooh, and sweet treats for our SLT from Primary Counsellor, Ms Jootla! #WorldMentalHealthDay

Happy National Teaching Assistants’ Day to all our fabulous Teaching Assistants at DIS. You are a valuable asset to our school and we are grateful for everything you do to support our students and teachers. You're AMAZING! #weareDIS #Education #TeachingAssistantsday

We visited @uasdubai_ to hear more about their plans for the new academic year and learn about their provision for Arabic first language students, especially as part of their IB Diploma Programme. We thank them for their efforts to improve students' Arabic skills.
