Research shows students are best prepared for innovation when creativity is part of early schooling. This is a priority for Dubai International Academy. Therefore, the Academy motivates and inspires young minds to aspire to achieve excellence in education with the help of well-qualified multi-national faculty with international teaching credentials.
Dubai International Academy (DIA) was established with the aim of offering excellence in education through international programmes of study that will prepare students for leadership roles and help them become lifelong learners for the Global Knowledge Economy.
The Academy focuses on pursuing excellence in a balanced academic environment that nurtures intellectual, emotional, physical and social development. Its stimulating curriculum integrates a variety of cross-curricular activities and uses structured inquiry as an ideal approach to learning.
DIA aspires to achieve and set, within the framework of the Geneva-based International Baccalaureate, world-class standards of education and an all-round development.
