DISCOVERY BAY

INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

A FAMILY’S PERSPECTIVE Sarah and Dan Lewis have two sons at DBIS, Edward (Year 2) and Alexander (Nursery)

The holistic and personalised approach to learning within Early Years attracted us to DBIS; the outdoor play areas and the creative classrooms, coupled with the relatively small class sizes, were also a big draw for us. My eldest has flourished in his learning since Nursery.

The school’s online learning enabled the kids to access learning throughout the school closure days, with more structure for the older children, with both online and offline activities. The dedication by the teachers during this time meant that both the students and parents had great accessibility to the required materials.

The facilities and educational standards are outstanding, yet it has maintained its community feel, and provides opportunities for families to be involved in the school’s development. There are many opportunities for the parents to interact with the teaching staff, senior leadership and one another.

A NOTE FROM THE SCHOOL

With over 50 nationalities at the school, we celebrate and embrace diversity at DBIS, encouraging a strong sense of community, caring and supporting relationships and a sense of service to others. DBIS uniquely combines the rigour and high standards of the English National Curriculum from Nursery to A Level with an enquiry-based approach to learning, enabling our students to grow into committed and effective learners and take up places at the top global universities. There’s also a broad extracurricular offering, and a strong wellbeing and pastoral programme to support students’ emotional development.

What’s new?

Benefitting from the unique tranquil environment of Discovery Bay, we’re continuing to build on our experiential and outdoor learning programmes, and we’re excited to expand the Creative Arts programme this year with newly refurbished drama facilities.
