We have had our two oldest daughters in DIA since 2007 and then our third daughter joined as well and she is now in 3rd grade. Every year new activities, sports and events take place. It’s vibrant team of staff are charismatic and dedicated to work and meet the IB standards. Their learning experiences and efforts is shown on a daily basis towards the academic attainment of their students.
We have been part of the DIA family since 2010 when my son joined in KG 1, he is now in year 7 and my daughter is in year 4. I like to use the word ‘family’ as that’s what I feel DIA is all about. The enthusiastic staff are always welcoming and ensure their learning experiences and efforts not only meet the IB standards but also take each child’s learning needs into consideration. We strongly believe in the IB programme and are convinced that DIA is one of the best schools in the region to deliver it.
I joined DIA in August 2010 and my journey so far has been enlightening. When I joined, I was completely new to the IB and now I fully understand and appreciate the IB philosophy.
Since I was a student in kindergarten, DIA’s warm community has shaped me to become the hardworking, determined, approachable individual person I am today.
I have been with DIA for a long time now as part of the Science team. I am also part of the Competitive Sports program here at DIA as a Football, Athletics and Rounders’ coach.
Never stop improving yourself. It sounds quite vague and unimportant but it is true. Take it from me, when I first came to this school, it took me a while to understand what my teachers expected of me and how to make effective improvements to myself academically.
Having chartered many crews of students to multiple Math Olympiads across the world, I am always on the lookout for new avenues where my students can shine!
Throughout my high school career, DIA has provided me with a platform to balance my academics as well as my extra-curricular activities.
