It is my very great pleasure to welcome you to Dubai British School Emirates Hills (DBSEH), a Taaleem school.

DBSEH is a thriving British international school, located in The Springs and Meadows area of Dubai’s Emirates Hills. As a Taaleem school, we provide high-quality education to over a thousand students aged 3 to 18.

The school is a warm and happy one, well regarded within Dubai and with a distinct ‘community feel’ evidenced by the number of students cycling, scootering or walking from within the local community and the welcome presence of families at our onsite café for their morning caffeine hit and catch – up with other parents. DBSEH has a philosophy grounded in the science of Positive Psychology – doing good and feeling for self, others and our environment. Our approach is to develop a fully inclusive learning community which is positive, engaged and connected in line with our vision statement of ‘Enjoy, Aspire, Achieve’.

Students at DBSEH thrive in a nurturing yet challenging environment – able to achieve the best possible educational outcomes and to flourish as individuals during the experience. We celebrate this individuality, praising a musical solo as warmly as we do an A* grade, and promoting a wonderful piece of artwork or sporting brilliance as much as we do when a DBS student gains entrance into a highly competitive university place.

Schools are often talked about as being ‘happy places’, but DBSEH is made up of happy people – happy to be respected, valued, and appreciated, given every opportunity to succeed in a way that is meaningful to them. I do hope that you are able to visit the school, to see and feel this for yourself, and to hopefully join the DBSEH community as a student, parent or member of staff.
