Inclusion

Inclusion

  • The Dubai International Private School operates a right-based model of education where we value diversity, as it creates a rich environment for all our students to learn and succeed.
  • This includes children who are exceptionally able as well as those for whom learning presents some challenges.
  • It is the shared responsibility of all staff to work collaboratively to support these students on their individual journeys through their education at DIPS and beyond.
  • DIPS wholeheartedly believes that successful and quality Inclusion provides all our students with the best chance for personal success while considering their wellbeing.

DIPS aims to provide all students with the opportunity to achieve their best academically, emotionally, and socially through:

  • Providing high quality learning that is tailored to the individual student to enable the acquisition of skills, knowledge, and concepts relevant to their future.
  • Promoting an ethos of care, mutual respect, and support, where effort is valued, and success celebrated.
  • Enabling students to become active, responsible, independent, and caring members of the school and wider international community.
  • Promoting wellbeing and a healthy lifestyle.
