Academics

At SISD, the academic journey begins in Pre-Primary, where children are immersed in a bilingual environment that nurtures their curiosity and creativity. As students advance to primary and secondary levels, they transition to the International Baccalaureate framework, including the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the IB Diploma Programme. The curriculum is designed to foster holistic development, encouraging inquiry-based learning and critical thinking.

Students in the secondary phase prepare for IGCSE and A-Levels, with assessments that measure both knowledge and skills. The transition between phases is seamless, with personalized academic support ensuring that students are well-prepared for the rigors of the IB Diploma Programme. This academic pathway not only emphasizes academic excellence but also the development of attributes aligned with the IB Learner Profile.
