Diyafah International School, Abu Dhabi builds on the 40+ years of legacy of Dubai’s Al Diyafah High School.
We value ongoing, constructive dialogue with parents. The main way that our school communicates with parents is via our Diyafah Communicator.
Diyafah International School Abu Dhabi began a new chapter of the Diyafah Story in 2013 which offers a purpose-built facility with fully integrated technology through the school. In 2020, Diyafah completed its expansion to a Secondary School with state-of-the-art facilities.
Al Diyafah International School was founded in September 1982, by Late Mrs. Winnie D’Cunha. It started as a Nursery with only 2 children in a small villa located on Al Diyafah Street, in Dubai. That’s how it got its name.
The school’s objective is best expressed through its mission statement of attempting to create competent, caring and confident students through its holistic based education.

We are thankful for professional teachers who are working hard to help our children be outstanding, not just as students but as people. This is why, we as a family, trust Diyafah International School
My children always share about their days at school and I know that they are valued and supported in their classes. The community as a whole plays a vital part of making a positive learning experience for each of my children both in and out of the classroom. Thank you, Diyafah.
My experience with DIS teachers were always great from the first year we joined till now and I am sure it will stay the same. I want you to know that I am more than happy about what you are offering to my kids and that my kids are in the right place where I want them to be.
