To build a gifted future generation who will cherish our values and become custodians of a just, viable future.

SDIS offers students the opportunity to grow through a diverse and challenging curriculum along with a wide range of activities. Students are given ownership of the learning process and are encouraged to actively participate in their own education by setting personal goals and practicing reflective self-evaluation. Our inquiry-based programs and activities encourage students to discover their interests and strengths. All of this is done in a safe, caring and supportive school environment that fosters positive attitudes and allows students to challenge themselves and be risk-takers, without the fear of being judged.

We are equally committed to teaching our students to have a moral commitment to making our world a better place as reflective, caring, knowledgeable, and principled people. Each child is special, each is important. At SDIS, we nurture students to see themselves as people of substance – with character, passion, tolerance, and integrity, so that they can overcome future challenges and make a positive difference to their community and country.
