84% of students in Arabic secured stanine 6 and above in the recently held Arabic International Benchmark Test, which is outstanding as per KHDA benchmarks. 19 students achieved outstanding results with 3 Honors,
4 High Distinctions and 12 Distinctions.




Students outperformed their TIMSS Targets consistently in ASSET 2017 & 2018 –Math and Science.


The school moved up 14 parameters in DSIB 2017 Inspection. Our teachers and leaders have worked very diligently on curriculum mapping and in benchmarking the school’s CBSE curriculum to high performing TIMSS international curriculum. The positive impact is evident not only on improved student outcomes in ASSET, but also in the school curriculum being adjudged as Good.


National Agenda parameters met. Excerpts from the DSIB 2017 inspection report:
“The development and provision of a broad curriculum across the school which has helped to improve student's attainment” - DSIB- 2017.
“Attainment as indicated by the National Agenda Parameter (N.A.P)
benchmarks is above expectations in mathematics and meets expectations in English and Science” -DSIB-2017.


Grade 9 approval by KHDA reflects the faith that they have on the SIS fraternity.


Art, Karate, Drama, Zumba, Music, Sports across the school and purposeful play-based learning in the Kindergarten provide our students with hands on concrete learning experiences that build the foundations of better physical health, well-being, happiness, and most importantly the joy of life-long learning.
The energetic Sports days and Imaginative Concerts witnessed 100 % participation of students amazing us with their creativity and talents on the field and stage.


The SIS Innovation Camp
Students across the school engaged in innovative learning ventures across all subjects deepening their spirit of discovery and promoting enquiry. Students explored a wide range of learning experiences from nurturing pets and sensorial messy play to thought provoking vedic mathematics, Scientists of the day, coding and flying drones.


The Problem Based Learning and hands on construction projects in the STREAM Labs ensure integration of Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Art and Math and engage students in design thinking to solve local and global problems. The impact is evident in SIS STEM Teams winning the award for Best Project Presentation and Best Team Work First LEGO League -Inter-School Competition wherein 40 schools and 105 teams participated.


As part of the ‘Year of Giving’, and with a view to bringing joy to the millions of children of war and refugee children in the world, the students of SIS led the ‘Children for Children’ campaign – a unique celebration of the Indian and Universal Children’s day, on 20th November, 2017, under the patronage of the Consulate General of India and in association with Red Crescent, Dubai.


His Excellency - Vipul, Consul General of India, Dubai; Mr. Pankaj Bodkhe, Consul (Education), Robin Singh, Ex-Indian Cricketer and Coach, Al Najah Board Members, Principals and more than 300 student representatives from various schools in the UAE gathered on SIS grounds demonstrating their solidarity to this noble cause.
The Children of Sabari reached out to the children of the other schools in the UAE and garnered the support of children, for children and by children to contribute cartons toys, books, clothes, jackets, blankets and other essential goods to Red Crescent for the children refugees of the world.


The Year of Giving – The students, staff and parents of SIS donated AED 10,000 to Dubai Cares through the SIS Carnival of Giving. The entire SIS community and the wider Dubai Community collaborated to create moments of joy and togetherness, so that they could build schools for needy children in the world through Dubai Cares.

Skillful Governance
All of this would not be possible without the strong support of the CEO Mr. Raza Khan, Director- Mr. Kenneth Jones, Head of Indian Schools- Ms. Karan Brown and the board of governors who worked very closely with us. This has been rightly appreciated by KHDA in the recent inspections with Governance moving up to a Good.
“The school is supported very well by a skilled board of governors” – DSIB 2017.
