The greatest privilege in my life is to lead this wonderful school, which truly is a school focused on learning, and in which the voice of all: students, staff, and parents are heard and valued. We have a ‘can do’ culture that ensures the teachers are constantly innovating to keep learning as our focus, and that the lives of our students are filled with meaningful and purposeful experiences.
As the de facto British School of Mumbai and the only COBIS-accredited member school in India, we are the obvious choice for international families. What is a British International School? For us, it is one where the curriculum is based on leading English medium programmes of learning; there is a clear commitment to diversity and equity, and in which safeguarding for students is at the heart of all we do.
It is our international ethos and composition which is valued by all parents in the school. This sets us apart in Mumbai as a truly international school, where our students grow up developing the skills of intercultural competence, preparing them as future change-makers in our global community.
We are continuing to take advantage of our German heritage; we publish a student German newspaper, and have exchange visits with the Ernst-Sigle-Gymnasium Kornwestheim in Stuttgart, and the Deutsche Schule New Delhi to support the learning of the German Language.
Learning is at the heart of all that we do at DSB. Through promoting an understanding of metacognition among all stakeholders, we are preparing for learning in the world of AI. We are focusing on what is uniquely human and how we can develop those advantages to support our students going out into this very different world.
It is a joy to walk around the school and see the students enthusiastically participating in their learning. Creating active enthusiastic learners is key to our Vision: "Empowering Individual success". We encourage them to ask questions; we foster their curiosity, and we aid them to understand how they can think even harder. We concentrate on the positive: what students can do, and celebrate this, so that each of our young learners develops the confidence and strong self-image that will support them in facing the challenges of life beyond school. At DSB, learning is lifelong, and we educate our children not for an endpoint but for the future.
