The Indian High School draws on a 60+ year heritage as a leading not-for-profit, following its founding by a bequest of land by the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Former Ruler of Dubai. Toady, across all three Indian High School campuses, more than 13,000 students are educated – but the school has still been over-subscribed every year across every all its phases and Year Groups. The school offers extraordinarily low fees whilst delivering an outstanding level of education for students – with stand-out subject breadth and whole child centred curriculum.

Speaking to SchoolsCompared, Mr Vasu commented:

“As a student who benefitted from the extraordinary opportunities opened up by an education at the Indian High School Dubai, I could not be more honoured, on behalf of the school, to receive the SchoolsCompared Top Schools Award for Best Indian Curriculum School in the UAE 2021-22.

It could not be more fitting as today we celebrate the opening of our landmark new “Block A” facility, a labour of love built so that we can welcome to our school many more of those students and families who also seek the outstanding educational opportunities opened up at this historic and very, very special school in the UAE.”
