DISD-students thrive in a multilingual environment and develop into true global citizens. Mastery of the German language as a core competency is emphasized from kindergarten onward. This is reflected in our interdisciplinary, creative, and evidence-based listening and reading concepts.

French and Arabic (for non-native speakers) are professionally and efficiently learned as foreign languages. We guide many of our students to a native level in several languages, especially German, English and Arabic.

We want students to learn by doing, ‘hands-on’, through play, interaction, and collaboration with each other and with their teachers. Learning is student-centred and inquiry-led. Teachers facilitate learning and lead students into experience and present them with ‘why’, ‘how’ and ‘what if….’ Questions which may have more than one answer or inquiry pathway.

We want our students to grow and develop in a safe and stimulating environment, where they are listened to and supported, whatever their needs and abilities. We want our students to embrace challenges, to understand what they ‘can do,’ to know clearly what their next steps are to reach their objectives.

We want to motivate them and for them to persevere when facing difficulties. We teach that mistakes are opportunities to learn better. We spend time ensuring that misconceptions are revealed and gaps in understanding closed. We encourage our students to assess their own learning and the learning of others collaboratively. We develop questioning, encouraging students to probe deeper, checking their understanding and opening up new pathways for inquiry.

We want our students to be confident about sharing their learning, being creative in the use of language and communication to explain, persuade and take pride in their efforts. We believe that it is our role as teachers to design and reveal learning opportunities, to promote and celebrate discovery, to foster a love of learning that endures throughout life

Digital learning and innovation are important tools that support teaching and learning and also enable to support students’ learning at home. This allows us to ensure learning is creative through using age-appropriate apps and games. It also allows parents to see first-hand how our teachers interact with their children and also communicate with parents, so that ‘home-learning’ (rather than homework) is always a task to be enjoyed and not a chore.

Our enriched British curriculum draws inspiration from a thematic approach to learning that promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills thereby empowering students to excel in a constantly evolving world. Learning at Glendale is complemented by thoughtfully designed spaces that promote multi-sensory learning leading to an enhanced learning experience.

As an Apple-powered school, we equip students to be digitally proficient with the skills and knowledge to succeed in a technology-focused future. We offer the ‘Leader in Me’ programme inspired by Stephen Covey’s ‘7 Habits of Highly Effective People’, empowering students with leadership qualities & critical life skills.

In the last 20 years, we have grown to span 10 countries with 35 campuses combined in Singapore, India, Malaysia, Japan, Thailand, UAE, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Cambodia.
