DSB International School is located on 2 campuses in Mumbai, India. We are a co-educational, not for profit, independent school.
Background
DSB International School caters for 400 students from 32 different countries. Students at the school range in age from 3-18 years.
The school opened in 1961 and is the oldest international school in Mumbai. For the first 40 years, it was a German school following the curriculum from Germany, taught in German. In 2001, a small international primary section was opened and this has since grown into a British International School.
DSB International School is a growing, friendly, vibrant, child-centred and family-oriented organisation, strongly focused on developing future ready students. Parents from a supportive and very welcoming wider community, providing a ready made social life for newcomers to the city.
The school is managed by a Committee of elected parents, and run by the School Principal and the Senior Management Team.
DSB International School Today
The school comprises approximately 50% national and 50% international passport holders making for a diverse and vibrant community in which our learners thrive. Over 40% of our teachers come from outside India representing on average 10 different nationalities.
Year groups range from 10 - 40 students with two divisions in each grade up to Grade 5. At IGCSE and IBDP many classes are of a size that allows for considerable individual attention. Staff get to know the students very well. Consequently planning and teaching is personalised and adapted to meet the needs of individuals and small groups. Classes are mixed-ability and there is one class per year group.
The curriculum from Foundation Stage 1 to Grade 8, is broadly based on the English National Curriculum. Grades 9 & 10 follow Cambridge IGCSEs. The International Baccalaureate Diploma is offered for grades 11 & 12. The teaching of the German language and German culture is an important feature of the school reflecting our German roots.
In August 2014, the school introduced the IB Diploma Programme for the first time. The philosophy of the IBO fits very well with the aims, values and mission of the School Committee for the future of DSB International School.
In 2021, the school opened its new purpose built campus for 9-18 year-olds, . In designing the new campus, we aimed to cater to a larger school population without losing the personal, individual touch that has been so successfully established over the last half century.
