Dubai Schools: Availability & Discounts, 2016/17

Why choose our school: DBSJP is a new family and one that has already developed very close relationships throughout our school. These relationships are the fundamental building blocks that will allow your children to grow, flourish and develop to their fullest potential. While academics are very important at DBSJP and at the center of everything we do, we also emphasis the whole child and proactively support the development of interpersonal skills, life skills and encourage children to have an open, positive, resilient attitude to life and its challenges. We want to build and encourage positive learners who take risks and rise to every challenge with a smile on their face. In partnership with parents we have created a school environment that supports these aims and we hope that your child will become part of that.
