About Discovery Bay International School (DBIS)


An education at Discovery Bay International School (DBIS) is about inspiring students to reach their potential and actively make a positive difference to the lives of others. We expect our students to explore the extraordinary number of enriching opportunities on offer and reach for their highest levels of attainment in all that they do. We are immensely proud of their achievements and in equal measure, we celebrate their excellent exam results, world class University destinations, excellence in the performing arts, sporting endeavour and service to others. There is a strong belief in the good of young people and that there is no limit to what they can achieve.

We embrace diversity and celebrate individuality. Key to the DBIS ethos is establishing and maintaining strong, caring, respectful and supportive personal relationships -everyone is known at Discovery Bay International School. As an international community school we draw immense strength from our tranquil location, engaged and aspirational parents and active local community. Our teachers are our greatest asset and DBIS students benefit immensely from small class sizes and outstanding relationships with staff they know, trust and who go the extra mile to put students first.

Students enjoy being at school. It is a happy, supportive and vibrant environment, full of challenge, opportunity and spirit!

Fundamental lack of support for children development. The reporting on child’s progress is very ambiguous and does not provide a clear framework on areas that require improvement (essentially a baseline). The method of teaching appears to be student led, which does not work when the children are at a stage when discipline and routine is required- the results speak for themselves and speaking with other parents it’s the same sentiment. In the end, we have removed our child from this school as basic maths and English was far below sub-standard. We would describe the school as a year long summer camp (an expensive one at that), rather than an educational institution. Unfortunately in Discovery Bay you are limited to options close by, so unless you move to another location or make a longer school commute, you’re shoehorned into this school if you wish your child to follow the British Curriculum (loosely)

I found that the classes were poor and the school was not very well organised. The teachers were not very nice and classes were overall just boring. The facilities were small and almost useless. A few of my classmates broke the school code on numerous occasions. It also was not rare to see kids stealing from the cafeteria either.

There are quite significant behavioral problems within the school. Communication with parents is poor and reporting and feedback is so ambiguous it is difficult to know how well your child is doing. Trending educational initiatives are adopted almost continuously but are not followed up and quickly disappear.

It's so diverse and we all celebrate each other's nationality. I really recommend it for people who are new here; There's a chance that there are people here who are also from the same place!
