The DBIS School Council governs the school under Section 32 of the Hong Kong Education Ordinance. The Council is responsible for budget, building developments, safety and the Head of School appointment. The school originated in 1983 when the Cha family, owners of Hong Kong Resorts International, established DBIS.
DBIS’s Early Years Foundation Stage comprises FS-1 and FS-2, taught at a dedicated EYFS campus in Discovery Bay, Lantau Island. The programme follows the EYFS within the school’s broader British curriculum framework, with English as the language of instruction and EAL support for children who are new to English. The campus features Reggio Emilia-inspired learning spaces, a library, dining hall, specialist music room and generous outdoor areas. A distinctive feature at EYFS is the Forest & Beach Schools programme, giving each child regular, structured time to learn outdoors in local natural settings. Families can review admissions and fees via the School Admissions page, which links to the official DBIS Fees & Levies document. The school also offers school bus arrangements within Discovery Bay and publishes regular parent information and workshops, including Mandarin learning sessions.
