Al Diyafah High School Dubai was founded in 1982 by the late Mrs. Winnie D'Cunha. It began as a nursery with two children in a small villa on Al Diyafah Street. To accommodate growth, the school moved to a new campus in 2001, where it remains located. The Diyafah brand later expanded to Diyafah International School in Abu Dhabi, established in 2013. The Dubai campus now educates over 1,900 students from many nationalities, reflecting a longstanding commitment to holistic education. (sources: turn0search0)
