Uniform policy: The DIS uniform and team kit are provided by Threads. Uniforms can be browsed in the Threads catalogue or ordered online at threadsme.com, and a DIS retail shop is located at Burjuman Mall (Shop 1001-1003, Level 2). Made-to-measure options are available.
Two on-site cafeterias serve primary and secondary students, offering drinks, snacks and hot meals. Breakfast is available in the secondary cafeteria, or students may bring a packed breakfast; packed breakfasts must be nut-free and adhere to the school's healthy eating policy.
The house system comprises four houses. Students earn points for their house through lessons, house competitions and assemblies, contributing to school spirit.
