Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

Founded in 1961, The Indian High School is the first and longest-standing Indian educational institution in the Gulf. It is part of The Indian High Group of Schools, which has a long-standing tradition of scholarly, artistic, and athletic excellence. The inception was laid on the belief of giving back to the community, offering education at an affordable price for Indian expatriates in the UAE. It is a not-for-profit school run by a Board of Trustees. Celebrating 60 years, the group emphasizes its connection with the UAE's history.

Community

Community Connect describes IHS as a family united by traditions, values, responsibilities, and a humanitarian spirit. Life is celebrated as one community with events such as the Al Garhoud Investiture Ceremony 2023, DSO KG Graduation Day 2023, and Republic Day 2023. These events reflect ongoing, cross-campus community engagement.
