Join our virtual event and learn more about Grades 1 – 12 on Tuesday, October 11 at 18:30! Our Director and Principals from Primary and Secondary school are introducing DIS. Meet our students and teachers when they share stories from daily school life and parents who love to talk about their experiences. 

On Saturday, 17 September, our 18th annual golf tournament brought together friends, colleagues, donors, and golf lovers for a day of fun, fellowship, and fundraising in support of our school, with all proceeds, directly supporting the modernization of our Secondary School Science Labs, planned for summer 2023. 

The new school year begins with a new leadership team. We warmly welcome our new director, Carla Marschall, and our new primary school principal, Chris Boreham. Both are an enormous asset to our community. 

We are thrilled to announce that we are again offering a great co-curricular program for Primary and Secondary students in Semester 1. We know how important these programs are for our students to be connected, have fun, extend their learning, and to feel part of the community. 

Our new school year started with Outward Bound team-building activities for our Grade 6 to 12 students. Some grade levels went climbing and hiking in Saxon Switzerland and others built soapbox vehicles together as a team. By exposing our students to these team-building and bonding activities, they learn how to successfully implement a project together with others. 

Our Preschool teacher Miho Karasawa-Moritz was honored with the Christa Peterson International Teacher Award. Congratulations! Miho dedicates herself to her students’ learning, makes strong connections with families, and continuously develops her teaching craft through professional development and trying out new strategies or ideas. We are very proud of our talented, dedicated, and well-educated teachers who help make DIS a special place.
