Delhi Private School, Dubai (DPS Dubai; مدرسة دلهي الخاصة، دبي) is a private, co-educational day school located in Jebel Ali, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The school offers the CBSE curriculum and primarily serves the Indian expatriate community. Established in 2003, it provides education from Kindergarten (KG1) to Grade 12.

Overview

Initially established under the aegis of the Delhi Public School Society (DPS Society), the school was part of a global network of DPS institutions. In May 2018, the DPS Society formally ended its association with the school. DPS Dubai has since operated independently while continuing to follow the CBSE curriculum.

History

Delhi Private School, Dubai, opened in 2003, initially offering co-education up to Grade 4. By 2014, the school transitioned to a fully co-educational model across all grade levels. The institution has grown significantly in both enrollment and facilities since its inception.

The school is led by Principal Rashmi Nandkeolyar, who has played a pivotal role in shaping its academic and extracurricular profile.

Campus and facilities

Located in The Gardens, a residential area in southern Dubai, the campus features:

• Purpose-built academic blocks
• Science, mathematics, and computer laboratories
• Libraries and digital resource centers
• Multipurpose sports courts, a football ground, and a swimming pool
• Auditoriums and dedicated performance spaces
• Cafeteria and on-campus medical facilities

The school also emphasizes sustainability, integrating eco-friendly practices into its operations and curriculum.

Academics

DPS Dubai follows the CBSE curriculum prescribed by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), India. At the senior secondary level, students can opt for Science, Commerce, or Humanities streams.

The school consistently records strong academic results in CBSE Grade 10 and Grade 12 board examinations. A significant number of graduates pursue higher education in reputed universities both in India and abroad.

Regulatory evaluation

Delhi Private School, Dubai, is regulated by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), which oversees private education in Dubai. As per the most recent KHDA inspection, the school received a rating of "Very Good" for the academic year 2023–24.

Sister schools

DPS Dubai is affiliated with two sister institutions within the United Arab Emirates:

These schools operate independently but share similar pedagogical approaches and values.
