Discovery Bay International School

[EduCativ]

WELCOME TO DISCOVERY BAY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL (DBIS): THIS WEBSITE WILL ALLOW YOU TO GET A REAL PICTURE OF WHAT THE SCHOOL CAN PROVIDE. I ALSO HOPE THAT YOU COME AND VISIT DBIS IN PERSON AS WE WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO WELCOME YOU.
DBIS is very different from other international schools in Hong Kong. Centered in the wonderful community of Discovery Bay on the beautiful island of Lantau, the school derives much strength from its tranquil location and its surrounding active community. Establishing and maintaining strong, caring, respectful, and supportive personal relationships is key to the DBIS ethos. Our approach allows DBIS teachers to work in tandem with supportive and aspirational parents in focusing upon the individual. It also allows students to concentrate on the challenging task of learning, growing, and developing as individuals.
Our students enjoy a broad international curriculum with British characteristics and a distinctive learning journey that begins in Early Years (age 3-5), progresses to Primary school (age 6-11), and culminates in Secondary school (age 12-18). The DBIS student experience is characterized by a highly personalized learning environment, small class sizes, creative approaches to teaching and learning, and a broad range of extracurricular activities.
In DBIS we focus both in and outside the classroom. We excel in sporting events around Hong Kong as we take part in ISSFHK- the premier athletics championships for International schools and the HK Swim Championships. We also compete in sports abroad, with our participation in The Federation of British International Schools In Asia (FOBISIA) sports championships.
As a school, we collectively understand that each individual has their own specific needs, that is why we offer different creative arts to cater to all students. The school participates in the annual ISTA drama festival, which we hosted to great success in early 2017 whilst also hosting a drama production put on by our very own students which only gets better every year. As for music, we participate in the music FOBISIA annually providing students with a chance to explore different musical cultures from across South East Asia. In school, musical lessons are taught by externally hired professionals that offer a range of different instruments to study, which is why our musical department is so highly regarded.
We encourage DBIS students to be confident communicators, to be creative, resourceful, and inquisitive. DBIS learners collaborate, share ideas and opinions, and work together in teams. DBIS learners work hard and are proud of their achievements.
At the heart of our broad and balanced curriculum are several areas that we feel are essential for students to experience throughout their learning journey. These include problem-solving through mathematics and computing, proficiency in English, development of an additional language, creativity and performance in Music, Art, and Drama, plus health and wellbeing through sport and physical education.
