School Calendar
At Diyafah International School our mission is to adopt a holistic approach to our students' learning and development. What goes on inside the classroom is clearly very important in developing knowledge and skills across a broad and balanced curriculum and in preparing students for key external assessments in the future. But learning goes well beyond the classroom and we hope that in reviewing the wide range of School Events which take place throughout the school year on our website you will see firsthand, through text and images, the other learning and developmental opportunities our students are engaged in – from fundraising for charity to raising awareness of important social and health related issues from student leadership opportunities to celebrating extraordinary out of school success stories.
