Principal’s Message
Welcome to the academic year 2022-23,
As I enter my fifth year as Principal of DSB I am full of enthusiasm and expectation for the coming year. This August we welcome fifty newfamilies. We have also onboarded new international teaching staff, including our Head of Primary, bringing experience and understanding from the UK, German and international schools.
As the de facto British School of Mumbai, the only COBIS member school in India, we should be an obvious choice for international families . "What is a British International School", you may ask? For us, it is one where the curriculum is based on leading English Medium programmes of learning, and in which safeguarding for students is at the heart of all we do. Why is attracting foreign families so important to us? It is our international ethos and composition which is valued by all parents in the school. This sets us apart as a truly international school, where our students grow up developing the skills of intercultural competence which will be of much use to them in the future.
Read MoreWe are continuing to take advantage of our German heritage bycollaborating with the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce to promote exciting opportunities for study and work in Germany. Look out for our online German newspaper, our planned programme of talks, and news on our developing links with the Ernst-Sigle-Gymnasium Kornwestheim in Stuttgart with whom we are planning a student exchange visit.
It is a real joy to walk around the school and see the students enthusiastically participating in their learning. Learning is at the heart of all that we do at DSB. Creating active enthusiastic learners is our mission: as we say in our Vision, Growing Learning Minds. We encourage them to ask questions, we foster their curiosity and we aid them to understand how they can learn even better. We concentrate on the positive - what students can do, and celebrate this so that each of our young learners develops the confidence and strong self-image that will support them in facing the challenges of life beyond school. At DSB, learning is lifelong, and we educate our children not for an end-point but for the future.
If you would like to learn more about us and join our unique learning community - please reach out to admissions@dsbindia.com or me personally at principal@dsbindia.com - you will be made very welcome.
Yours,
Dr Howard Gee
Principal
