INSPIRING SPACES FOR LEARNING, CREATIVITY & COMMUNITY

DQ provides a high-quality British curriculum that is adapted for the local and international context, underpinned by concept-based learning, student well-being and co-curricular programmes. Emphasis is placed on a holistic education - an approach to learning which focuses on all aspects of an individual, rather than just their academic or intellectual development, in order to prepare them for the world.


The school was constructed in 2020 and boasts all the incredibly well-equipped amenities expected of a world-class international school: libraries, laboratories, sports facilities, medical rooms, computer labs and more.

Our Facilities

  • LIBRARY The library at DQ is flooded with natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that encourages all students to explore and learn.
  • SWIMMING Our swimming pool provides the perfect environment for every student to learn and thrive in the water. It’s also home to energetic swimming galas that combine friendly competition with a strong sense of House spirit.
  • ART The art rooms are a sanctuary of creativity, a space where imagination takes flight and all students feel empowered to express themselves.
  • SPORTS Primary and Senior sports halls with volleyball, basketball, netball and badminton courts, outdoor courts with Teqball®️ and table tennis tables and astroturf fields all offer numerous opportunities for year-round sports for all students.
  • FOOD TECHNOLOGY Designed to bring learning to life, our food technology space allows students to cook, create, and investigate the vital role of food and nutrition in everyday life.
  • PERFORMING ARTS The DQ campus has a multi purpose hall and auditorium that can easily be made into a beautiful performance space with retractable seating that can seat an audience of 520. The auditorium also features a state of the art sound system, lighting rig and projector which can be used for meetings and other events. There is also portable staging that can be utilised in many different ways, including extending the stage outwards. This flexible space is used for meetings, lessons, workshops, assemblies, performances and more, the beauty of the space being its adaptability.
