We take pride in ensuring we can offer the latest IT equipment and technology tools to support and enhance the learning process - from interactive whiteboards and tablets to specialised software and digital resources

With nearly 100 activities taking place each week, Extra Curricular Activities play an important role at DESC. Students participate in and enjoy many opportunities for involvement in areas outside the established curriculum. We continually aim to produce a range of exciting sporting, creative, cultural and aesthetic activities that will help all of our students to develop their talents. There is a clear expectation of our students to participate in at least one ECA per term. All students have gifts and through the extra-curricular programme, we seek to enhance their learning experiences beyond the compulsory curriculum throughout their time at DESC.

DESC students excel on national and international stages, from sports coached by ex-professionals to performing arts opportunities linked with prestigious institutions.DESC's sports programme is renowned for its competitive edge and engages students across 120 teams in a wide range of fixtures each year. Rugby, netball, football, and swimming are our major sports, each supported by specialist directors and tailored development programmes. Additionally, we field competitive teams in athletics, aquathon, basketball, cricket, golf, rounders, running, tennis, and water polo, all backed by experienced and certified coaches

We would assess the requirement for assistance for both written and spoken English, this is usually ascertained in our entrance assessments to ensure all students are able to access the curriculum.

As part of the National Curriculum of England we offer French and Spanish and the UAE Ministry of Education require Arabic. These languages are all offered at both GCSE and A level qualification grades.
