Uptown School

About Uptown School

Welcome to Uptown International School (UIS), a Taaleem school, and one of the best IB schools in the country. Located in the heart of the Mirdif community in Dubai, UIS is a place for students to learn how to think critically, challenge assumptions, excel, build character, make lifelong friendships and become multilingual global citizens – ready for the 21st century. We have a magnificent campus with wonderful facilities. We have a world-class curriculum with the genuine ambition of changing lives and changing the world in which we live. We have an inspirational and truly education-centred parent company in Taaleem, committed to the UAE National Agenda. However, what makes Uptown International School, a genuinely special place is our students. They are risk-takers who understand that they learn from their mistakes and know that through perseverance and resilience, they can achieve their dreams. This, of course, does not happen by accident. By offering three programmes of the International Baccalaureate, – the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP), – we provide a seamless educational experience to students from age three to eighteen. The programmes are centred around the concept of developing internationally-minded students who learn how to become better people and better learners.
