The Indian High School, Dubai

The Indian High School is an educational institution in Oud Metha, Dubai, operating across multiple locations throughout the city. The school follows the Central Board of Secondary Education curriculum and accommodates approximately 15,000 students and about 900 teachers across its campuses.

The school was founded in 1961 when Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum granted land to Maghanmal Pancholia. This establishment made it the first expatriate school in the United Arab Emirates.

The school brings Indian educational traditions to life through festivals, art programs, and sporting events that reflect local customs. Visitors can observe how students experience this blend of both worlds during their daily activities.

The facility operates its own bus fleet service, simplifying transportation for the large student population. The Oud Metha location sits close to the GGICO Metro station, making it accessible for visitors arriving by public transit.

The institution operates on a non-profit basis, offering affordable education to expatriate families. Despite this approach, it maintains strong academic standards and holds international certifications.
