Curriculum
The school provides kindergarten, primary and secondary education. Students in Years 10 and 11 follow the International General Certificate of Secondary Education program and pursue A levels and BTEC qualifications in Years 12 and 13.[7][8]
DBIS was the first school in Hong Kong to introduce forest and beach schools to its early years curriculum.[9] It has since expanded into the primary curriculum.[10] It was one of the first schools outside of the UK to offer the Mini and Junior Duke Awards to its primary-aged students.[11] It also runs The Hong Kong Award for Young People (HKAYP) programme for its older students.
The school joined the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA) in 2010.[12]
