Quick Answer
Yes. Digital International School delivers the full British curriculum online across the GCC, with live lessons, postgraduate-qualified instructors, and Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level qualifications. Monthly fees start from AED 500 for IGCSE and AED 800 for A-Levels.
Yes. Families across the GCC can enrol their child in a fully online British curriculum school without relocating or attending a physical building.
Digital International School offers Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Checkpoint, Cambridge IGCSE, and Cambridge A-Levels entirely online. Every lesson is live, not pre-recorded. Students attend scheduled classes with a qualified instructor and interact in real time.
The school uses a proprietary platform. Through one login, students access their timetable, join live lessons, message instructors, and submit assignments. There is no need to switch between multiple apps.
The teaching team includes over 100 postgraduate-qualified instructors, all based across GCC locations. They understand local school calendars, regional university expectations, and the cultural context of families in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
Cambridge IGCSE and A-Levels are recognised by universities in the UK, US, Europe, and beyond. Universities assess the qualification itself, not whether the student studied online or in a classroom. Students sit the same Cambridge examinations and receive the same certificates.
These are the monthly fees for each programme level:
- Cambridge Primary: from AED 500
- Cambridge Checkpoint: from AED 500
- Cambridge IGCSE: from AED 500
- Cambridge A-Levels: from AED 800
Fees cover live lessons, platform access, instructor messaging, and the full resource library. There are no hidden per-subject charges at IGCSE level.
Entry is open at multiple points in the year and across all programme levels. The admissions process involves a short enquiry, a conversation with an academic adviser, and a recommended programme based on the student's age and prior learning.
