About The Indian High School

Founded in 1961, IHS is the first and longest-standing Indian educational institution in the Gulf — established a full decade before the founding of the United Arab Emirates. Our schools embody the cultures, values, and ethos of both India and the UAE in our learning and teaching, creating a unique and enriching educational environment for generations of students. For over 63 years, we have offered an education that broadens perspectives, challenges minds, and engages hearts. IHS has built a long and proud tradition of scholarly, artistic, and athletic excellence — producing graduates who go on to lead and contribute meaningfully in communities around the world. As we continue to grow and evolve, IHS remains deeply committed to honoring the rich shared heritage of India and the UAE while equipping every student with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to thrive in a rapidly changing global society.
