The Indian High School – Oud Metha

Established in 1961, the school is managed by Board Members. It was the first expatriate Indian educational institution to be established in Dubai. It, is the oldest, largest and the leading educational institution in the Gulf Region. The land for the school was granted by the then ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum. Over the last 5 decades the school has emerged as a towering citadel of quality education with recognition of the same from many quarters.

Among these, we are most proud of our achievement – the rating of Outstanding by the Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau (DSIB) for 5 consecutive years, the first Indian curriculum (CBSE) school to receive this rating and the first school to receive certification from CBSE as “CBSE New Generation Schools”.

I.H.S. is two-times winner (2003, 2005) of the “Sheikh Hamdan Award for Distinguished School and School Administration”, the highest educational award in the country. Besides I.H.S students and teachers have the distinction of winning the same award for “Distinguished Academic Performance” in some category or other, every year since the inception of the Award in 1998.

The school has approximately 9,641 boys and girls on its rolls and every year we send more than 700+ students (Grade 10) for All India Secondary School Examination and more than 500+ students (Grade 12) for the school-leaving public examination conducted by the CBSE.
