'We are disk'

​DISK is about friendship, nurturing respect for all cultures, academic achievement, collaboration, balanced living, community, creativity and expression, with a spirit of excitement.

​We are not an English Language school. All instruction is in English and follows the International Baccalaureate (IB).
​We are not a boarding school.

Director's Welcome
