To me, the Swiss Club has always felt like a home away from home. It’s not just about the facilities or events, but the people that make the place what it is. There’s a really strong sense of community here – Members know each other; families spend time together, and there’s always a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether it’s a casual meal, a weekend activity, or a larger event, it genuinely feels like a place where people connect and belong. It’s that homely, close-knit environment that makes the Swiss Club so special.
Beyond the classroom, DCIS offers exceptional global opportunities through Nord Anglia Education partnerships, including The Juilliard School, MIT, and the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award—building creativity, innovation, and resilience.
For younger learners, the NEST programme (Nursery to Year 2) provides a nurturing, play-based environment rooted in enquiry and discovery.
DCIS brings together academic ambition, world-class experiences, and a warm community where every student feels known, supported, and inspired to thrive.
