Do you believe education can change the world?
Are you an educator who leads with kindness, sets high expectations, and helps every learner achieve their personal best?
Then it’s time to Go Beyond with Star, Mirdif.
Welcome to Star Mirdif.
We are a lively, all-through British international school in Dubai - a place where children are known, families are valued, and teachers are empowered to make a meaningful difference. As part of the International Schools Partnership (ISP), we combine global expertise with deep local roots.
We are proudly inclusive, built on trust and personal bests - where students grow in confidence and character, not just grades.
We believe in awe and wonder, in high expectations with high care, and in doing what works, not just what’s always been done.
Our staff culture is grounded in the Star, Mirdif Way:
Commit to our STAR culture and values
Hold one another accountable with kindness
Go Beyond for our students and each other
If that sounds like your kind of school, keep reading.
What we believe
Every student can achieve their personal best through care, challenge, and high expectations.
Great teaching changes lives - and every educator can keep getting better.
Learning should spark curiosity, confidence, and character.
Schools thrive when kindness and ambition grow side by side.

Music technology suite with recording studio
Podcasting and digital media labs
3D printing workshop and innovation studio
A space where curiosity meets creation - where imagination becomes invention, and where our students truly Go Beyond.
