Ideally located in east Lantau, with excellent transport links to Central, Tung Chung, South Lantau and Kowloon, Discovery Bay International School (DBIS) offers a first-class education to students looking to go on to top universities across the globe.

Starting in the early years and progressing through primary and secondary, the DBIS experience culminates in the sixth form (years 12 and 13), where students can select from a wide range of A Level and BTEC Level 3 courses. Here are four reasons why studying A Levels at DBIS is the right choice for your child.

Tailor-Made Education

With 21 subjects to choose from, sixth form students at DBIS can tailor their learning to individual strengths and passions. At A Level, there are no mandatory topics; students select three or four courses, allowing them to specialise in subjects they really want to study. This allows them to gain a comprehensive, in-depth understanding of their chosen subjects, building a solid foundation for further study at university and beyond. An additional extended project qualification is available for some students.

The ‘Gold Standard’ for University Entry

Highly regarded by top universities, the rigorous nature of A Levels demonstrates students have commitment, maturity and the ability to handle advanced topics. The programme fosters crucial academic skills such as critical thinking, analysis, independent study and time management, providing a holistic education that sets students up for success.

Low Student–Teacher Ratio

Students at DBIS sixth form benefit from small class sizes. This allows teachers to meet the unique needs of each student, fostering a supportive environment where every child can flourish. Our expert educators go the extra mile to support their students, providing mentorship, encouragement and additional help wherever needed. Lessons take place at our dedicated sixth form campus – a tranquil space that enables students to focus and encourages a sense of community. Study is further enhanced with specialist facilities at our main campus.
