DESSConnect

A Community Connected for Life

For more than six decades, Dubai English Speaking Schools (DESS) has been a place where friendships are formed, talents are discovered, and futures are shaped.

Following the success of our DESS Connect magazine, our Alumni Network brings together former students, parents, and staff from across the world to celebrate those experiences and continue the story beyond the classroom.

Here, you can reconnect with old friends, stay updated on school news, share achievements, and take part in events that keep the DESS spirit alive long after graduation.

Celebrate Your Journey

Every alumnus has a story worth telling. We spotlight the achievements, careers, and life journeys of our graduates—from global leaders to creative innovators.
Through features, interviews, and alumni spotlights, we honour the unique paths shaped by the foundation of a DESS education.
Share your story with us and inspire the next generation.
