Dunya School was established by professor Hamlet Isaxanli in September 1998 in Baku, Azerbaijan with the objective to educate preschool and school students, individuals of 3–18 years old. The main idea for the students of Dunya was to think critically, manage resources responsibly, communicate effectively and incorporate a multicultural and international perspective. Dunya School is an IB World School. It is accredited by the Ministry of Education of Azerbaijan and the International Baccalaureate Organization.
Dunya School has offered the IB Programme for students ages 4 to 18 since January 2009. The Diploma Programme of IB is a challenging two-year programme of international education which leads to a qualification that is widely recognized by the world's leading universities. At Dunya School the language of instruction in the IB Programme is English. As an IB World School, Dunya promotes "international mindedness" and supports students to become inquirers, thinkers, communicators, risk-takers, knowledgeable, principled, caring, open-minded, well-balanced and reflective.
The learning style at the school is cooperative, friendly and student-oriented. The basic element of the learning process is formed by the students' self-evaluation — by discovering their own potential, taking on responsibilities, possessing self-confidence and, therefore, using their creativity and imagination in every aspect of life.
