Dunya School was a part of Khazar University and was established by professor Hamlet Isaxanli (Isayev) (or Hamlet Isakhanli) in September 1998 in Baku, Azerbaijan with the objective to educate preschool and school students, individuals of 3–18 years old. 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(IBO).
Dunya School has facilities including a library, a computer lab with internet access, classrooms, an art studio, a beautiful theatre with lighting and sound systems, sport facilities, a lunch room, and buses for student transportation to and from school.

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.
At Dunya School, at the beginning, the medium of instruction was Azerbaijani (Azeri) with English as a second language. Use of English as a language of instruction prepares children to find links between their community and the world. The students learn and use English in an interactive way, connecting their knowledge with real-life situations, using demonstration techniques. Conversational Club is held for students of all classes to motivate them to interact in English. This makes the students feel at home in an English-speaking environment. Now Dunya School is threeligual, that is English? Azerbaijani and Russian, depending on students` and their parents interests.
