Note: The site does not publish a formal admissions guide. The following step-by-step outline reflects publicly available cues and common international-school practices; for exact steps, contact the school directly.
1. Initiate contact and gather basic information. The school provides a Get in touch option on its site to start the admissions dialogue, and the principal's message emphasizes engaging with families through the registration process. Have your child's basic details ready (age, current grade) to help the school tailor initial information. This initial contact helps set expectations and clarifies what the school can offer.
2. Receive program details and assess fit. Staff will share information about the DK Schoolhouse approach to learning, curriculum focus, and program structure. Use the Telegram and email updates mentioned in the principal's note to stay informed about timelines, events, and next steps. This channel also helps you understand engagement requirements (e.g., communications cadence).
3. Submit registration/enrollment materials. The principal references a registration process, so families should expect to submit the required forms and documents as part of progressing through admissions. Ensure you provide any requested personal, academic, and contact information to move the application forward.
4. Schedule any necessary meetings or assessments. The site does not publish a formal assessment policy, but many international schools arrange short family meetings or informal observations as part of the process. Be prepared to participate in a discussion about your child's needs and to answer questions related to learning goals and routine.
5. Receive a decision and confirm enrollment. After the review of materials and any discussions, the school would communicate an acceptance decision or the next steps to finalize enrollment. Enrollment typically involves confirming placement and completing any contract or registration agreements provided by the school.
6. Onboard and begin the program. Once enrolled, families generally receive onboarding information and ongoing communications through Telegram and email as part of regular updates. This helps families prepare for start dates, supply lists, and initial orientation activities.
