Student placement at DKIS will generally be determined by a student’s academic records from the previous school year, indicating the completed grade. However, given that students may be coming from various educational systems with differing curricula and grade structures, some students may be placed in the same grade level to ensure proper academic alignment and social development.
Placement decisions will be made in the best possible interest of the student and may consider factors such as age, previous curriculum, and overall academic readiness. A trial period of 2 to 4 weeks will follow initial placement, during which the student’s progress will be closely monitored. Placement may be adjusted, if necessary, following consultation with parents, teachers, and the school leadership.
The school fee covers all expenses including the use of schoolbooks, photocopies, stationery, accident insurance, and for grade 1-8 students, also tickets for performances, excursions (transportation and entrance fees) and extracurricular activities.A discount is available if payment is made in full at the beginning of the school year.
