Preschool through the senior IB years

DIS describes full-day English-taught IB education from age one through Grade 12. Preschool serves ages one to five; Kindergarten and school grades follow at the school campus. The senior programme leads to IB Diploma examinations. Confirm age-based placement and the current senior subject choices, particularly when moving between national and international school systems.

Interview, reports and placement tests

Applications are accepted throughout the year, depending on fit and available places. The checklist includes health information, a language survey, permissions and age-relevant school reports. Applicants meet with parents and the principal and take internal placement tests covering mathematics, English, German and logical thinking. DIS is not a boarding school; overseas applicants must live locally with a parent or legal guardian.
