Choosing the right school is a pivotal decision for any parent. We invite you to experience life at Dome International School (DIS) to see the unrivaled learning environment for yourself.
The admissions process at DIS emphasizes early application due to limited space and focuses on a holistic evaluation of each applicant’s potential.
Here are the key steps in the admissions process for DIS:
1. School Tour
Families are strongly encouraged to visit the campus to tour the facilities and meet with admissions staff and Stage Heads for details regarding our academic and activities programs.
While there are no specific application deadlines, initiating the process early is highly recommended. Applications are accepted year-round, and place offers are granted based on the availability of spaces. You can register for a tour using the online registration form.
2. Application and Required Documents
Along with the completed student application form, prospective families will be asked to provide certain supporting documents required for the application to be considered complete.
3. Admissions Decisions
Admissions decisions are made after a careful and thorough evaluation of all candidates. The school considers a range of criteria on a case-by-case basis. Key factors include:
- Results from Assessments: Prospective students are required to sit for an admission test in English and Math, an IQ test, and a behavioral/psychological assessment.
- For kindergarten applicants, a readiness checklist and IQ test are used to determine developmental milestones.
- Test scores are discussed with parents on the same day.
- Accepted students should score at least 70% in English and Math tests to ensure the academic program matches their level.
- Previous School Records
- Interview with School Director
Once a candidate is accepted and the required fees have been paid, a place for the student is officially reserved. Accepted students will also take a placement test in the second language (French or German) to determine their appropriate level and any support needed.
