German School Kuala Lumpur

1. Consider a Campus Tour or Meeting. This can be a valuable opportunity to experience the school environment and ask specific questions in person.

2. Submit the Application Form and Supporting Documents. Parents will need to complete the school's application form and gather a set of required documents. These typically include copies of the student's passport and visa (submitted after admission), parents' passports, current school certificates, and potentially a school career recommendation letter. For students aiming for the German International Abitur (DIA), evidence of foreign language acquisition may be needed.

3. Undergo Entry Evaluation (if applicable). While DSKL states that entry evaluations are not always required, they may be necessary in certain cases, such as a change of school system. These evaluations can include language and mathematics tests, which help the school determine the appropriate placement for the student.

4. Receive Admission Decision and Register. Once the application and any necessary assessments are complete, the school will notify parents of the admission decision. If an offer of admission is extended, parents will need to confirm enrollment within a stipulated timeframe by submitting required documents and making initial payments.

DSKL operates a waitlist system for some classes. If a particular year group is full, qualified applicants will be placed on a waiting list. An offer of a place will be extended to students on the waitlist as soon as a spot becomes available, at the school's discretion.

The German School Kuala Lumpur offers scholarships for its "Guest Student Program," specifically for motivated students from Germany.

These scholarships, which can be full or partial, are awarded to applicants for the two-year upper school residency (Secondary II) leading to the Abitur, and also for Year 10 students aspiring to the intermediate school leaving certificate or transfer to the qualification phase.

Eligibility and application deadlines are specified for each academic year, and applicants are generally required to submit an admission form, academic testimonials, a handwritten CV, a personal explanation about their motivation, and an English-language introduction.
