Admission Guidelines: DKIS accepts applications throughout the school year. An appointment will be scheduled at DKIS or as a video conference call at a mutually convenient time. The following documentation is necessary for all students applying to attend Danila Kumar International School: a completed application form to attend the International Kindergarten, Primary or Middle Years programme; the child's academic records from their previous school year, translated into English if necessary. Kindergarten students may be exempt from this requirement; a photocopy of the student's passport or identity card displaying their photo; psychoeducational assessment if necessary. Applications will not be considered complete until all documentation has been submitted. If necessary, families may be asked to provide further supporting documentation to help facilitate the admission process. The Admission Committee will review the application promptly and provide feedback. Applicants who meet the admission criteria will be invited for an interview at DKIS or via video conference. The Admissions Committee will then review the interview. The decision will be communicated to families via e-mail. Accepted students will be offered a conditional place in the grade level they applied for. During the first three months of enrolment, the DKIS team will monitor language acquisition, academic development and social-emotional issues. DKIS reserves the right to revoke admission at any time during the first three months of enrolment if the team determines that the student requires more support than the DKIS programme can provide. Students placed on the waiting list will be offered a conditional place in their relevant grade level when openings become available. Students who are not accepted will not be offered a place in the grade level they applied for. To complete the admission, the school must receive one month's school fees which is held by the school as a deposit to cover the last month of the school year or the last month of the child's attendance fee, should they leave during the school year. If the candidate fails to join DKIS within two weeks of the agreed time the application will be revoked. Upon acceptance, families must sign the DKIS Registration Contract.
