Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Arrange a visit or attend an open day.
DBS offers optional school tours and open house sessions for prospective families to explore the campus and ask questions.
2. Submit registration and assessment.
Parents complete an application form, pay the application fee, and register for an age-appropriate assessment or trial day based on the student’s age.
3. Receive offer and deposit.
Once a place is offered, parents pay a non‑refundable admissions/reservation fee and a refundable acceptance deposit.
4. Confirm enrolment.
After accepting the offer and paying all required fees, parents will receive term calendars, uniform details, and information about joining in the new academic year.
DBS operates a waiting list system. A reservation fee is paid to hold a place once placed on the list. If a spot becomes available within 12 months of placement and the student passes the assessment, the fee becomes the admissions fee. If no place is available within 12 months, the reservation fee is refunded.
Academic Scholarship, Sports, Music, Leadership, and Innovation Scholarships are available from Year 5 or Year 7 depending on the category, and are awarded based on ability and contribution in the relevant field. Scholars receive mentoring, development funding, and are expected to serve as school ambassadors.
