Enquiry

Prospective families are invited to email us using the enquiry form on our website.

Registration of Interest

We will respond to the enquiry via email and invite you to arrange a visit at a mutually convenient time. We will also invite you to complete a registration form to formalise your interest in applying to Durham International School

Assessment Invitation

Following registration, prospective students will be invited to sit an age-appropriate assessment to evaluate their academic and personal aptitudes. This may be completed during your visit with your child, depending on their age. This step involves a non-refundable assessment fee of USD 50. Students already at Durham International School have automatic entry into the next Year Group.

Offer of Admission

Successful candidates will receive an official offer of a place at Durham International School. The offer letter will confirm the start date and Year Group and will include information on accepting the place and further joining details.

Acceptance of Offer

Families who wish to accept the offer must confirm their place by completing the Acceptance of a Place form and paying an Acceptance Fee of USD 350, along with a Security Deposit (which will be refunded at the end of your child’s time at the school, subject to the required notice being given). These payments secure the student’s enrolment.
