Admissions Policy
DCS welcomes qualified applicants with a variety of talents, interests, and perspectives, regardless of race, religion, gender, creed or nationality.
Our Admissions Office accepts applications for admission on a continuous basis throughout the year, however, we suggest applying as soon as possible since we have limited availability.
Our admission process is holistic, which means we look at each aspect of your child’s application.
Admission is granted based on the level of preparedness demonstrated by the student to perform successfully in our program and the availability of vacancies.
Good grades and high test scores alone do not guarantee admission to DelCampo School. Moral character and behaviour are as important as academic achievement.
We seek students who:
Are respectful to others,
Are hardworking and determined individuals,
Have a record of good academic standing,
Have a record of good conduct,
Are motivated and enthusiastic about learning,
Will contribute to and benefit from the stimulating academic environment DCS offers,
Whose qualities can enrich our DCS community.
We also seek parents that are committed to DCS vision, mission, student profile and values.
Admission’s priority is given to students of DelCampo School faculty and staff, siblings of currently enrolled DCS students, children of DCS alumni, and international students.
