Students ... Student Application

1. Complete the Student Application form, include a recent photo, and submit them to the school with the application fee of RM 250. Follow the instructions for having the supplementary forms completed and sent to the school (Teacher Reference Form, Principal/Counselor Reference Form, Student Health Form, Physical Evaluation).
2. For those applying to the boarding program, complete the Boarding Application. Send a photocopy of the picture page of the father’s passport, a copy of the student’s birth certificate, and four photos for the student visa.
3. Ask your son’s or daughter’s current school to issue a complete transcript (for high school) or school records (for middle school and elementary)  with most recent grades and have it sent to Dalat.
4. If transferring from a North American school, submit a copy of your child’s most recent standardized test scores and any individualized educational plan.

Depending on your son’s or daughter’s written and verbal abilities in English, he or she may need to take an English language exam which is administered on our campus prior to admission. If your child is transferring from a non-English speaking educational system (such as Taiwan, Korea, Japan or Thailand), he or she may need to sit for additional exams that will help us determine his or her appropriate grade level.

Students are accepted under the following conditions:

• Space is available.
• The program needed by the student is available in the school.
• The students’ previous school records meet the academic requirements for admittance.
• The results of an English language exam meet the school requirements and programs available.
• The parent and the student indicate that the Bible classes and the chapel services will not be a problem for them and agree with the compulsory attendance regulation.
• The results of an interview, if deemed necessary, between the director or the principal and the parent and student are satisfactory.
• The student has a non-Malaysian passport in compliance with the regulation of the Ministry of Education. Students with a Malaysian passport must receive permission from the Ministry of Education.
• Students entering preschool must be three years of age before September 30, and first graders must be six years of age before September 30 of the current school year.
• High School students from non-accredited schools will have their credits validated by examination or scholarship performance in Dalat International School. The placement of such students will be on a trial basis until proper validation of the previous credits has been attained.

Priority for boarding space at Dalat International School is given to children whose parents work for organizations which are functioning in harmony with the governing board of the school.
