We are very happy to say that we had very positive feedback, describing our staff as having a high level of professionalism and enthusiasm for the school. They were also very impressed with our students level and engagement.
A big thankyou to our Pedagogical Leadership Team who were described as doing significant work to develop the programme, describing the PYP as advanced. They would like DSKI to share how we do this development planning with other IB schools as an example of good practice.
So please be reassured as parents, that we are a very well established and respected IB school!
