Admission Process

Our admissions team is here to guide you every step of the way, from your initial enquiry to your child's first day at school.

Small Classes, Big Impact

De Marls International Schools maintains a deliberate and firm policy of a maximum of 15 learners per classroom. This is not simply a number it is a commitment to every child who walks through our doors.

Smaller class sizes mean teachers can give each learner personalized attention, track individual progress closely, and provide targeted academic support where it matters most. At De Marls, no child is lost in the crowd.
