“Fantastic school. Made a lot of great friends and some of my best memories from school. Really wish I could go back.”

Yoona
“DSK International always made me feel like I was at home, and all my friends and everyone in school were like my family. It was a very comfortable place to be, and I was always excited to go to school. Also, because it is a small school, I was able to ask questions to my teachers easily which helped me learn a lot.”

Dianne
“DSKI is such an inspirational school to learn in. I have so much to say, but what I would like to emphasize the most is how the teachers support children to be independent learners through a class called the unit of inquiry. The significance of this teaching style is that children are very motivated and excited to learn, develop knowledge, come up with ideas and seek for solutions.”

Our Programmes
DSK International offers three programmes for learners ages 2-11: Playgroup, Early Years and Primary Years Programme (PYP).
