The Admissions Office is open Sunday through Thursday from 8:30 am-1:30 pm and will be pleased to answer any inquiries. DIS accepts applications for students from Kindergarten to Grade 12. All students whose mother tongue is not English may be evaluated by Admissions staff, the Stage Principal and / or Stage Supervisor prior to placement to ensure a successful integration into the standard classroom. Parents of children with mild learning disabilities must apply directly to the Admissions Office. All relevant information will be collected and evaluated to best facilitate the individual learning needs of your child.
