The 5th grade is the orientation stage; is informed by the curriculum of the high school with secondary school teaching and textbooks; English is the first foreign language.

This is my child's first year at DISS and so far so good. The principal is understanding to the needs of her children and the teachers are as well. The staff is very helpful with all parenting needs.

My son goes to this school and so far I can tell the progress he is making on both the language Ievel and in terms of discipline and manners. The small number of students ts a huge advantage because it allows teachers to focus and manage individual differences. Moreover, the school has all the needed sports facilities.
