What your child’s visit looks like.
Not an entrance test. Our educators observe how your child communicates, explores, follows simple instructions and engages with activities, to understand their developmental stage.
Designed to feel like a classroom. Storytelling, guided conversation and hands-on activities, taught and assessed in English, Mathematics and Language.
In English, Mathematics and Language. Portions are shared in advance so children can prepare. Senior-grade admissions are subject to vacancy and academic review.
Families already part of the Darwin community skip the Discovery Tour and go straight to Step III. We believe admission works best when the child, the family and the school are aligned.
See our classrooms and learning environments.
An in-depth look at our philosophy, programmes and campus, for parents and prospective students. Included with the application fee.
