Admission Dates

Since we follow a different schedule from other Costa Rican schools we have two different entry dates:  one in late September and one in January.  However, please note that the entry date in January is restricted.

     check The first entry date takes place at the end of September, which marks the start of our academic calendar

      check The second entry date is at the beginning of January (restricted entry)

    Children allowed to start in January must meet one of the following criteria:

      check Children transferring from a Costa Rican public school

      check Scholarship recipients

      check Montessori transferees

Waiting List

We wish all children could be the beneficiaries of our wonderful educational programs. At times, however, the number of applications to DMA exceeds the number of students we can serve.  If this is the case, your child will be placed on a waiting list of applicants.
