The following describes the procedure of admission into kindergarten and pre-school of DBSAA.

1. Affiliation to an appropriate group of people relating to the profile of the school

Students with high affinity to the German language and culture will be admitted to DBSAA.
This is proven by:

1. Children with German, Swiss or Austrian passports (or other German-speaking countries) or children who are German native speakers
2. Children with at least one German parent
3. Children of alumni
4. Children who at least spent a year in Germany
5. Children with adequate German language proficiency
6. Children who switch from a kindergarten or pre-school of another DAS, DPS or DSD school
7. Children whose siblings are already enrolled at DBSAA

Exempt are students who, due to physical and social-emotional disorders or rather conspicuousness, cannot be adequately instructed at DBSAA (e.g. blind students).

As long as capacities are at hand, children whose parents have sufficient knowledge of the German language or whose parents work for a German employer can be admitted.

Only in exceptional cases (e.g. when parents can prove that they have to relocate to Germany due to work) can other children also be considered for admission.

2. Age
In general, a child can be admitted if it has reached the age of 3 until June 30 of the enrollment year – „Possible“-children until October 31.

3. Admission discussion/contract
