Admissions Process

DMC is experiencing growing enrollment. With a large number of prospective students each year, the number of applicants can exceed the number of seats available, making this a highly competitive process. To be invited to apply, you must first submit an inquiry for your student.  

Step 1: Complete an Inquiry

Tell us more about your student and family by completing an Inquiry Form for every student in your family. We are accepting Inquiries for all grade levels through the 29-30 school year.  The child’s full name and birthdate are needed to accept your Inquiry.  There is no fee and no obligation to enroll. Completing an Inquiry does not guarantee enrollment. 

Our Admissions office will follow up with you after your Inquiry is received.

Step 2: Apply to DMC 

The admissions process begins in September 2024 for the 25-26 school year. Students with submitted inquiries may be invited to begin the admissions process by completing a comprehensive checklist. The checklist includes the application, nonrefundable $50 application fee per student, academic records, and teacher references.  Applications will be offered for grades with availability for the upcoming school year. Applicants must meet the deadlines communicated by the Admissions team. 

Step 3: Visit the School 

Students who advance in the process will be invited to visit the school. Your visit will include opportunities to connect with other students and teachers.

Middle and High School students will attend a scheduled Shadow Day with other prospective applicants. Applicants will spend a morning attending classes, chapel, and lunch with a student ambassador. We can't wait to show you around DMC!

Step 4: Interview with your Division Head of School (Principal) 

Our heads of school look forward to meeting with parents and students together. During this 30 to 60 minute interview, we hope to learn more about your family, assess if DMC can meet the learning needs of your child, and answer your questions.  

Step 5: Enroll

Students who meet all of our Admissions Criteria will be offered a contract for enrollment when a seat becomes available. Priority status is given to siblings of an enrolled student, children of full-time staff members, and children of alumni.

Step 6: Welcome to DMC

We're excited to connect you with the DMC community! You will receive invitations to new family events and school activities. Student and family ambassadors help navigate your first year at DMC.
