My children do not attend Dallas International School (DIS). Can they still attend your summer program? Certainly, the Summer Enrichment Camp is open to everyone. However, we do have a few camps reserved for DIS students because they focus on academic skills in French.
What is the enrollment deadline?
There is no deadline as such. Generally speaking, applications are accepted until the camps are full. However, we must receive your application at least 48 hours before the scheduled start of the camp you would like your child to attend.
What is the minimum number of weeks I can sign up my child for?
You may enroll your child for as many weeks as you wish. However, we do recommend a minimum of 3 weeks if you choose a language camp.
Do the three weeks have to be consecutive?
No. they do not have to. However, we think it is in the best interest of the children if they are.
If I sign up my child for a full day in, say French, will the afternoon session be a repeat of the morning one?
Our language camps are designed to provide students with a dynamic and engaging learning experience. Each day, our curriculum covers new material that builds upon the previous day's lessons. This means that the topics covered in the afternoon differ from those covered in the morning. Furthermore, our curriculum changes on a weekly basis, enabling new students to join at any time while allowing returning students to continually progress in their language proficiency.
Who are your instructors?
Our instructors are experienced professionals who can be either DIS employees, teachers form other schools or independent providers. We conduct background checks on all camp staff and faculty.
I would like to register my children for an after camp activity that takes place from 4:00 to 5:00pm every day. Do I also have to pay for after camp care?
No. The children enrolled in an after Camp Activity program do not have to pay for after camp care until the activity is over (5pm in this example).
Are lunch and snacks provided?
Lunch is provided at no additional cost for all campers enrolled for the whole day. Snacks are not provided. Make sure to pack one for your child.
What is the dress code?
It is important that our campers wear comfortable clothes that are appropriate for the activity in which they are enrolled. Inappropriate logos are not permitted.
