Questions to ask the school
- Is an educational psychologist on staff or available by referral?
- Can you support a child with my child's specific need (e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, autism), and have you done so this year? Ask for concrete examples.
- Is there an additional fee for learning support or EAL — and how much per year?
- Is learning support guaranteed for the full enrolment, or can it be withdrawn later?
IB, Other
Our students complete a variety of external examinations and assessments depending on their grade level and academic program. For the Middle Years Programme (MYP), students participate in the MYP eAssessment, which evaluates their skills through a combination of on-screen examinations, portfolios, and personal projects. Students in the Diploma Programme (DP) take the globally recognised International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma exams, which assess their knowledge and understanding across multiple subjects. These assessments are internationally benchmarked and prepare students for university entrance and future academic success. We also incorporate other standardised tests where appropriate, such as language proficiency exams, to measure progress and ensure students are meeting global academic standards.
Discover School students consistently achieve strong results in their external examinations. In all exams, they demonstrate solid performance, with many achieving above-average scores across all subject areas, reflecting their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. We are proud of their academic achievements and their ability to excel in these challenging examinations.

While Discover School strives to create an inclusive environment for all students, our current setup does not offer specialised therapy services and one-to-one learning support for children with special learning needs.
For students who are not yet fluent in the language of instruction, our school provides tailored extra language classes to ensure they thrive academically and socially. These classes focus on developing essential language skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—while also helping students integrate more confidently into classroom activities and everyday school life. Our goal is to support students in building fluency, allowing them to fully engage with the curriculum and participate in the school community.
