Colin Jenkins presented the strategy of teacher and student recruitment for DIS. The school will open its doors to its first students in September 2014 and, at full capacity, will be able to admit 650 students from at least 60 countries. The student admission process for will be organized through the UWC International Office with its network of over 140 national committees worldwide.
