TLDR : Answer Summary

they may NOT be able to attend international school on a DTV and depending on the school you may have to get them the ED visa to attend. SOME international schools I know of make the students be on ED visas (can't attend on overstay, or tourist visa, etc)

so you got DTV for your children too right? (as family of the primary visa holder) ?

All you can do is ask the school and see what they say, they control that part

Please see with your school consultant. Some international school provide ED visa for kids.

Some might accept to let study with DTV visa.
