Dulwich College

Dulwich College (Singapore) blends the heritage of its London founding school with a forward-looking, international outlook. Across its DUCKS, Junior, and Senior Schools, students benefit from small-school communities and an individualised learning approach that supports academic progress and wellbeing. The College is known for its strong commitment to inclusion—recognised with the 2024 TES International School of the Year award for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion—and offers full boarding for students in Years 12 and 13 through its partnership with ACS Oldham Hall. The five-hectare Bukit Batok campus stands out for its scale and purpose-built design. Students learn in spaces that include three libraries, multiple theatres, a performing arts centre, swimming pools, extensive sports fields, gymnasiums, rooftop gardens, and a dedicated forest school. The Greenhouse—a seven-storey innovation hub—adds specialist STEAM workshops, professional teaching kitchens, media studios, black box theatres, computer labs, and a two-storey IB library. Built as a net-zero, Green Mark Platinum facility, it anchors the school’s future-ready academic pathways. Altogether, the environment is designed to develop students intellectually, socially, and physically, with easy access from major residential areas across Singapore.

Academic Excellence

At Dulwich College Singapore, learning is designed as a continuous journey that supports each stage of a child’s growth from the Early Years to pre-university. In DUCKS (Ages 2–7), children learn in a warm, purpose-built environment inspired by the UK Early Years Foundation Stage. Playful exploration, early academic foundations, and strong pastoral care help every child feel happy, safe, and confident as they begin their schooling adventure. In the Junior School (Years 3–6, ages 7–11), students build on these foundations within a nurturing setting that encourages curiosity, resilience, and a love of learning. With banded learning in mathematics and Mandarin, a broad and balanced curriculum, and a gradual introduction to specialist teaching in Year 6, children grow as independent thinkers ready for the transition to Senior School. In the Lower and Middle Senior School (Years 7–11, ages 11–16), learning broadens and deepens through a rich selection of subjects tailored to an international context. Strong pastoral guidance and an engaging mix of academic study, creative arts, languages, and wellbeing help students develop confidence, character, and a strong sense of belonging. By Years 9–11, students begin their three-year journey toward (I)GCSE qualifications, supported by expert teachers and a culture of academic ambition. In the Upper Senior School (Years 12–13, ages 16–18), students personalise their pathways by choosing between the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme or the IB Career-related Programme. Both routes emphasise the IB Approaches to Learning skills—encouraging research, collaboration, and critical thinking—while preparing students for leading universities around the world. Dulwich graduates leave as confident, globally minded young adults ready to thrive in their next steps.

Beyond Classroom

At Dulwich, co-curricular life isn’t an add-on — it’s a core part of the student experience. Each term, the school refreshes its offerings, adding new activities while keeping long-standing favourites that students return to year after year. Across its three Singapore campuses, Dulwich now runs more than 300 CCAs, giving every child room to explore their interests in depth. The range is unusually broad. Students can immerse themselves in coding, robotics, debating, journalism, engineering, languages, chess, book clubs, pottery, songwriting, or sustainability initiatives. There are opportunities for both creative expression and academic stretch, including university prep societies, game design, and hands-on clubs like Lego Masters or medical and veterinary prep. Younger children find community in groups such as Cubs, Guides, and Brownies, while adventurous learners can take on PADI diving or horse riding. Sport is a major strength. Dulwich fields over 275 competitive teams across football, rugby, touch rugby, netball, basketball, badminton, tennis, athletics, cricket, hockey, swimming, and more. As one of Asia’s leading sports schools, it offers pathways into high-calibre competitions including the Dulwich Games, Dulwich Olympiad, ACSIS, and FOBISIA, giving students experience on regional and international stages. A distinctive feature of Dulwich’s programme is its partnership model. The school collaborates with respected practitioners and institutions through initiatives such as the Diversity Arts Series, the Royal Shakespeare Company, and the Royal Northern College of Music. These partnerships expose students to real-world expertise and elevate the quality of their learning experiences. For parents, the appeal is clear: Dulwich provides an environment where children can discover their strengths, work with professionals, compete at high levels, and build confidence beyond the classroom — all within a thoughtfully curated, ever-evolving CCA ecosystem.
