Find out what’s new at this international school

Dulwich College (Singapore) is a selective school. How do students gain entry and what are your expectations once they are accepted?

Students will take a standardised entry test and need to achieve minimum requirements. Students seeking entry without (I)GCSEs will be asked to take specific subject tests; these are dependent on the subjects they may choose in the IB Diploma.

Our goal and focus is to ensure students achieve more than they think they can. We place a great emphasis on students understanding how they are learning and how to improve. Students will set targets using their own test data, reports and teacher feedback to ensure that they do achieve, and most importantly gain the skills necessary to be successful at further education and beyond. Our emphasis on student wellbeing, alongside individual learning interviews over the two years, will support students and ensure individual success.

Can you give an insight into how extra-curricular activities, which sit alongside IB studies, create all-rounded, balanced students?

Enrichment is important throughout the senior school, and will continue into the IB Diploma with a range of opportunities and activities that focus specifically around leadership. Our aim is to ensure a balance of activities in the areas of Creativity, Activity and Service alongside Academic enrichment. While participation is important, we value more how students reflect upon the impact of these activities on their personal development. As they learn more about themselves, they’ll become more well-rounded citizens who care for the world around them.
