Dulwich College (Singapore)
All three girls have attended Dulwich College (Singapore) since it opened in 2014. Prior to moving to Singapore in that same year, we were in South Korea for three years. We also had an earlier stint in Singapore, from 2010 to 2011.
Our experience at Dulwich has been nothing but positive. We feel our children are getting a true education. There’s no focus on rote memorisation of facts, or testing just for the sake of testing. The school challenges our children to make good decisions and to be responsible. The teachers and staff talk to and listen to the students as equals. Their belief in pastoral care and a challenging academic programme has definitely brought out the best in our children.
When we moved to South Korea, we met numerous families who sent their children to Dulwich College Seoul and they all had great things to say. Based on that experience and the recommendation of a friend in Singapore who sent his daughter to Dulwich, we made the choice to enrol them when we arrived here. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dulwich to anyone. The school offers academic rigour and fosters personal responsibility among the students.
Dulwich has amazing facilities, but I believe that as parents, we need to look past the playgrounds, climbing walls, science labs and gymnasiums and talk to the teachers. The teachers are truly what makes a good school great. If the teachers have passion for the school and their students, you’re at the right school. This is how we feel about Dulwich and how I hope every parent in Singapore feels about the school their children
The teachers challenge our children to make good decisions and to be responsible.
