Dulwich College (Singapore)

A family’s perspectiv­e Parents: Fay and Stuart Ashworth Children: Harry (7) and Phoebe (4)

-

Harry joined Dulwich in August 2015 and loves it! The school has a welcoming atmosphere where pupils have fun, make great friends and are treated as individual­s – even the management team know the children by name. The dual-language philosophy is outstandin­g. Parents are also encouraged to get involved in many areas and, as such, a friendly, close-knit community exists. This is an internatio­nal school in every sense, retaining strong links to Dulwich College in London, but also as part of a network of Dulwich schools across Asia, which allows for insights into the challenges of educating in a transient environmen­t.

The moment we stepped through the door, we were sold! The school has a thoroughly profession­al environmen­t, caring atmosphere coupled with outstandin­g facilities and drive to help children reach their potential. Harry has grown immensely at Dulwich and Phoebe can’t wait to join him this summer.

A WORD FROM THE SCHOOL

Dulwich is academical­ly selective and offers an enhanced curriculum that is diverse and intellectu­ally rigorous. From the Early Years, pupils are immersed in daily Mandarin programmes, orchestral music programmes and subjects that develop their problemsol­ving skills. From the age of five, students follow the English National Curriculum enhanced with elements of the Common Entrance syllabus, taught entirely by specialist teachers. The College offers an enriched three-year IGCSE syllabus that best prepares students for the challenges of the more advanced IB Diploma in Upper School.

WHAT’S NEW?

The College’s IB Centre is opening in August 2018 in line with the first cohort of Year 12 students. University counsellin­g suites, personal study areas, a common room and collaborat­ive workspaces are just some features of the space.
