Dulwich College International schools are academically selective, co-educational and secular. Since 2003, Dulwich College has established five Colleges for international students in Shanghai, Beijing, Suzhou, Seoul and Singapore, as well as two Dulwich International High Schools in Suzhou and in Zhuhai, primarily for Chinese students wishing to study at university abroad. Under the World Charter, Dulwich College is actively involved at every level of the Dulwich College International schools with collaborative projects between teachers and students, inspections and annual visits from the Master and Deputy Master (External). In August 2016 Dulwich College will open a second international school campus in Shanghai. Dulwich College International (DCI) also oversees the management of a small international primary school in Yangon, Myanmar and is currently building a full through school in the city.
From the time of my first visit to our sister schools in Asia, it has been very natural for me to talk about the family or commonwealth of schools. Dr Joseph Spence, Master, Dulwich College
OUR STORY OUR HERITAGE Dulwich College was founded in 1619 by Edward Alleyn, renowned Jacobean actor. It is one of the UK’s most prestigious independent schools and in 1996 became the first UK independent school to open a campus overseas. Dulwich College acts as educational advisor to Dulwich College International and now has the largest overseas network of any of the British independent schools. The Dulwich Olympiad brought students from all the schools across the Dulwich network together in April 2015. The entire Dulwich family will come together for second Olympiad in London in 2019, coinciding with the founding school’s quadricentennial.
OUR STUDENTS Dulwich College International schools now cater for over 6,000 students from 2 to 18 years old. Over 60 different nationalities are represented in our diverse student body. OUR STAFF DCI employs over 1,300 talented staff from across the globe, over half of whom are teachers. We offer staff career progression within the Dulwich family of schools. On opening, more than one third of the staff at Dulwich College in Singapore had transferred from another DCI school or the founding College in London.
A good education does not have boundaries. It allows students and teachers to explore new ideas. It allows them to fail and ultimately leads them to success. Brian McDouall, Director of Schools for DCI

OUR STORY OUR CURRICULUM The international Colleges offer an enhanced English National Curriculum leading to IGCSE and, where accredited, the IB Diploma Programme. The two Dulwich International High Schools offer 3 or 4-year IGCSE and A-level courses. In all DCI schools the primary language of instruction is English with a Dual Language learning in English and Mandarin for students from age 2 to 7 in the international Colleges in Shanghai, Beijing, Suzhou and Singapore. The DCI schools offer ‘English as an Additional Language‘ support for a percentage of students who are non-native English speakers. Our approach to education blends the best approaches from Eastern and Western traditions; firmly rooted in academic rigour yet invested in developing the individual. The Dulwich family of schools report academic results that position them as some of the best performing schools locally, regionally, and internationally. Our students’ achievements are reflected in the university acceptances and scholarships that graduates receive every year.
