Dulwich College Singapore Senior School is the secondary stage of Dulwich College Singapore, the British international school in Bukit Batok that opened in 2014. The Senior School covers Years 7 to 13, students aged about 11 to 18, taking them from the start of secondary through Cambridge IGCSE and into the IB Diploma in the sixth form. Like the rest of the college in Singapore, it sits in the premium fee tier, with the sixth form the most expensive stage. For families deciding where a child will sit public examinations and apply to university, this is the part of the college that matters most.

Curriculum and academics
The Senior School opens with an enhanced English National Curriculum through the lower secondary years, then moves into Cambridge IGCSE in Years 9 to 11. The sixth form, Years 12 and 13, runs the IB Diploma, with an IB Career related Programme available for students who want a more applied route into higher education. That two stage structure, IGCSE followed by the IB Diploma, is the academic spine of the college and the reason families weighing the British and IB pathways often shortlist it.
The college emphasises a broad academic and co academic offer alongside the formal qualifications, with strong music, sport and the arts, and a sixth form geared toward selective university entry, including applicants to Oxford, Cambridge and medicine in recent years. Boarding is available for older students through a partnership arrangement, which can suit families who are mobile or based out of the city. For the cost context, our Singapore international school fees guide sets out the premium band in full. As always, ask for the latest published Diploma cohort results directly.

Dulwich College Singapore Senior School fees
The Senior School sits at the upper end of the premium band for Singapore. Our Singapore international school fees guide places the city's premium tier at roughly SGD 48,000 to 65,000 a year and names Dulwich within it, with tuition rising through the school so that the sixth form reaches the top of that range. The senior and sixth form years are among the most expensive in the city, in line with the other established premium internationals.
Beyond tuition, senior families should budget for the fullest set of additional costs, a non refundable application fee, a registration fee, a refundable deposit, possible building or facility charges and optional bus and boarding fees. Because premium tuition tends to rise ahead of inflation and climbs through the school, model the full secondary and sixth form span rather than a single year.
Admissions
The academic year runs from August, and the main intake follows it, with rolling entry into the senior years where places allow. Admission involves an application with school reports, an age appropriate assessment and, for older students, a review of prior study and subject choices. Entry at the start of Year 7 and into the sixth form are the points families plan around most.
Sixth form entry into the IB Diploma or Career related Programme is the most selective stage and depends on prior attainment and the subjects a student wants to take, so confirm availability and the entry requirements before accepting a place. Boarding places are limited and arranged separately through the college's partnership.
Location and who goes there
The Senior School shares the Dulwich College Singapore campus in Bukit Batok West, in the west central part of the island, on a purpose built site designed for an all through school from age two to eighteen. The college runs an extensive bus network and reports that most major residential areas are within 15 to 25 minutes, which widens the practical catchment well beyond the immediate neighbourhood. The community is internationally mixed with a strong British and wider European presence, reflecting the college's heritage, and senior families often value the continuity of a single campus through to the end of the sixth form.
