Curriculum and academics
Dulwich follows the British curriculum through the junior and senior school, with students taking IGCSE around Year 11, then the IB Diploma in the final two years rather than A Level. This British to IB pathway is shared by several leading Singapore schools and suits families who want a familiar English curriculum lower down the school with a broad qualification at the end. English is the language of instruction, with Mandarin Chinese taught throughout.
The college places particular emphasis on the arts, music and sport alongside academics. To weigh it against the rest of the field, use the British curriculum schools in Singapore hub and ask the school for its recent IGCSE and IB Diploma outcomes.

Admissions
Admission is by application and assessment, with the main intake in August and additional entry points where places exist. Families provide recent reports and references, and applicants complete age appropriate assessments. Note that international schools in Singapore are primarily intended for expatriate and foreign passport holding families.
Popular year groups fill early, so applying six to twelve months ahead is wise, particularly for entry into the senior school and the IB Diploma.
