In Brief
Dulwich College Singapore is a prestigious British international school founded in 2014, serving over 2,900 students from ages 2-18 in a modern Jurong West campus. Drawing on the 405-year heritage of Dulwich College London, it offers rigorous British curriculum education with early IGCSE preparation and strong Mandarin immersion, distinguished by Singapore's first net-zero energy school building.
Operating under Principal Nick Magnus and owned by Education in Motion, DCSG divides into three sections: DUCKS (ages 2-7) following Early Years Foundation Stage, Junior School (ages 7-11) using English National Curriculum with inquiry-based learning, and Senior School (ages 11-18). The school begins IGCSE studies in Year 9, one year earlier than many competitors, allowing deeper preparation across core subjects including mathematics, English literature and language, and separate sciences. Students select from French, German, or Spanish as modern languages while continuing Mandarin studies throughout their education.
The school's Jurong West campus features The Greenhouse, Singapore's first international school net-zero energy building, which earned Green Mark Platinum Zero Energy certification and the Building and Construction Authority Project of the Year Award 2024. This sustainability focus aligns with the school's modern approach while maintaining Dulwich College traditions of academic rigour and community service. Recent recognition includes the 2024 TES International Schools Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Award for student-led initiatives, highlighting the school's commitment to contemporary educational values alongside its British heritage.
