Dulwich College – Singapore

Dulwich College Singapore is academically selective and follows an enhanced British curriculum adapted for the needs of our international student body. Students follow the IGSCE curriculum in Years 9, 10 and 11 and the IB Diploma Programme in Years 12 and 13. Continuing the tradition of excellence started by the founding school, Dulwich College in London, Dulwich College International graduates go on to study at leading universities in the UK, USA and around the world.

Dulwich College (Singapore) is known for its sporting prowess and has achieved much success in local and regional inter-school competitions. Equally important, is the College’s belief that, whilst still competing at the highest level, all students should have access to sport, regardless of ability – the chance to experience being part of a team, and the great camaraderie and development opportunities that affords.

Students can take part in many sports at Dulwich including football, rugby, touch rugby, netball, basketball, athletics, tennis, badminton, swimming, gymnastics, cricket and hockey. At Dulwich, if 100 students sign up to play football or netball, then we will field as many teams as we need to give everyone the chance to play. As part of the Dulwich College International network, students can be selected to take part in the Dulwich Games and the Dulwich Olympiad and also in external competitions such as those hosted by ACSIS (Athletic Conference of Singapore International Schools), FOBISIA (Federation of British International Schools in Asia) and other prestigious international competitions to ensure students are challenged and given an opportunity at every level.

At Dulwich College (Singapore), sports and academic excellence go hand-in-hand, as students have the option to develop personalised pathways through sport and academic study, linking into their university and future career opportunities. In Senior School, students can elect to study Physical Education as a GCSE option (Years 9 to 11) and also Sports & Exercise Science at IB level (Years 12 to 13).

Underpinning all of our sporting endeavours is the notion of good sportsmanship and fair play, which applies to players, parents and coaches. This is encapsulated in our Dulwich College Singapore initials DCSG: Determined, Courageous, Skilful and Gracious. These behaviours define the individual character traits we nurture and develop through our sports programme.
