School Overview
Dulwich College (Singapore) is an independent, British international school that opened in 2014 on a purpose-built campus at 71 Bukit Batok West Avenue 8. It is a branch of Dulwich College International, the network that carries the name and traditions of the historic Dulwich College in London, which was founded in 1619 by the actor-manager Edward Alleyn. The Singapore college is its own school for its own students — the 1619 founding belongs to the London parent, while the Singapore campus dates from 2014 — but it draws on that long English heritage in its houses, ethos, and approach to a broad, balanced education.
The College serves students aged 2 to 18 and is organised into three sections: DUCKS (the early years), the Junior School, and the Senior School. It is an IB World School and a member of FOBISIA, the Federation of British International Schools in Asia, and is accredited locally by EduTrust. With a teaching staff of around 300 and a roll of roughly 2,500 students, Dulwich offers a full international pathway from nursery age through to the International Baccalaureate Diploma. Its four houses — Earhart, Lee, Mandela, and Shackleton — are named after figures associated with courage and achievement, and shape much of the pastoral and co-curricular life of the school.
Curriculum and the IB Pathway
Dulwich College (Singapore) follows the English National Curriculum through the early years and into the Senior School, where students work towards the IGCSE before progressing to the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in their final two years. This is a genuinely international pathway and differs from the Singapore MOE syllabus in both content and assessment: there is no PSLE, no O-Level, and no Singapore-Cambridge SEC examination. The College's youngest pupils, from ages 2 to 7, are taught bilingually in English and Chinese, and daily Chinese classes continue for students in Years 3 to 8, reflecting the school's location and its commitment to language learning.
Mathematics in the Diploma years is taken as one of two routes — Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches or Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation — each offered at Standard or Higher Level, and the choice shapes a student's options in fields such as engineering, economics, and the sciences. Because the IB Mathematics syllabus moves at a different pace and covers different material from the local curriculum, some families look for support matched specifically to the IB rather than to O-Level or A-Level preparation. DeepThink, a specialist mathematics tuition centre, runs small-group classes aligned to the IB Mathematics curriculum, including both the Analysis and Approaches and Applications and Interpretation routes, which some Dulwich families find useful for consolidating understanding ahead of the Diploma years.
Admissions
Admission to Dulwich College (Singapore) is by application directly to the school rather than through Singapore's PSLE posting exercise or the Direct School Admission scheme, which apply only to local MOE schools. As an international school admitting students from nursery age through to the Diploma years, the College considers each child's readiness and fit alongside the availability of places in the relevant year group, and entry points run across DUCKS, the Junior School, and the Senior School.
Under Singapore government policy, local citizens generally require approval to enrol in an international school, so the student body is drawn largely from expatriate and internationally mobile families. Prospective families are encouraged to begin the application process well ahead of their intended start date, as demand for places at popular entry points can be high. The specific entry requirements, assessment steps, and current fees are published by the College's admissions office, which is the authoritative source for applicants.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The Bukit Batok campus is large and purpose-built, bringing together the early years, Junior, and Senior sections alongside extensive shared facilities for sport, the arts, and academic study. A performing arts centre completed in 2018 includes a 742-seat theatre, two black box theatres, suites of music and art rooms, and a pipe organ that is among the largest in Singapore. An IB centre added in the early 2020s provides quiet study areas and a large common room for senior students. Sports facilities include three swimming pools, two gymnasiums, a multi-purpose pitch, a dance studio, a fitness centre, and cricket nets.
Music and the performing arts have a particular emphasis: Junior School students are introduced to a string instrument before being given the opportunity to move to a wind or brass instrument later on. Alongside these specialist facilities, the College supports a broad co-curricular programme spanning sport, the creative arts, and a range of clubs and activities, giving students opportunities to develop interests beyond the classroom across all three sections of the school.
School Community and Culture
Dulwich College (Singapore) brings together a highly international community of families and staff, and its culture draws on the traditions of the historic Dulwich College in London while being firmly rooted in its own Singapore campus. The four houses — Earhart, Lee, Mandela, and Shackleton — give structure to pastoral care, friendly competition, and a sense of belonging, and the College places weight on character, breadth, and individual support as much as on academic results.
For many families, joining Dulwich also means navigating a move to Singapore and, for older students, a change of curriculum at the same time, and the step into the IGCSE and IB pathways can take some settling. Mathematics is a subject where a smooth transition matters, because the IB approach can differ noticeably from a student's previous system. DeepThink's small-group IB Mathematics classes, which follow the IB curriculum rather than the local syllabus, are one option that some families in the Dulwich community use to help their children build confidence during this transition and through the Diploma years.

The Bukit Batok campus has strong facilities for the arts and sport, including a performing arts centre with a 742-seat theatre, black box theatres, music and art rooms, and one of the largest pipe organs in Singapore, along with three swimming pools, two gymnasiums, a multi-purpose pitch, a dance studio, a fitness centre, and cricket nets. Music is a particular strength, with Junior School students introduced to a string instrument before being able to move to a wind or brass instrument, and the College runs a broad co-curricular programme across sport, the arts, and clubs.
Are lessons at Dulwich College (Singapore) bilingual?
In the early years, yes. Students from ages 2 to 7 are taught bilingually in English and Chinese, and daily Chinese classes continue for students in Years 3 to 8. Beyond these years the curriculum is taught in English, following the English National Curriculum and then the IGCSE and IB Diploma.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Which Math class suits a Dulwich College (Singapore) student?
The relevant pathways are IB pathway. We use the student's current Mathematics course, year and schoolwork to choose a class. Students learn with others studying the same course at a suitable pace.
Are secondary IB-pathway lessons the same as IB Diploma lessons?
The secondary years build towards the Diploma. Schools may use their own pre-IB course, MYP or IGCSE, with different topic sequences and assessments. These secondary course links cover the years before the Diploma; share the actual school course and year so we can confirm the right fit.
When should a secondary student start tuition?
Start when schoolwork reveals gaps in understanding or confidence. Earlier support can strengthen algebra and problem-solving foundations; students joining later can focus on their current topics and assessments.
What makes DeepThink different for Dulwich College (Singapore) students?
Small classes, teaching matched to the student's actual Mathematics course, and practice that develops clear working as well as correct answers. Parents are kept informed about progress and areas needing more practice.
How many students are in each class?
Four, at most. Students are grouped by learning pace, not just by year level, so each lesson moves at the speed of the students actually in it. When no session matches a child’s pace, we open a new one. In a class that size, every child answers questions, gets their working checked, and gets help the moment they need it.
Can families start with a trial class first?
Yes. A trial class helps you see whether our teaching pace and approach suit your child’s learning needs. Trials in existing classes are free. A dedicated trial session at a different timeslot is offered at a subsidised rate of $30. We’ll help you explore the available options.
