How to Apply

Thank you for your interest in Dulwich College (Singapore). We understand that choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you can make as a family, and our Admissions team is here to help guide you through the process.

We accept international students for entry into Toddler through to Year 12. Our application process follows two key application timelines for August 2025:

  • Early applications for August 2025 entry should be submitted by 31 October 2024; and
  • Late applications for August 2025 entry should be submitted by 1 March 2025.

Joining Mid-Year?

In recognition of the unique needs of individual families, we are able to accept and process applications submitted outside of our application timelines, especially for mid-year transfers. Such applications are accepted on a case-by-case basis and subject to the availability of places.

We recommend that all prospective families read the Admissions Criteria and familiarise themselves with our Admissions Policy - both available on our Admissions Overview page - in advance of submitting an application, to ensure eligibility.

Please note: we only accept applications from students with sufficient level of English to be able to access the curriculum. We also expect that at least one parent is fluent in English, to ensure effective communication between the College and the family.
