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

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.

We aim to ensure your admissions journey is a positive experience. Please find the steps involved below:

STEP 1: Start your admissions journey

You are invited to start your admissions journey in one of the following ways:

• Submit your registration of interest. We will contact you to talk you through next steps and/or arrange an individual tour if you are unable to attend one of our Open House events.

• Register for an Open House. These take place at 9.30am most Wednesdays. You will have an opportunity to hear from and meet our Head of College and other academic team members, and receive a tour of the campus.

STEP 2: Make an Application

Once you are sure that Dulwich College (Singapore) is the right fit for your family, you can submit your formal application via our Admissions Portal.

After submitting your application, a non-refundable SGD $1000 Application Fee (SGD $1,500 from 1 August 2025) must be paid in order to proceed with the application.

Once the application process has begun, one of our Admissions Officers will reach out to support you in the completion of your application. At this stage, we will request the contact details for the relevant member of staff at your child/ren’s current Nursery or School in order to request a reference.

STEP 3: Assessment

Once your application is complete, all applicants entering Term 2 of Year 2 and above will be invited to visit Dulwich College (Singapore) for an assessment. For overseas applicants, alternative assessment arrangements can be agreed with our Admissions team on a case-by-case basis.

STEP 4: Assessment Outcome

Following the assessment, your application will be reviewed by our academic team and the outcome shared according to following timeframes:

Please note: An application is considered completed when the application fee has been paid, all required documentation has been uploaded, and your child has been assessed. Applications may still be submitted and completed after the deadline, and the College will endeavour to provide an outcome as soon as possible. However, it is possible that the outcome timeline as indicated above may not be met for these applications.

Whilst the College will endeavour to provide an application outcome to all applications completed prior to the timelines provided, the College reserves the right to withhold an outcome until any additional criteria have been satisfied.

Applicants who complete their application by 31 October will receive a response to their application by the end of November. Those who do not receive an offer of a place in November will remain in the applicant pool and will receive the outcome to their application in March. At this point we will share one of three outcomes:

1. The offer of a place;

2. Confirmation that your application has been successful but due to lack of guaranteed availability at the current time it has been rolled over to the applicant pool in the next academic year. These applicants will receive an offer as and when places become available in the meantime;

3. Confirmation that an application has been unsuccessful. Unsuccessful applicants may reapply the following year;

As always, our Admissions team is available to answer any questions you may have. For further support, please contact us at +65 6890 1000 or by emailing [email protected].

We look forward to meeting you and supporting your application to Dulwich College (Singapore).
