Dulwich College (Singapore) Wins at WhichSchoolAdvisor Best School Awards 2024

Dulwich College (Singapore) is honoured to have been recognised with multiple accolades at the prestigious Which School Advisor’s Best Schools Awards (Singapore) 2024. The College proudly clinched the title of Best Primary School, while also receiving Highly Commended honours in two key categories: Best Post-16 Education and Best IB School. These awards are a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class education for all of our students.

Best Primary School

Winning the title of Best Primary School reflects Dulwich College’s outstanding dedication to nurturing young learners in a dynamic, supportive and enriching environment. Our Junior School blends academic rigour with a robust focus on wellbeing, creative arts, and sports, all framed within the traditions of UK independent schooling and adapted to meet the needs of an international community.

Key highlights of our primary education include:

World-class teaching methods

• Inquiry-Based Learning: A curriculum that encourages critical thinking, curiosity, and interdisciplinary connections.
• Specialist Teaching: Expertise in music, art, computing, design technology, dance, drama, and PE from an early stage.

Innovative opportunities for holistic development

• Leadership Opportunities: Roles such as House Captains, School Counsellors, and Head Students foster confidence and responsibility.
• Music programme: All Junior Schooo Students learn orchestral instruments, with many achieving advanced levels during their primary levels.
• Sustainability and Innovation: The Greenhouse, our net-zero building, exemplifies our commitment to creative learning and environmental stewardship.

Dulwich College (Singapore) provides a foundation designed to equip every child with the skillset, knowledge and confidence to carve out a future-ready path for themselves.

Best IB School

Our recognition as Highly Commended in the Best Post-16 Education category is further evidence of the College’s success in setting every student up for success. They need to feel inspired, motivated and given a real-world insight into the opportunities which lie ahead of them. We work incredibly hard to deeply ingrain choice and innovation (through masterclasses, workshops and lectures) within our curriculum.

Key features of our IB Programme:

• Three Pathways: Students can choose from the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), Career-related Programme (IBCP), or individual IB courses.
• Career-focused Learning: The IBCP includes specialisations in Business, Sustainability, Sports, and the Arts, complemented by an array of IB subjects.
• World-Class Facilities: The Greenhouse provides cutting-edge resources, from STEAM workshops to a rooftop garden, inspiring creative and sustainable learning.
• Inclusivity Through Ignite: A unique programme offering inclusive opportunities in sports and performing arts for students of all abilities.
• Exceptional Results: With a 100% IBDP pass rate and an average score of 36.8 – well above the global average – our students are well-prepared to excel in their future endeavours.
• Wellbeing Curriculum: This innovative programme addresses critical life skills, such as stress management and digital literacy, ensuring students’ holistic development.
• Global Perspective: Rooted in the principles of social justice, sustainability, and global citizenship, our education develops responsible, globally-minded individuals.
• Sustainability Leadership: The Greenhouse epitomises our innovative approach to integrating sustainability into learning and school life.
• Diverse and Inclusive Curriculum: From inquiry-based learning in primary years to Dual Arts pathways and unique subjects like Digital Societies and Global Politics, we cater to a wide range of interests and strengths.
• Exceptional Support Systems: Personalised university counselling and mental health resources ensure students are supported every step of the way.

Our approach is underpinned by the view that an effective learning culture offers more than simply activities, programmes and state-of-the-art facilities. This requires the development of skills and dispositions to successfully engage in life beyond graduation, charged with the ability to invent opportunities rather than follow established careers. Congratulations to our entire Dulwich College community – students, staff and families – for this exceptional achievement. Together, we continue to redefine excellence in education!
