Senior School - High Potential Learners
Our High Potential Learners in Senior School thrive in our atmosphere of high expectation, with high support. The academic rigour that is felt in all endeavours in the school supports our students to take ownership of their learning and really dive in to their interests and talents.
The approach in Senior School is to not only develop subject proficiency and skills, but also lifelong, transferable skills such as research, communication, thinking, social and self-management skills. This ensures students can take ownership of learning in school and life beyond, as well as developing a lifelong love of learning. In Years 7 and 8 the curriculum has been designed to develop individual subject-based skills and build knowledge and understanding to provide a strong foundation for the I/GCSE, IB programmes and beyond.
Dulwich is the only school in Singapore to offer a three-year I/GCSE (International General Certificate of Education) programme which commences in Year 9, with a number of core and optional I/GCSEs to choose from. Students then move onto the IBDP (International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme) or the IBCP (IB Career-related Programme) in the last two years before university.
High Potential Learners have access to the following opportunities to nurture their talent:
- Differentiated Curriculum with a focus on stretch and challenge
- Multiple Language Options
- School Entrance Examination Support
- University Entrance Support with input from Year 8
- Clubs, Societies, CCAs and Enrichment
- Competitions across a number of subjects
- Leadership and Changemaker Programmes
- Exceptional Development Programmes (Ignite!) for Sport and Performing Arts
