The Middle Senior School at Dulwich College (Singapore) is made up of Years 9 to 11 (for students aged 13 to 16 years old). During these years students follow a programme of study leading to IGCSE or GCSE qualifications. These are externally organised qualifications based in the United Kingdom.
Students study for three years, at the end of which they take a suite of externally set and assessed exams. They then receive a grade for each subject in which they sit exams.
The curriculum is made up of a core of mandatory subjects English Language and Literature, Mathematics and Science. These are augmented by a set of options subjects.
Most students who start the programme in Year 9 will study 10 IGCSE/GCSE courses:
-
English Language
-
English Literature
-
Mathematics

Science
- Either: Separate Sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics – 3 grades)
- or: Double Award Science (worth 2 IGCSE grades) -
4 or 5 options subjects
Further information about the courses available can be found in the IGCSE Booklet.
Subject Selection Process
An important step before your child’s first day of school, our academic team from the Middle Senior School will be in touch with you to arrange for a meeting to discuss and confirm your child’s curriculum choices. This meeting will also be a great opportunity to answer any questions you may have.
If you have not been contacted by any of our staff members regarding your child’s curriculum options, please do reach out to [email protected].
