EduCativPosted April 2, 2021SharePosted April 2, 2021 Welcome to Dulwich College, a vibrant community which comprises DUCKS, our co-educational Kindergarten and Infants’ School (6 months to Year 2), our Junior School for boys from Year 3 to Year 6, and our Senior School for boys from Year 7 to Year 13. Our Senior School is made up of three schools: the Lower School (Year 7 and Year 8), the Middle School (Year 9, Year 10, and Year 11), and the Upper School (Year 12 and Year 13). Dulwich has a distinguished tradition of inspired teaching and genuine scholarship it benefits from historic buildings and green open spaces in a delightful environment. Boys proceed from Dulwich to the most competitive of universities, in the UK and the world, and thereafter into all the major professions, with a high number choosing to work in Medicine, Engineering, and the Law. But we are also alert to the changing nature of work in the 21st century we expect those who leave us to take up several jobs not yet dreamt of and to have more than one career or vocation. The College has a long-standing reputation for producing some of the finest actors, musicians, sportsmen, and writers we foresee a future in which our students go on to entrepreneurial, technological, or cybernetic and innovative enterprises. Our primary duty is to ensure that all our pupils are engaged in good learning, both in the classroom and beyond it both in working towards examined syllabuses and in their free learning. Our objectives are: to ensure that all our pupils feel equally secure and valued, to offer academic challenges that enable each pupil to realize his potential, to provide sporting, cultural, charitable, and adventurous engagement for all our pupils to enjoy and through which they can learn to work co-operatively and to lead, to nurture a supportive community that encourages a sense of social responsibility. It is also our responsibility to enable Alleynians to be thoroughly well prepared for the challenges of the 21st century. This is a challenging Mission Statement. Our responsibility is to ensure that we fulfill our aims and build on our achievements to enable current and future Alleynians to be well prepared for the challenges of life in the 21st century. Dulwich College International is a family of schools. “The Dulwich Commonwealth of Schools” - with seven full International Schools and two International High Schools in Asia". Dulwich College has close involvement with its international colleges and schools determined through an exclusive worldwide charter agreement with Dulwich College Management International which has led to the establishment of several overseas schools and programs, taking the Dulwich name, ethos, and best practice out into the wider world. Currently, more than 7000 students are benefiting from a Dulwich education overseas. Four Dulwich Colleges have been established in China (two in Shanghai, in Pudong and Puxi, and one each in Beijing and Suzhou), one in Seoul, South Korea, and one in Singapore. The latest addition to the family, Dulwich College Yangon, has recently started accepting students in Myanmar. These seven schools are all co-educational and principally cater to the expatriate community. In addition to the international schools, two High Schools have been established in China (in Suzhou and Zhuhai), in conjunction with prestigious Chinese schools, to teach the IGCSE and A-Level curriculum to Chinese pupils who are aiming for top universities in the UK, USA and elsewhere. Dulwich College has its own Outdoor Centre in the heart of the Brecon Beacons. All boys in Years 4 and 5 go away for four or five days respectively with their Form in the Summer Term. Whilst there, they take on various physical challenges such as rock climbing, abseiling, rock hopping, bushcraft, and mountain walking, along with work to support their geography studies. The activities seek to develop the boys’ resilience and perseverance as well as their sense of teamwork. Also, the boys have a chance to be away from home in a secure environment, learning many vital life skills such as being responsible for their belongings, stepping out of their comfort zone, and learning to live happily with others even if they do not do things your way. Most of all, it provides boys with the opportunity to have great fun and to take away memories that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.View full schoolQuoteLink to commentShare on other sitesMore sharing options...
