• Admissions

  Dulwich College (Singapore) welcomes children as young as 2 years old into the Toddler programme, which offers 32 places. An additional 64 places are available respectively in Nursery and Reception with each new intake. Beyond these entry levels, place availability depends solely on withdrawals. Families are therefore encouraged to apply early for the Nursery or Reception intakes. English is the primary language of instruction, and to ensure all students receive the necessary support, the school assesses the English proficiency of non-native speakers. This process is supplemented by school records, references, reports, and diagnostic testing if necessary. Additionally, it is important that at least one parent is a fluent or native English speaker to ensure clear and effective communication between the College and home. The College has two application submission deadlines: October and March. They do not maintain a waitlist, and each applicant is given equal consideration during the admissions cycle based on the strength of their application, provided they meet the deadlines and entry criteria. If an applicant is not offered a place during the first round of admissions, they will remain in the applicant pool and receive a decision in the second round. Possible outcomes include: 1) an offer of a place, 2) confirmation of a successful application but with placement rolled over to the next academic year due to current unavailability, or 3) an unsuccessful application. Applicants in the second category may receive an offer if a place becomes available during the interim period. Once year groups are full, place availability is typically dependent on withdrawals, but families can secure a guaranteed spot through Guaranteed Placement Rights (GPR), which allows prioritisation for one child’s entry in exchange for a financial contribution that supports the Alleynian Scholarship Programme.
