Dulwich College Shanghai

Dulwich College Shanghai was founded in 2003, the first of the Dulwich College International Schools in the world, and the first British independent school in Shanghai. Today we have two campuses, located in Puxi and Pudong, catering to students from age 2-18. 

A Dulwich education is rooted in academic success. Our broad holistic offering engages children in personalised learning pathways and allows them the space and choice to find and pursue their true passions. Our teachers go above and beyond to ensure that each child reaches their full potential. Students in Years 10-11 take the I/GCSE course of study before moving to the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Years 12-13.

Dulwich College Shanghai students go on to matriculate at some of the most selective universities in the world. Each of our students graduates with the skills and motivation to make a positive difference in the world, joining our Worldwise Alumni Network that extends around the world.
