Dulwich College Prospectus
The Master’s Welcome
“When I’m asked to define the College in one sentence I often say that it is a ‘doing’ school, which suits boys who want to get involved with everything – whether they have a natural aptitude for a given activity or are simply enthusiasts. ”

Our principal objectives are:
Engineering and the Law. But we are also alert to the changing nature of work in the 21st century; We expect our alumni to take up a number of jobs not yet dreamt of and to have more than one career. 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 engage in entrepreneurial, technological or cybernetic and innovative enterprises too. 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.
