News from Dulwich College International, Spring 2016
The network of Dulwich international schools in Asia goes from strength to strength. The more established schools in Beijing, Shanghai and Suzhou in China, which have students right through to age 18, celebrated last summer their best ever results in the International Baccalaureate, the highly-regarded international qualification taken by many students worldwide at age 18. In the IB qualification, the highest possible score is 45 points; the Dulwich schools achieved an average of 37.1 points compared with a worldwide average of 29.8. Five Dulwich students gained a perfect score of 45 points, a very rare achievement indeed (only 160 students worldwide managed this score, from over 68,000 who entered). The Dulwich international schools greatly value their links with London and a sense of shared heritage. Nowhere is this more true than at the newest school in Singapore, where a high proportion of the pupils are
British. In November, for example, pupils and staff of the Dulwich international school laid wreaths on the graves of two OAs buried in Kranji cemetery in Singapore as part of their Remembrance Ceremonies. The number of students in Singapore has now grown, in the school’s second year of operation, to over 1,200, with in excess of 1,500 anticipated from September 2016. Further growth of the network will come when a second campus of the school in Shanghai opens in the Minhang district of that city in the next academic year, bringing the number of schools within the international network to eight.
