About Dulwich College (Singapore)
Students come first is a guiding pillar in everything we do at Dulwich College (Singapore). We therefore invite applications from educators who share our pioneering spirit and dedication to serve the needs of over 2,930 individuals, aged between 2 and 18, across our community. We want to develop a culture focused on wellbeing where staff and students benefit from the best quality learning possible, have agency in their work and studies, and collaborate to build a sustainable and equitable world.
Regarded as one of the leading international schools in Singapore, the College is academically selective and provides a rigorous curriculum, complemented by a rich co-curricular programme. We build upon an enhanced version of the English National Curriculum, followed by IGCSE and the IB Diploma Programme. It is a genuinely international education. Our modern campus connects us to the greenery of Singapore and features technology-rich learning spaces, world-class performing arts facilities, swimming pools, sports pitches, and gymnasia.
The Junior School
Our Junior School caters for 880 enthusiastic learners aged between 7 and 11. Everything we do is underpinned by a culture of safety and wellbeing for all members of the community. We build upon the excellent foundations laid in DUCKS, and develop a depth of academic knowledge, as well as the life skills and mindset needed, to prepare students for the best possible success in our Senior School. We want children to leave Year 6 as motivated, independent and collaborative learners.
Junior School teachers have high expectations of themselves and learners. They are reflective and strive for continual improvement. They value knowing each child as an individual and create a safe space for learning. They believe in personalising learning and that all children have the right to make progress from their individual starting points; teachers identify the needs of children and provide support and challenge as appropriate.
Our teachers understand the importance of a solid platform of core skills and content, and see this as a springboard to teach broader concepts, through an inquiry approach to learning. To support this every student has access to a device. Our curriculum and timetable value a breadth of disciplines that includes traditionally academic subjects as well as STEM, sports, and visual and performance arts. Teachers are supported to develop areas of expertise within this model.
