Dulwich College - Suzhou

Dulwich College Suzhou opened in 2007 and is recognised as a leading international school in the city of Suzhou-a city rich in culture and tradition. Our college is a co-educational day school for students from age 2 to 18 with boarding available for students in Year 10 and above.

Dulwich College Suzhou is academically selective and follows an enhanced British curriculum adapted for the needs of our international student body. Our academic curriculum is complemented by rich co-curricular programmes.

Students in Years 10 and 11 follow the IGSCE curriculum and the IB Diploma Programme in Years 12 and 13. Our graduates go on to study at leading universities around the world.

The primary teaching language is English, with a dual language approach in Mandarin and English in the early years (ages 2 to 7). To ensure our students will thrive, we assess the level of English of non-native speakers before an admissions decision is made. Our Mandarin programme is streamed and caters to all abilities.

The close collaboration among our Colleges and with the founding school, Dulwich College, gives our students unique opportunities to participate in network events and benefit from the group's relationships with leading educational and artistic organisations.

Dulwich College Suzhou believes that engaging with nature and respecting the environment are important. The students are encouraged to be mindful of the impact they have on the environment at the College. Dulwich also regards it as a tradition and a responsibility to help the students become leaders and innovators in sustainability so that they understand the effect of their lifestyle on the climate.

We encourage students across the College to involve themselves in the wider College community and offer support to one another. Our Student Council is made up of students from each year group, who learn to listen and work with one another while voicing the views of their peers. Our most senior students are encouraged to take on additional responsibilities and to act as ambassadors for the College. Each year, our Head Boy and Head Girl are selected from our most senior students and a select number of students are nominated to take on the role of prefects. Our student leadership team set a strong example to younger students and act as a point of contact for students throughout the College.
