Welcome to Dulwich College, a vibrant community which comprises DUCKS, our co-educational Kindergarten and Infants’ School (6 months to Year 2), our Junior School for boys from Year 3 to Year 6 and our Senior School for boys from Year 7 to Year 13. Our Senior School is made up of three schools: the Lower School (Year 7 and Year 8), the Middle School (Year 9, Year 10 and Year 11) and the Upper School (Year 12 and Year 13).
Dulwich has a distinguished tradition of inspired teaching and genuine scholarship; it benefits from historic buildings and green open spaces in a delightful environment.
Boys proceed from Dulwich to the most competitive of universities, in the UK and in the world, and thereafter into all the major professions, with a high number choosing to work in Medicine, Engineering and the Law.
But we are also alert to the changing nature of work in the 21st century; we expect those who leave us to take up a number of jobs not yet dreamt of and to have more than one career or vocation. 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 entrepreneurial, technological or cybernetic and innovative enterprises.
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.
Our objectives are: to ensure that all our pupils feel equally secure and valued, to offer academic challenges that enable each pupil to realise his potential, to provide sporting, cultural, charitable and adventurous engagement for all our pupils to enjoy and through which they can learn to work co-operatively and to lead, to nurture a supportive community that encourages a sense of social responsibility.
It is also our responsibility to enable Alleynians to be thoroughly well prepared for the challenges of the 21st century.
This is a challenging Mission Statement. Our responsibility is to ensure that we fulfil our aims and build on our achievements so as to enable current and future Alleynians to be well prepared for the challenges of life in the 21st century.
Dulwich College International is a family of schools. “The Dulwich Commonwealth of Schools” - with seven full International Schools and two International High Schools in Asia".
Dulwich College has close involvement with its international colleges and schools determined through an exclusive worldwide charter agreement with Dulwich College Management International which has led to the establishment of a number of overseas schools and programmes, taking the Dulwich name, ethos and best practice out into the wider world.
Currently, more than 7000 students are benefiting from a Dulwich education overseas. Four Dulwich Colleges have been established in China (two in Shanghai, in Pudong and Puxi, and one each in Beijing and Suzhou), one in Seoul, South Korea, and one in Singapore. The latest addition to the family, Dulwich College Yangon, has recently started accepting students in Myanmar.
These seven schools are all co-educational and principally cater to the expatriate community. In addition to the international schools, two High Schools have been established in China (in Suzhou and Zhuhai), in conjunction with prestigious Chinese schools, to teach the IGCSE and A Level curriculum to Chinese pupils who are aiming for top universities in the UK, USA and elsewhere.
Dulwich College has its own Outdoor Centre in the heart of the Brecon Beacons. All boys in Years 4 and 5 go away for four or five days respectively with their Form in the Summer Term.
Whilst there, they take on various physical challenges such as rock climbing, abseiling , rock hopping, bush craft and mountain walking, along with work to support their geography studies. The activities seek to develop the boys’ resilience and perseverance as well as their sense of teamwork.
In addition, the boys have a chance to be away from home in a secure environment, learning many vital life skills such as being responsible for your own belongings, stepping out of your own comfort zone and learning to live happily with others even if they do not do things your way. Most of all, it provides boys with the opportunity to have great fun and to take away memories that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.

excellent school. My son is very happy there. I am very pleased that my younger son will go there next year. I have nothing negative to say abut the school. It is very big but the boys are not lost. There is a vibrant atmosphere and the boys look very happy and confident.

My son is here, and I am really impressed by the professionalism of the staff. Things happen, things go wrong but the staff do their utmost to protect the children and address any issues that arise. There is an emphasis on growing the boys as well rounded individuals as well as academic performance which I think is missing in some of the other top schools. There are a lot of after school clubs which the kids can join which allows them to learn stuff outside the curriculum too. The grounds themselves are absolutely beautiful which I think is important when your son lives in the inner city. The school meals are amazing and free for the first two years. I think my son liked them a little too much at first, but the sports programme helped keep that in check. Finally, I was a bit worried about snobbery, but from what my son says, there’s very little of that going on there.

A school is much more than a simple building with classrooms and blackboards. It is the place where to promote culture and favor the socialization and personal growth of students. This is what Dulwich College has represented since its founding and is the spirit that guided the design. This project brings together the north-east and south-east wings of the existing building through a new building, creating a unitary unit. The new building, 6,000 square meters, houses the main entrance of the school and represents a natural extension of the existing one thanks to the presence of elements that recall the overall environment. The internal organization of the environments has been considerably improved, thanks to a better layout of the classrooms and training spaces designed to promote the creation of homogeneous areas based on the different activities, and the introduction of new structures including the theater, library, sports facilities and a botanical garden that represents the "green heart" of the campus.
The entrance, featuring a large full-height atrium, gives users a complete view of the entire facility and offers meeting spaces for people.

As a pupil at Dulwich College, I think that the facilities are tremendous and the staff are really friendly. Situations are dealt with fairly.

I went here from 1968 until 1971 (I was born in 1960). It's a good school and has a nice campus
