Admissions

Admissions 1. Attend an Open House or School Tour: Once you've made initial contact, consider booking a visit to the school. Attending an Open House or arranging a tour is an invaluable opportunity to experience the campus firsthand. It's a chance to meet with faculty, observe the learning environment, and ask any questions that can help you assess if the school is the right fit for your child. 2. Submit an Application: After your tour, the next step is the formal application process. Dulwich College (Singapore) requires completion of an online application form, which will include providing your child’s personal information, academic history, and any relevant documents. Make sure to check specific requirements such as past school reports or standardised test scores that might be needed. 3. Provide Supporting Documents: Along with the application form, you will need to submit supporting documents. This typically includes copies of your child’s passport, recent school reports, and any psychological or educational assessments, if applicable. Be aware of deadlines and ensure that all documents are submitted in a timely manner to avoid delays. 4. Application Review and Interview: Once your application is complete, it will be reviewed by the admissions team and the Head of School. In certain cases (IB applications), an interview may be scheduled with the prospective student. This interview is an opportunity for both the school and your family to further assess compatibility and ensure the school is well-suited to your child's educational needs and interests. 5. Assessment Process: Depending on the year group, your child may be required to undergo an assessment. This can range from observation sessions for younger children to formal cognitive ability tests and written assignments for older students. This helps the school determine the suitable academic level for your child. Also, each applicant is asked to submit a 2-minute long video. This is a great way for the admissions team to get to know more about your child. 6. Receive an Offer: If your application is successful, you will receive a formal offer for a place at Dulwich College (Singapore).

The second pool is in March, and parents need to have the application completed by the end of February. You will then receive an outcome in November or March respectively.

These events offer insights into the school's culture and provide opportunities to ask questions.

Waitlist Dulwich College (Singapore) does not operate a waitlist. Every applicant is given equal opportunity to secure a place during each admissions cycle based on the strength of their application, provided they meet the application deadlines as per their Applicant Pool process. Applicant Pool It is important to note that Dulwich College (Singapore) operates two applicant pool deadlines each year. This is to give parents clarity on when they can expect an admissions outcome. The first pool is in November. To be eligible for an admissions outcome in November families need to have their application completed by the 31st of October. The second pool is in March. To be eligible for an admissions outcome in March families need to have their application completed by the 1st of March. The school still accepts applications outside of the Applicant Pool timelines, so it is still worth submitting an application in case spaces become available outside those times. We recommend submitting your application as early as possible so that the admissions team can support you through the application and assessment process in time to be eligible for a decision within the next applicant pool deadline, or potentially earlier if a space becomes available. | Waitlist UWCSEA East Campus does not operate a traditional waitlist or pool system. Instead, the school follows an annual application cycle, with applications typically opening on 1 September of the preceding year. Offers are extended in rounds, with the first round occurring in December or January, and subsequent rounds in March. Applicants not offered a place in earlier rounds are welcome to reapply in the following academic year. |
