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.

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 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 offer letter will typically include specific terms and conditions, along with an acceptance deadline.
