Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong

Located in the Jinqiao area of Pudong, the main Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong campus is at 266 Lan An Road (DUCKS Early Years is nearby at 425 Lan An Road); the site gives GPS coordinates and a phone contact. The campus is within the international Jinqiao neighbourhood and is about a 15-minute walk from Lantian Road (Line 9) metro station; the school's driving directions and local transport notes are on the contact and visitor pages.

The College educates children from Toddler through Year 13 (roughly ages 2–18) and is organised as DUCKS (Early Years and Years 1–2), Junior School (Years 3–6) and Senior School (Years 7–13). Admissions and assessment procedures are published by year group on the school's admissions pages.

Dulwich Pudong is a co-educational day school for international (foreign‑passport) families; instruction is in English with Mandarin taught from the early years. The College runs a short-term residential programme (Ignite: Switzerland) for a specific year group, but the main campus operates as a day school.

The school runs a Learning Support and English-as-an-Additional-Language (EAL) provision and says it admits only students whose needs it can meet; assessments and review of previous reports form part of the admissions process. DUCKS and Senior School pages note in-class and small-group support options and named Learning Support staff.

The school is part of the Dulwich College International family and was founded in partnership with Dulwich College (London); its governance and affiliations reflect that British heritage rather than formal national government control.

The College is non-denominational; it does not have a religious affiliation.

Typical published hours are: DUCKS 08:00–15:00; Junior School 08:00–15:30; Senior School 08:15–15:30. The admissions FAQ links to the full daily routines and the school calendar for term dates and more detailed timetables.

The school operates a paid bus service for families; route maps and stop information are published to parents (routes are shown via the school's parent/app links). The FAQ directs parents to view Main Campus and DUCKS route listings and the Admissions team handles route enrolment and practical details.

(Annual tuition figures and the school's note on annual vs term payment and the term surcharge are described in the fee information made available by the College. The termly instalments above have been calculated by applying the stated 5% surcharge and dividing by three to show equal term amounts; the College issues the official term amounts on its fee notices.)

- The Terms set out a refund illustration for paid fees based on withdrawal notice dates (for example, differing refund percentages for annual fees depending on when notice is given; term fee refund rules apply by term and by deadline). The College also applies a late‑payment administration charge (RMB 1,000 per reminder) where fees are not paid on time.

Fee payment options and invoicing

- The College issues invoices and provides payment instructions on those invoices. Fees are denominated in RMB; if payment is made in a different currency the College converts at the prevailing published exchange rate. The application/enrolment paperwork allows payments by company or parents and records whether payment will be made annually or by term.

- The College's uniform shop and some service providers use online ordering systems and direct payment channels; for local transactions in China schools commonly provide options such as bank transfer and online payment channels for supplier invoices. Invoices and the College's supply channels provide the exact payment methods and account details to use.
