Dulwich College Shanghai Puxi

Dulwich College Shanghai Puxi is in Maqiao, Minhang District (2000 Qian Pu Jing Road), in the west of Shanghai; the campus coordinates are listed on the school site. Travel times by car vary by origin — central areas and popular residential districts are typically 25–45 minutes away and Hongqiao airport is often cited as roughly 40–45 minutes by car, depending on traffic.

The College is organised as DUCKS (early years) for ages 2–7, Junior School for ages 7–11, and Senior School for ages 11–18; Senior students follow IGCSEs and the IB Diploma Programme.

Dulwich Puxi is a co-educational international day school (no on-site boarding facilities). It is part of the Dulwich College International network.

The College provides English as an Additional Language (EAL) support and limited learning-support assistance for pupils who can access the mainstream curriculum; it does not offer a separate/specialised additional curriculum but will enrol students only when staff and services can meet their documented needs.

The school is part of the Dulwich College International family, which has British origins and a formal link to Dulwich College in London; the DCI schools are operated within the Education in Motion / EiM group (recent ownership changes are noted on the DCI pages).

The school does not list a religious denomination on its public pages and operates as a non-denominational international school.

Timings vary by age group and the published information shows DUCKS/early-years sessions and a typical school-day finish around mid-to-late afternoon (for many year groups 15:30 is the standard finish used on Dulwich DUCKS materials); lunch times are staggered by age and by timetable. The College also runs after-school co-curricular activities and offers a later bus on some days for students staying for activities.

The College operates an optional, school-run bus service (available from around age 3 upwards) managed by an in-school Bus Service Team; buses have government safety certification and at least one bus monitor per vehicle. Routes cover much of western Shanghai, new routes are added each year, and the school publishes route, pick-up/drop-off and contact details to registered families ahead of term start; the fleet has been described as increasingly electric.
