Dulwich College Shanghai Puxi opened in August 2016 on a purpose‑built campus in Minhang. It is a member of the Dulwich College International family and draws on the heritage of the founding Dulwich College in London. The college in China is operated by Education in Motion (EiM) under an agreement with Dulwich College London, with local oversight provided through a Board of Management and a Board of Trustees that includes parent representatives.
The school describes an active college community centred on regular assemblies, performances and calendar events such as a Winter Fair and community soirées, and it highlights seasonal traditions including a House Sorting ceremony and a Christmas tree lighting. Families are expected to be partners in school life; the college runs parent workshops, curriculum evenings and opportunities to participate in House and charity activities.
The parent organisation at Dulwich Puxi is called Friends of Dulwich; all parents are members and many volunteer as Class Parent Representatives or serve on the Friends of Dulwich Committee. Friends of Dulwich coordinates social activities, welcomes new families and supports charitable and community events across the school. The college also provides a structured Parents as Partners programme with regular, age‑appropriate workshops (for example on managing behaviour, exam stress, puberty and digital safety) and frequent touchpoints such as Parent‑Teacher Conferences and curriculum information evenings. Several school events reported in the Dulwich Life news feed (including the Winter Fair and community soirées) are organised with parent involvement, and parents commonly volunteer for fundraising and event logistics.
