Mr. Garry Russell

School Principal

Dulwich College Shanghai is an international co-educational day school operating two campuses (Pudong and Puxi) that together deliver an English National Curriculum into IGCSE and the IB Diploma. The Pudong campus opened in 2003 and educates over 1,600 students; the Puxi campus opened in August 2016 and is located in South Minhang at 2000 Qian Pu Jing Road, sitting on about 40,000 sq. metres of green space. The College groups younger children in DUCKS (Toddler to Year 2), a Dual Language early years programme based on the U.K. Early Years Foundation Stage (offered at the Pudong campus). Students follow the English National Curriculum through Year 9, take IGCSEs in Years 10–11 and the IB Diploma in Years 12–13. Mandarin is taught through three streamed pathways (native, second-language and foreign-language) from early years through to IGCSE/IB. Each campus publishes an annual tuition fee schedule (the Pudong campus publishes a detailed fee PDF showing 2025–26 tuition bands; the Puxi campus’s published range is RMB 141,900–RMB 399,750). The College runs a large co-curricular programme including STEAM, sports, music, drama and community/service activities; facilities at the Puxi campus include a 50m Olympic pool, a triple gymnasium and a 500-seat theatre, and classes at Puxi are typically small (around 10 students in most lessons). The College also operates an optional school bus service and, at the Pudong campus, offers a termly residential Ignite and a Switzerland programme for older students.
