Boarding is available for international students in Years 12 and 13 (ages 16–18) through a partnership with ACS Oldham Hall. The programme provides a 'home away from home' environment with dedicated residential staff and pastoral care. A 2025-2026 Boarding Handbook provides full details, and allocation is subject to availability.
Years 12 and 13 IB students wear formal business attire at school; they are not required to wear the standard Dulwich College Singapore school uniform. Uniforms can be purchased from The College Shop on campus (next to the Clocktower Café) or from Lim's Uniform Shop, with a second-hand uniform shop run by Friends of Dulwich.
The student identification card acts as a payment card for dining rooms and campus cafes, with dining managed through the Parent Portal's e-wallet. Sodexo provides school meals; vegetarian options are available daily; the school is nut-free. Younger children in DUCKS have fixed lunches, and packed lunches are allowed.
There are four Houses: Shackleton (green), Mandela (blue), Earhart (purple) and Lee (red). Each House fosters belonging and friendly competitions and provides opportunities for leadership and cross-year collaboration.
The governance structure includes a Board of Management led by the Board of Directors, with Fraser White responsible for governance oversight. A Board of Trustees serves as an advisory body.
Dulwich College Singapore caters for children aged 2 to 18, and follows the British curriculum system. The school prepares students for IGCSE exams in Key Stage 4 and the IB Diploma Programme in the final two years. Facilities include modern science labs, art and design spaces, a swimming pool, and a large theatre for performing arts. A unique aspect of the school is its approach to sustainability, evidenced by the recent opening 'The Greenhouse' - the first international school building in Singapore to be certified Green Mark Platinum Zero Energy. Students have access to a broad range of activities outside of the classroom, including competitive sports teams and music ensembles, drama productions and exchange opportunities with other Dulwich schools worldwide.
