Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

Established in 1971, UWCSEA Dover Campus began as Singapore International School, officially opened by Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew. In 1975, it joined the United World College (UWC) movement, adopting its current name. Over the decades, the campus has expanded to serve over 3,000 students aged 4 to 18, with facilities featuring mature trees and open spaces.

Community

The Dover Campus fosters a vibrant community where parents actively support the school's mission through the Parents' Association (PA). The PA organizes various events, including cultural showcases, workshops, and social gatherings, enhancing the experience for students and families. With over 200 volunteers, the PA also facilitates programs like the Parent Buddy Programme to help new families integrate.

The Parents' Association (PA) at Dover Campus is a volunteer organization dedicated to enriching parents' experiences within the UWCSEA community. Collaborating closely with the school's leadership, the PA organizes diverse activities such as social coffees, cultural events, and special interest group initiatives.
