The school offers language programs including a streamed Mandarin curriculum and Korean cultural immersion in the Primary School, with Korean language taught as an elective in Senior School. The Dulwich network emphasizes cross-campus cultural exchange and global citizenship initiatives across campuses. Students have participated in traditional Korean instruments and mask dances as part of cross-campus cultural experiences.
Social and hobby-based activities are supported through Worldwise events and student-led groups, including photography and performing arts projects and cross-school competitions. The Dulwich Olympiad provides a festival-like environment where music, drama, arts and sports disciplines come together across the network.
