2014-2015 School Profile

HistoryEdward Alleyn, a famous Elizabethan and Jacobean actor, founded Dulwich College London in 1619. Dulwich College London is an academically selective independent boys’ school renowned for its academic excellence, sporting prowess, and vibrant traditions in the �elds of music, performing arts, and debating. Each year, one in eight of Dulwich College London’s graduating students gains entry into Oxford, Cambridge or one of the Ivy League universities in the US.

Established in Beijing in 2005, Dulwich College Beijing (DCB) is a co-educational institution for the expatriate community, offering a curriculum based on the same educational philosophy as Dulwich College London. Dulwich College Shanghai (2004) was the �rst of the Dulwich Colleges built in China, followed by Dulwich College Beijing, Dulwich College Suzhou (2007), and Dulwich College Zhuhai. In addition to its Chinese campuses, Dulwich also has campuses in Seoul, South Korea and Singapore.

The School and CommunityDulwich College Beijing �rst opened its doors to students in August 2005. Since then the College has grown to accommodate over 1,450 students from 12 months to 18 years old, including 80 students in Year 13 (Grade 12) and 81 students in Year 12 (Grade 11). A diverse student body represents more than 45 nationalities from all over the world. All graduating students are likely to attend university, and students partake in a curriculum that re�ects the needs of international students, focusing on individual development and growth. Recognised as a school that inspires its students, Dulwich College Beijing was named the British International School of the Year in 2011, by the Independent School Awards. The school places great emphasis on a diverse co-curricular programme offering students artistic, sporting, musical, academic and leadership opportunities both during and beyond the formal school day.

From the Junior School through to Year 9 (Grade 8) in the Senior School, students follow an enhanced form of the English National Curriculum, which sets out a clear and full entitlement to learning for all students, determines the curriculum content and sets targets for learning. It provides teachers, students and parents with a clear understanding of the skills and knowledge that students will gain at the College.

International General Certi�cate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) Dulwich College Beijing offers two externally examined two-year courses during the last four years of school (equivalent to US High School). In keeping with the highly regarded British education system, students participate in an extensive range of IGCSE quali�cations in Years 10 and 11 (Grades 9 and 10). Students take up to ten individual IGCSE subjects. All students then go on to complete the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.

Grading SystemGrading for the IGCSE is from A* to G, with a letter grade of U awarded if a student fails to achieve the minimum level of performance. IBDP grading is scored on a scale of 1 (lowest) to 7 (highest) points with a further 3 points available based on a matrix of performance in the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge and CAS components. To earn the diploma, students must achieve a minimum of 24 points out of a possible 45. Examination results are available in early July following May examinations. A rigorous and fair process is followed to ensure that the predicted grades for university applications are appropriate and a fair representation of student performance. Due to small class sizes, and the wide variety of assessments that come to us from a transient, international population, Dulwich College Beijing does not rank students.
