Dulwich College International

What Dulwich College International does

Dulwich College International operates a network of 12+ premium international schools and high school programmes across China, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand, wholly owned by the Education in Motion (EiM) family of schools and registered in Hong Kong as Dulwich College Management International Limited. The network traces its heritage to Dulwich College London, founded in 1619, and extends the brand across Asia with the founding campus Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong (2003) and most recent addition Dulwich College Bangkok (2025). Enrolment is estimated at 15,000+ students aged 2-18 across the Dulwich international campuses and adjacent Dehong bilingual schools.

The core product is a three-stage educational programme: DUCKS (Early Years, ages 2-7), Junior School (ages 7-11 following the modified English National Curriculum), and Senior School (ages 11-18 delivering IGCSE and International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme curricula). Specialised high school programmes in Suzhou and Hengqin add IB and A Level tracks respectively, with the Hengqin campus also offering a residential Boarding Programme. The network differentiates through partnerships with the Royal Shakespeare Company, Royal Northern College of Music, Berklee College of Music, and Vienna Boys' Choir, alongside a University and Career Counselling service that places graduates at Ivy+, Oxbridge, Russell Group, and G5 institutions.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition fees charged to families, with pricing not publicly disclosed and admissions processed campus-by-campus through open days, immersion days, and personal consultations. Customer segments include expatriate families seeking English-language British-tradition international education and local Chinese families served through the Dehong bilingual schools. The 2025 IB cohort achieved an average score of 37.5/45 against a global average of 30.58, with 100% pass rate and Shanghai Pudong IGCSE results showing 86% of grades at A*-A.
