The Juilliard School

The Juilliard School

There’s so much more to performing arts than what you see on stage. Children develop self-expression and self-awareness, as well as empathy, confidence, and a love of cultural exploration. Our collaboration with the world-renowned performing arts institution, The Juilliard School, enhances our drama and music programmes, promoting creativity, teamwork, and resilience among students of all ages.

Juilliard is recognised around the world as a leader in the arts. Through our exclusive collaboration, we harness their expertise and experience to create a continually evolving programme, which sparks our students’ imagination and nurtures their talents and interests.

MIT

MIT
Our global programme inspires students to look beyond individual subjects, sparking their curiosity through our hands-on interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving. Guided by the world’s leading STEAM institution, our students take part in challenges and visit MIT on a trip led by experts from the university. Our collaboration also gives our teachers the opportunity to learn from specialists in the world of STEAM, coming up with cutting-edge lessons that inspire our students in the future. 
UNICEF
Students are challenged to make a difference both locally and internationally, working together to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
UNICEF
Our collaboration with UNICEF challenges both students and teachers to think about how they can make a meaningful, positive impact on the world around them. This includes embedding the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in our teaching and learning, using materials developed by UNICEF. Our students also take part in an annual Global Challenge, as well as local outreach opportunities in our community.
IMG Academy

Our teachers also benefit from professional development led by IMG Academy’s expert coaches, ensuring they can inspire and support students in reaching their full potential.  

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

  • How long does the admissions process take?
    The length of the admissions process varies. It’s personalised to your child, so factors like their age, learning support needs, and assessment type all play a part. The time it takes to get the Confidential Student Reference form from your child’s current school can also have an impact.
  • How long is your waiting list?

    We’re currently at capacity, with waiting lists for most age groups. Singapore, however, is a relatively transient place, with families coming and going throughout the year. As the school receives withdrawals, places are offered to children on the waiting list (in order of application).

     Dover Court has three withdrawal deadlines each year, one per term. You can find these in our calendar. Once we’ve had a withdrawal, we’ll contact the next family on the waitlist to immediately offer them a place.

    If we’re unable to offer your child a place for their preferred start date, your application will roll over to the next term (or until a suitable space becomes available). 

  • Is the admissions process different if my company pays the fees?
    If your company is paying your child’s fees, our admissions and finance teams are happy to deal with them directly. Please let us know as early as possible in the process.
  • Is the application fee refundable?
    Once paid, the application fee is non-refundable.
