Dover Court End of Term 1 2025-2026 Message from the Principal

30 Year 11 students from Dover Court International School recently completed an incredible eight-day, 137 km stand-up paddleboarding expedition along the River Kwai in Thailand as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award. This challenging journey tested their resilience, teamwork, and determination, creating unforgettable memories and experiences beyond the classroom.

Dover Court International School is proud to announce that 10 of its students received 12 Outstanding Pearson Learner Awards (OPLA), recognising the highest marks in Singapore and globally across the IGCSE/GCSE examinations in May 2025. Additionally, 35 Dover Court students earned Pearson Excellence Awards, celebrating exceptional results across multiple subjects.

24 of our Years 5 and 6 students travelled to Cambodia to take part in the Nord Anglia Education (NAE) Southeast Asia (SEA) Games – and what an incredible experience it was! From start to finish, our students showed determination, teamwork, and resilience, and we couldn’t be prouder of their achievements.

After five days of intense competition, our U15 DCIS Wolves FOBISIA team has returned from the FOBISIA Games, where they proudly represented Dover Court International School in the top division across South East Asia.

DCIS Wolves Sports Teams had an incredible ACSIS Season 1! With over 330 students competing across 17 teams and eight medal wins, this season was full of pride, passion, and team spirit.

Pranav Saxena, a former DCIS student in our Pathway 2 provision, joined Dover in Year 5 back in 2011. His journey is a wonderful example of how a warm and caring school community, combined with the right support and opportunities, can help students discover their passions and go further than they ever imagined.

We are excited to announce that we have been honoured with three awards at the HoneyKids Singapore Education Awards 2025. These include Gold for the Diversity and Inclusive Community Award, Silver for the Curriculum Award (British), and Silver for School Where Everybody Knows Your Name.

We are excited to announce that Dover Court International School has been shortlisted for the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award in the Tes Awards for International Schools 2025, celebrating excellence across the global education community.
