Dover Court International School (DCIS) is celebrating another year of strong International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma results, with the Class of 2026 achieving outcomes that reflect both academic excellence and individual growth.

Dover Court International School’s Drama Department brought C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to life in a breathtaking production featuring 81 Secondary students. With live percussion, striking choreography, and ambitious puppetry, this unforgettable performance showcased creativity, collaboration, and the transformative power of theatre.

As we reach the end of another academic year, I find myself reflecting on what a privilege it is to be part of such a large, vibrant and truly wonderful community.

It is a phrase I have spoken several times over the last 11 months, but it has been a genuine delight to be back in Singapore, specifically at Dover Court, for this last academic year. The community has been so welcoming, and my walks around campus have led to joyful interactions with students and children of all ages.

It has been an action-packed year in the Secondary School with many, many achievements across learning and enrichment, residentials, sports matches, performances, curriculum trips, service and events.
