Welcome from the Principal
Dear Parents,
It is a true pleasure to welcome you to Dover Court International School. As I return to this remarkable community as Interim Principal, I am reminded daily of what makes DCIS such a special place: a proud history of exceptional student achievement, a deep commitment to inclusion, and a culture of world-class teaching supported by an engaged and caring parent community.
At Dover Court, we believe every child has unique strengths and the potential to go further than even they imagined. Our inclusive approach ensures that all students—regardless of background or ability—are supported, challenged, and celebrated. Our passionate educators bring global expertise and a shared dedication to nurturing not only academic excellence but also the personal growth and wellbeing of every student.
Our students are confident, compassionate, and curious—ready to make a difference in the world. They benefit from a rich British-style international curriculum, enhanced by our collaborations with MIT, The Juilliard School, and UNICEF, and by the global connections offered through Nord Anglia Education. These opportunities empower our students to think critically, act ethically, and grow into thoughtful global citizens.
Equally important is the vibrant partnership we share with our families. The Dover Court Association (DCA) plays a vital role in building community spirit and creating meaningful connections between home and school. I encourage all families to get involved—whether through events, volunteering, or simply connecting with fellow parents. Your engagement enriches the experience for all our students and strengthens the fabric of our school.
Thank you for considering or being a part of the Dover Court family. I look forward to another wonderful year at DCIS, filled with learning, laughter, and shared success.
Sincerely,
Christopher Short
Principal
Dover Court International School
