At Dover Court, outstanding personalised learning opportunities enable our students to do what they love, take on new challenges, and achieve amazing things.
Your child will have the opportunity to go on expeditions to Switzerland, Borneo, and Tanzania, boosting their confidence and independence. They’ll effect local and global change through social, leadership, and environmental projects. And they’ll do what they love at more than 250 co-curricular activities, including The Duke of Edinburgh International Award, DCIS Wolves sports teams, and animation, debating, and 3D printing clubs.
Of course, your child’s wellbeing is at the heart of every experience we offer. Our expert inclusion team provide the care, support, and attention they need to feel happy, confident, and motivated.
Our collaborations with The Juilliard School, MIT, and UNICEF enhance our students’ school experience, both in and beyond the classroom.
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.
Our global programme empowers students to develop essential life skills through the discipline of sport, guided by the world’s leading sports education institution.
We equip students with the tools to succeed both on and off the field by combining elite athletic training with personal development, wellbeing, and mindset coaching. Altogether, this builds their resilience, confidence, and leadership skills.
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.
School trips are a vital part of our curriculum, enabling children of all ages to transfer learning into contexts beyond the classroom.
Our younger students love exploring, enjoying trips to the Singapore Zoo, the Insect and Butterfly Park, and Gardens by the Bay. Our older students embrace the diversity and culture of our city, visiting the Urban Redevelopment Authority Museum and Centre Stage School of the Arts.
We’re lucky to be located next to a beautiful park, too. Our students spend time learning about nature, enjoying the fresh air, and socialising with friends.
We offer a range of immersive overnight trips away from our campus, which add an exciting element to every child’s education.
From helping to build clean water and sanitation systems in Borneo to supporting the Meals on Flip Flops project in northern Thailand, our carefully planned residentials widen our students’ perspectives, empower them to make a difference, and bring global issues to life.
On other adventures – like our Year 6 residential to Tioman Island in Malaysia –your child can kayak, snorkel, climb, and hike, as well as learn about environmental challenges and different cultures. These trips accelerate our students’ holistic development, as they take personal responsibility, become increasingly independent, and grow in confidence.
The personal challenge expedition in Les Martinets in Switzerland encourages our students to push themselves and take risks. Set in the beautiful Swiss Alps, students hike through the mountains and take on a series of challenges. Students also learn important skills – like cooking and working together under pressure – while creating cherished memories that stay with them forever.
Our citizenship trip to Arusha in Tanzania teaches students about global responsibility and sustainability, and the important role we play in looking after our planet. Working with locals on a variety of projects, students develop a sense of independence, increase their understanding of the world, and learn the importance of being part of a community.
Every year, a group of Dover Court students take part in workshops, seminars, and debates at the United Nations’ (UN) High Level Political Forum and Model UN event in New York, US. Through this exclusive experience, our students collaborate with staff, contribute to committees, and influence world leaders.
Wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at Dover Court. We embrace individuality, spread kindness, and foster an environment where every student is heard and supported. Our inclusive education pathways and commitment to personalised teaching ensures they’re happy, engaged, and motivated, too.
Through our specialist inclusion team, your child will also have access to expert support, whenever they need it. This includes an educational psychologist, occupational therapists, counsellors, and dedicated pastoral staff. We also run bespoke wellbeing and personal, social, health, and economic (PSHE) programmes, which give our students the tools to look after themselves and others, form positive relationships, and develop resilience.
With its charming historical buildings, modern sport and creative spaces, and stunning natural areas, our campus is unlike any other in Singapore.
More about our campus
EMPOWERED TO CHANGE THE WORLD
Our students are a genuine force for good. Whether it’s finding solutions to global challenges, fundraising for local causes, or taking on leadership roles in school, your child will become a principled, open minded global citizen who makes a real difference.
Your child will stand up for what they believe in and make their voice heard through our exclusive collaboration with UNICEF. They’ll come together as a community to support local charities like Curious Thoughts Giving, which promotes literacy in underprivileged communities. And they’ll drive inclusion, improvement, and innovation across our campus, taking the lead at our Student Council, as House captains, and by becoming school ambassadors.
