From our Head of College

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Dulwich College Suzhou website. Dulwich College Suzhou is a proud member of the Dulwich College International family. Tradition and innovation are two of our core values. We draw upon over 400 years of tradition and experience from our founding College in London and our sister schools in Asia, as well as recently welcoming The Green School, Bali to our group, a school which excels in pioneering world class sustainability education. 

A Dulwich College education is holistic. I am proud that the College IB average over the last five years is 37.2, with many students also getting a bilingual diploma and still able to achieve the absolute highest scores of 45 points! Our students are dedicated to academic excellence and you will see that we innovate in raising the academic bar to new heights in things like extended research. They engage in the arts, sport, service projects and they seek to be part of global solutions to ongoing challenges. Our students actively pursue opportunities to make a positive difference to the lives of others. Our students care about their friends, their local community and the broader world. They engage in servant leadership, as they become global citizens. World class universities welcome our students because they are confident in the calibre of citizen that graduates from Dulwich College Suzhou.  

The College is a leader in innovation evidenced by our embracing of digital pedagogies and also student-centred feedback processes. We give our teachers the tools to be effective in a fast-paced world, and we give our students voice and agency over aspects of their learning experience. Our students are informed, equipped and motivated to pursue excellence within an environment of challenge and support.

We celebrate the full international and multicultural nature of our students and staff, who come from over 40 different countries. In keeping with our motto Detur Pons Mundo - Building Bridges to the World - we facilitate the sharing of these diverse experiences and perspectives, placing an emphasis on critical thinking and global citizenship. Our teachers are part of a network of world leading professional development at each level of teaching and management.   Dulwich College Suzhou students benefit immensely from outstanding relationships with staff they know, trust and who go the extra mile to put students first. Students enjoy being at the College - it is a happy, supportive and vibrant place, full of challenge, opportunity and spirit!

Kind regards,

David Massiah
