We enrol students who have met the entry requirements in accordance with the spaces available in the appropriate year level. If there are no available places, or the application is for a future academic year, students are placed on a waiting list. Priority will be given to the siblings of currently enrolled students, a returning Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong student and children transferring from another Dulwich College International school.

Yes. All those who wish to have access to the College will need a security card for entrance. To prepare the cards, families should upload individual photos to Dulwich College Shanghai Security Card Application Form using .jpeg or .png files only. A family group can be set up on the application form, and may include your ayi, your driver or anyone that you completely trust to come onto the College grounds to collect your child(ren).

We will provide the first two cards free of charge, with each subsequent card costing 30RMB. This fee can be paid at the Student Support Service office when you collect your finished cards.

Other than on Student Orientation Day, everyone apart from students in uniform will need to swipe their personal cards for access. Other visitors must sign in with the guards and wear visitor badges to gain entrance. Temporary school badges must be handed back to the guards on leaving the site.

We only enrol students whom we know we can support. We enrol students with learning challenges when the information available indicates that the student’s learning needs can be met by the services we provide.

Our team will consult students and parents to conduct all necessary assessments and review copies of all previous reports and records. We request that parents provide all information available to enable our admissions review team to make an accurate decision about learning support services and admission.

At Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong we appreciate the cultural diversity that non-native English speakers bring to our school and we are able to support a percentage of students who are non-native English speakers. Applicants who speak languages other than English should be able to demonstrate age-appropriate academic proficiency in their native tongue. Our admissions team may request that students be assessed on their ability to handle the academic challenges of English before an admissions decision is made.
