A Day in the Life of a Junior School Student

What is it really like to be a Junior School student? We asked three of our students - Fatima Y, Jimmy G, and Charly C - to give us a glimpse into a day in their lives at Dulwich Pudong. 

Junior School encompasses Years 3 to 6 (Year 3 is equivalent of Year 2 in local school) and caters to children aged seven to 11. The curriculum follows the English National Curriculum, modified for our international context. 

Junior School students engage in what we call topic-based learning, where different subject matter is grouped under an umbrella topic or area of interest. Students also have dedicated English and Mathematics lessons and specialist teachers for Mandarin, Physical Education, Art, Design Technology, and Music. Where possible, lessons in these subjects are also linked to the current topic.

Our Junior School aims to provide each child with the very best education and support within a welcoming and safe  environment. To achieve this, we encourage our students to develop a deep understanding of what they learn, nurturing their natural curiosity and stimulating their creativity.
