From our Head of College

Warm Welcome to Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong!

As Head of College, it is important to me that we create an environment and culture where every child can succeed. We go to great lengths to ensure that the College offers both breadth and depth across a wide range of academic subjects and co-curricular activities, including sports, performing arts, service, and leadership. Every decision we make is guided by our passion to put students first, and to foster their overall wellbeing and healthy development as individuals.

Since 2003, Dulwich Pudong has been a leading international school in Shanghai with a strong academic reputation. We offer the highly respected IGCSE and IB programmes, with results that are consistently world-class. However, this is not at the cost of wellbeing. Our inclusive and truly international community values each child in their own right. Children are encouraged to develop their talents and interests to foster a genuine and intrinsic love of learning. We hope this balance will allow them to be happy, resilient, responsible, confident and the kind of people who form strong relationships and make positive contributions to society. They 'Live Worldwise'.

Our students matriculate to leading universities all around the world, including UK, US, Europe, Asia, Canada and beyond. Their specialty subjects are equally wide ranging, from medicine to music, law to literature, fashion to film, English to engineering, and at some of the most prestigious universities in the world, including Oxbridge and Ivy League institutions. We are extremely proud of our alumni network, and many choose to stay in touch, returning to school to advise and support existing students through their university application processes or simply as career mentors.

However, for me, the foundational strength of Dulwich Pudong lies within our diverse and collaborative community. Our shared values, of compassion, inclusivity, and kindness, and experiences drive us forward and unite our students, teachers, support staff, parents, and alumni. We believe in the power of partnerships where, together, we make informed choices, take inspired action and create positive impact.

I invite you to visit us and experience for yourself the atmosphere that makes our College a unique place to grow and learn. I look forward to meeting you.

Mr. Garry Russell
Head of College
