Dulwich College Beijing (Simplified Chinese: 北京德威英国国际学校, Traditional Chinese: 北京德威英國國際學校, Pinyin: Běijīng Déwēi Yīngguó Guójì Xuéxiào "Beijing Dulwich English International School") is a British international school with campuses in Beijing, China. It is a branch of Dulwich College, and opened in August 2005. As of 2013 it has over 1,450 students from 12 months to 18 years.
The Legend Garden Campus serving 1–18-year olds is in Shunyi District. The Riviera Main Campus serves 1–6-year olds and is in Chaoyang District.
In 2006, The Guardian listed Dulwich College as one of the best international schools in the world, the only school in its list to be located in China, citing "excellent music and sports facilities" and a majority English speaking faculty. In 2009 the school's Chinese department director, Chen Xialin, said that the school teaches English and mathematics in small classes divided by different levels so that students may study in a "confident environment". 60% of dulwich teachers are British.
Students of Dulwich College Beijing's Senior School begin their high school curriculum in Years 10 and 11, where they follow an internationally recognised version of the British GCSEs, dubbed (I)GCSE's. They then transition into the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme during Years 12 and 13 (the US equivalent of grades 11 and 12.) In 2015, 3 students from the school received maximum IB scores of 45 points, which was only achieved by 146 students around the world. The Class of 2015 had an average IB score of 37.5 points, of which 36% scored above 40 points.
In 2015 the tuition for the year was 250,000 renminbi ($40,275 U.S. dollars). China Daily ranked Dulwich Beijing as the 4th most expensive private school in Beijing.
The school includes a programme for students with German as a first language.
In 2013 Dulwich College opened a dome for athletic facilities in order to protect students from pollution in Beijing. In 2015, a new dome was built on the former west field.
In the 2016-2017 academic year, Dulwich has been honoured to receive three distinctions: the prestigious British International School Award in the "Teaching Initiative of the Year" category"[1]", a Diplomats’ Choice in the "Best International School" category"[2]", as well as being named "Best International School" at the Expat Life Awards.[3]
