Dulwich College Suzhou was the third to join the Dulwich College International (DCI) family of schools, opening its doors in 2007. The College is made up of approximately 800 students from age 2 to age 18, with over 30 different nationalities represented in our diverse student body. Dulwich College Suzhou links to Dulwich College, founded in 1619, are strong and we collaborate closely with the other schools in the network to encourage an international outlook and create an extended community where academic ability is fostered, creativity is valued, and diversity is celebrated.

Dulwich College Suzhou is an international school delivering a holistic, experiential education that blends traditional British education with innovation and creativity. It serves students from Nursery through Year 13 across three phases: DUCKS (Nursery to Year 2, ages 2–7), Junior School (Years 3–6, ages 7–11), and Senior School (Years 7–13, ages 11–18). The programme emphasizes academic excellence alongside wellbeing and character development, and includes university and careers counselling. The school reports academic outcomes including IGCSE and IB results.

The school references 'Online & Hybrid Learning' and 'Holistic Learning Anywhere' with evidence-based principles of learning across online and offline environments.

At Dulwich College Suzhou International School, the co-curricular activity (CCA) programme covers all of the activities that take place outside of the taught curriculum. We consider this to be an integral part of the students’ journey through their schooling, as it affords an opportunity for students to experience and deepen their interests and abilities in a wide range of areas.
