About Role

Dulwich College Suzhou (DCSZ) seeks an inspirational and innovative educator to join Senior School from August 2025. This is an excellent opportunity to make a difference in our fast-growing school in Suzhou, one of China’s most vibrant cities. At DCSZ children in Senior School are aged 11-18.

Our School

Dulwich College Suzhou opened in 2007 and is recognised as the leading international school in the region. Our College is a Co-Educational Day School for students from Age 2 to 18. We have 800 students, spanning over 30 nationalities, with 420 students in Primary School (Nursery to Year 6) and 380 students in Senior School.

Dulwich College Suzhou is academically selective and follows an enhanced British and international curriculum, adapted for the needs of our international student body.

Across Primary School there is an inquiry enhanced British Curriculum. Students in Years 10 and 11 follow the IGSCE curriculum and the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) or IB Career related Program (IBCP) in Years 12 and 13. Our graduates go on to study at leading universities in the UK, USA, Canada, Korea, and around the world. Our average IB results for the Class of 2022/23 is 38.4 with a 100% pass rate and 45% of our students scoring between 40 - 45. One of the most formidable statistics here is having the highest amount of bilingual diplomas in the group, showing how skilful our college is in supporting children of non-native level English speakers. This reflects why we are the first school in Asia to achieve ‘Language Friendly School’ certification. In 2023 two of our students attained ‘Top of the World’ IGCSE marks in Additional Mathematics and Chinese as a Second Language.

The primary teaching language is English, with a dual language approach in Mandarin and English in the early years (ages 2 to 7). To ensure our students will thrive, we assess the level of English of non-native level speakers before an admissions decision is made. Our Mandarin programme is streamed and caters to all abilities. In addition, we understand that language and culture are integral to the identity of our students. We ensure that our learning environments are inclusive, honouring the diverse language backgrounds of all of our students.

Our academic curriculum is complemented by rich co-curricular programmes. We prioritise holistic education and academic excellence, tradition & innovation, sustainability, and community.
