Dulwich College Seoul inaugurated its purposefully designed facility in September 2010, featuring cutting-edge educational resources in the vibrant heart of one of Asia's most energetic cities. The College has grown to offer a continuous educational journey for 720 students, ranging from Nursery (age 3) to Year 13 (age 18), fostering comprehensive development across intellectual, physical, creative, and social dimensions. Dulwich promotes high standards of academic, athletic, and artistic achievement within an international context, while also appreciating the diverse cultural heritage of its host nation. The student body reflects a rich tapestry of 47 nationalities. As a full member of both the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), Dulwich College Seoul is recognized for its quality education. The College serves as an accredited CIE and EdExcel exam center, offering an extensive array of IGCSE courses in Seoul. Since September 2015, it has also been an authorized IB World School, providing the IB Diploma Programme. The College places strong emphasis on cultivating well-rounded individuals who are eager learners and responsible citizens in a rapidly evolving world. Dulwich operates as a ‘learning community’ where educators apply learning theories and action research to drive innovation. The curriculum is founded on an enhanced version of the English Early Years Foundation Stage framework and National Curriculum, tailored to accommodate the school's diverse demographic. Mandarin is a compulsory and prominent subject across the College, featuring a flexible curriculum that caters to students from beginners to those who are bilingual. The co-curricular offerings at the College are impressively robust. Music, art, and sports flourish, with frequent competitive fixtures, concerts, and theatrical productions. Staff members are expected to actively participate in the co-curricular program, and students from Primary (beginning in Year 1) and Senior Schools are encouraged to engage. Educational excursions and residential trips, termed ‘adventurous journeys,’ are integral to the curriculum and included within the school fees. Nestled in a delightful part of Seoul, the campus is situated among a variety of churches, schools, and convenient shops, creating a community atmosphere reminiscent of a Dulwich Village in Seoul. The school is equipped with excellent resources and facilities for both Primary and Senior School students. Every classroom features either a digital projector or an interactive TV, and specialist facilities include art rooms, science laboratories, a computer science room, a gymnasium, rooftop sports and recreation areas, an indoor swimming pool, a black box room, libraries, outdoor play areas, a low-ropes challenge course, an all-weather sports field, a purpose-built theater, and dedicated music suites. With a legacy of 400 years in education, Dulwich College, our founding institution in London, provides invaluable expertise, resources, and a rigorous academic framework that we uphold. Additionally, our connections with a network of schools in China, Indonesia (Bali), the UK, Singapore, and Thailand enhance our access to resources and promote professional learning and development. Alongside the strong career opportunities available at Dulwich College Seoul, educators are well-positioned to transition to other Colleges within our network, gaining the chance to work abroad while remaining part of the Dulwich family. Our vision of becoming ‘One Family of Schools’ facilitates participation in group-wide events such as the Dulwich Olympiad, WorldWise Games, WorldWise Festival of Music, MADD (Music, Art, Drama, Dance), Shackleton Lecture, Shakespeare Festival, and Diversity visits. Teachers are primarily recruited from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, North America, and international schools globally. The compensation package is competitive, offering excellent housing, comprehensive medical coverage, and additional benefits, including freight allowances, annual flights, and living expenses, along with free tuition for up to two children. Seoul is a city at the forefront of technological advancement, while still embracing its vibrant historical traditions, providing a clean environment for a large metropolis. The city frequently hosts world-class events in sports, music, and the arts. Located in Seocho District, just south of the Han River, the school is conveniently accessible to numerous attractions and is well-supported by affordable, efficient public transportation. Residents can enjoy a high quality of life, discover lesser-known attractions of a country often overlooked by mass tourism, and serve as an ideal gateway to visit China, Japan, and other neighboring Asian countries.
