Dulwich College Bangkok offers a comprehensive curriculum grounded in the English National Curriculum, tailored for an international student body. The school is set to open in August 2026, initially accommodating students from Nursery to Year 6, with plans to expand to Year 12 by 2029.

Early Years (DUCKS): For children aged 3 to 7, the Early Years Foundation Stage framework emphasizes play-based learning, focusing on personal, social, and emotional development, communication, language skills, and physical movement. Specialist lessons in music, library, and physical education are integrated weekly.

Junior School (Years 3–6): Students aged 7 to 11 follow an enhanced version of the English National Curriculum, incorporating core subjects like English, mathematics, and science, alongside foundation subjects such as art and design, computing, geography, history, music, and physical education. The curriculum is designed to encourage deep understanding and creativity.

Senior School (Years 7–13): Planned to commence in 2029, the Senior School will continue with the English National Curriculum in Years 7 to 9, leading to IGCSE examinations in Years 10 and 11. For Years 12 and 13, students will have the option to pursue either the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) or A-levels, providing pathways to global higher education institutions.

Throughout all stages, the curriculum is enriched with opportunities in sports, performing arts, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), fostering a well-rounded educational experience.

The school fosters a growth mindset through its pedagogy, assessment strategies, and inquiry-based learning models. A supportive environment is created through integrated systems that focus on individual development, abilities, and interests, ensuring mutual care and concern from all staff members.

Dulwich College International schools provide support for students with diagnosed learning difficulties. At Dulwich College in London, for instance, a team of qualified teachers offers individualised support across various age groups.

Students entering the school and requiring English as an Additional Language support will be supported individually and within small groups, dependant on the level of support required. At the time of admission the EAL needs of each student will be assessed and confirmation of provision can be shared.

This framework is embedded in both the curriculum and co-curricular programs, ensuring students receive comprehensive support for their mental wellbeing.

All staff undergo rigorous recruitment checks and participate in regular safeguarding training. The policy is reviewed annually to ensure the safety and wellbeing of every student.

In May 2024, Education in Motion (EiM), the parent organization of DCI, partnered with Sakol Sathapat, a Thailand-based developer, to establish Dulwich College Bangkok. The school is scheduled to open in August 2026 in the Bang Na district of Bangkok.
