We moved to Singapore from HK and were worried about settling our son into a new school environment, he is thriving at Dover Court! His teachers have been wonderful and he has made a lovely group of friends. His confidence has boosted so much. The individualised approaches to learning has really helped his academic progress and the staff have got to know him very quickly. We could not be happier with our choice of school!

Dover Court International School is a nurturing and caring school where the teachers all have a genuine passion for their student's learning. It is a positive and happy environment where all my children have thrived under the expertise of the staff. There are opportunities for all students no matter their age or ability.

Our daughter joined the school at the start of this year and her transformation in such a short amount of time has been incredible! She came home from her first day of school saying that she "found her place." The teachers have gone out of their way to help her settle in (from an overseas move and different curriculum), she has a great group of friends, and she has been able to take on leadership roles and get involved in ways she couldn't at previous schools. I'm so thankful we found this school - she is the happiest and most engaged we've ever seen her at any previous school!

DCIS is the ONLY school in Singapore with a truly inclusive approach to teaching and educating the whole child. Not only do they provide 3 different pathways to support the child the pastoral element is second to none. You and your child will be fully catered for from a high academic achiever to a child requiring very small class intervention. This is progressive education at its heart!

My two children (G/B) have been students at Dover Court for 5+ years, from Primary through to Upper Secondary so far. I wouldn't have them at any other International School in Singapore. The school has an ethos of seeking to inspire all student to succeed, but I appreciate that they see all students as individuals and recognise excellence as being different in individuals. The academic results bear this out, and my children has been prepared brilliantly to move to top level schools in the UK on our repatriation.

I also appreciate the inclusive nature of the school, which means that neurodiversity is recognised and students are taught in ways that best suit them. It also means that the school's atmosphere is welcoming and one of friendship - not 'exclusive' or cliquey, which is so important when you're relocating and settling into school & a new country can be tricky enough

We have two children in Primary at Dover Court International School and we genuinely love the school. Our kids are happy, confident, and excited to go to school each day, which says everything. The campus has a wonderful atmosphere and there is a genuine sense of joy and purpose among the students.

There is something special about Dover Court that goes beyond academics. The teachers are fantastic and they know the children well, support them when needed, and challenge them at the right level. We feel they truly care about each child as an individual.

The community is another real strength of the school. Families, staff, and students are welcoming and supportive, and we feel very lucky to be part of it.

Love the school environment and community, with inclusion at its heart. It truly feels like a home from home, where students are able to focus on their learning.

We have been part of the Dover Court Community for over 4 years and couldn't be happier for our two boys, they are thriving. It is an absolute pleasure to watch them grow and the opportunities they enjoy everyday. The teachers are very caring, super creative and really support every individual child to develop at their best. My boys often enthusiastically tell me about their current topics they have learnt about in many different ways and they are looking forward to have more trips to experience these topics in even more real life settings.

As parents of two children at DCIS, we feel incredibly happy to be part of a school that offers pathways for all learners. It’s reassuring to know that individual learning needs are understood, valued, and supported with care. The kindness and dedication of the teachers have made such a difference, and it has been wonderful to watch our children settle in so confidently - forming new friendships and building strong connections with both classmates and staff.

The teachers are genuinely caring and really make and effort to know each child as an individual.

The environment is warm, positive and focused on real growth , both academically and emotionally.

DCIS creates a true community spirit where parents are welcomed and involved. I couldn't ask for a better place for her to thrive.

We have been part of the Dover Court community for over ten years, and our decision to join, and to stay, has never been about shiny facilities or grand displays. There is a charm to the Dover Court Campus.

The school offers opportunity and a quality education, but what we believe sets it apart is the atmosphere: a big heart that offers a sense of belonging, combined with great teaching which is why we chose Dover Court all those years ago and why we continue to choose it today.

I love the inclusive nature of Dover Court and it's a very caring and supportive community. My son has made fantastic progress, not just academically but as a person since joining. His teacher is fantastic and he enjoys going to school each day.

A big school with a community feeling. I've been super impressed with how the school have encouraged academic success alongside personal development - even though my kids are both highly academic, they have had lots of opportunities to learn how to be good community members and make life-long friends. They've both represented the school in sports, public speaking and drama events and have had so many incredible opportunities to try new things and travel, etc. with the safety of caring teachers. Support from a pastoral point of view is good and both my children love their school.

DCIS has incredibly committed, passionate and experienced staff who provide both the highest level of learning opportunities alongside the very best pastoral support. They genuinely care about the students, their progress and their wellbeing. My three children have been at the school for seven years and I am proud of the community that we are all part of.

An inclusive, nurturing environment that not only recognises that success looks different for everyone, but also sees each child as an individual and encourages them to pursue their passions and excellence in their own way.

The staff clearly believe in the importance of supporting wellbeing alongside academic rigour, and if you ever get a chance to visit the school, you'll feel this from the moment you walk in. There's a real community feel, despite the size of the school.

Our boys have thrived in the Primary School at DCIS, with wonderful opportunities for learning both within and beyond the classroom, participation in sports and music, and exposure to a diverse student population, in every sense of the word, that mirrors the real world!

My daughter absolutely loves the school! She just started in the IB program 5 months ago, having moved from the US. The teachers have been super supportive and have really helped her transition from the American curriculum. She's been able to jump right in to leadership and other opportunities to get involved. Overall, we're really happy - great teachers, warm community, and happy kid!

Great care and real focus on learning support and diversity.

Fantastic academic improvement while giving social skills an equal weight!

My wife and I are happy to see how quickly our (primary) kids have settled into Dover Court. My boys quickly made friends, started joining birthday parties and taking part in all of the after school activities offered by the school. That was last year, and this year we've been able to connect with even more families at the parent session a few weeks ago. Looking forward to seeing all the amazing progress our kids will make during the upcoming year!

A wonderfully inclusive school that has a very nurturing approach. Every effort is made to support students as individuals and help them develop academically, socially and personally. The school provides a range of courses and qualifications, allowing students to pursue their own areas of strength.

Our young boys love the school and are doing great. The teachers are very caring, passionate and super creative. It always amazes us what they are able to achieve with kids of this young age. Lots of option to try out CCA and a great sense of community

My family and I relocated to Singapore in 2023, we were looking for a school that would tick all of the boxes for our family. We wanted quality education, a close community, and a school that could offer varying levels of support/challenge for our two very different children. As we enter Term 3, we are happy with our school choice. Our kids have enjoyed all of the kids in their classes, and we are in birthday party season! While the move itself was exhausting, our kids like their school and really enjoy their teachers.

Lovely school with amazing and caring teachers. My children love coming to school and are thriving.

School only focus in do business. No good support for online schooling. If you leave the school at middle of term (and the term is paid) no further support to continue or receive info to study alone.

It is an amazing school and the teahers are all kind and amazing. The facilities are amazing. Very inclusive and accepting school.

it is an acceptable school with OK facilities but it fails in other categories like fill in teachers, they generally don't help and get put in categories that is not there strong point and if you do one little slip up as little a spilling some water onto your own bag you may as well not come as they will think of you as a bad student and anything you do will land you in a detention
