Set in the highly desirable ‘village’ of Dulwich, the College has played a prominent role in education for over 400 years. Their philosophy of ‘adventurous engagement’ in all areas of school life has led to a strong tradition of academic excellence, encouraging pupils to think independently and extend themselves way beyond exam preparation. With a Liberal Studies and a university-style electives programme on offer, Dulwich boys are particularly well-prepared for the critical thinking and academic demands required by top universities. The academic provision is complemented by a vibrant co-curricular programme, providing opportunities in sports, the arts, notably Music and Drama and community volunteering. Places are highly sought after by families across London and while the diverse pupil body is mainly local, international boarders are increasingly adding a global dimension.
