The High School

Dulwich International High School Zhuhai caters primarily for the Chinese community, but also attracts students of other nationalities. All students who join us do so with the intention of studying overseas on completion of their A-Level studies. We currently have seven different nationalities within the School and the number of non-PRC students within our ranks has grown year on year. Unlike other Colleges within the Dulwich family, Dulwich Zhuhai is not a K-18 school but a senior high school for 14 - 19 year olds.

Drawing on the best practices of both British and International education, the High School follows the (I)GCSE curriculum in Years 10 and 11 and the A-Level curriculum in Years 12 and 13. The curriculum is suitably adapted to reflect the needs of students in an international school and extends well beyond the formal classroom into extra-curricular activities. Dulwich International High School Zhuhai is academically selective, with a strong emphasis on English language proficiency.

The High School is located on a very attractive site at the heart of Huafa New Town, Zhuhai’s most exclusive neighbourhood. Many expatriate teachers choose to live in the Huafa New Town complex resulting in a 5-10 minute walk to work. The site is shared between Dulwich Zhuhai and Yung Wing primary school and benefits from a full size astro-turf football pitch, 3 basketball courts and numerous other sports facilities. All classrooms are equipped with up-to-date technology.
