EDUCATION IN ASSOCIATION WITH Dover School for All Nations Dover School for All Nations (DSFAN) is an Independent Private Christian School based in Whitfield, Dover for ages 3 to 18 ranging from Pre-School up to College and University acceptance. DSFAN teach Christ-centred curriculums that mentor and equip well-balanced students in a supportive, loving and caring environment. We provide high quality international education in English for both local students from Whitfield, Dover, Folkestone, Hythe, Canterbury, Deal, Walmer as well as those from diverse cultures in Europe and the nations beyond. Our education is holistic and develops and equips our studentsí ethical values, morals and standards, academic talents, practical skills, creative and sport talents, entrepreneurship, business and financial skills as well as social etiquette. Tuition is personalised and teacher to student rations donít exceed 1:10. DSFAN use the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) curriculum as foundation which is supplemented with the national curriculum during afternoon lessons. Tuition is mastery based and students are taught to set and achieve own goals and daily work at their own pace. DSFAN recently received its Department of Education (Ofsted) registration and plan to grow to 245 students by 2019 and will provide boarding accommodation for up to 75 students in the near future. The first boarding house for 12 students (private rooms with en- suite facilities) and house parents is scheduled for occupation by September 2014. We are a fully e-integrated school and offer hybrid curriculum options including the International Christian Certificate of Education (ICCE) and OCR A-Levels (National Curriculum). A benchmarking study by UK NARIC has 48 confirmed that the ICCE General and Advanced Certificates can be considered comparable to the overall Cambridge International O and A Level standard respectively. DSFAN also desires registration to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma within two years. Pre-School students 3-5 years qualify for the government free 15 hourís tuition p.w. whilst for day students, fees are a fraction of ordinary private schools.
