DCIS is one of the leading inclusive British International Schools in Southeast Asia. Our school boasts a vibrant and close-knit community where everyone is made to feel welcome. We are proud to offer an outstanding personalised education in a truly inclusive and international environment. Our students follow the English curriculum to iGCSE and thereafter study the IB Diploma Programme. Students who do not speak English as their first language can access additional support through our English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme. Our learning pathway system and specialist educators, therapists and counsellors ensure that we provide a supportive education for students with additional learning needs.
“The best part about being a student at Dover Court is the genuine welcoming and kind nature of every individual. The students and teachers offer such an inclusive environment that allows students to share and explore new ideas and perspectives with classmates and teachers alike. Friendships and bonds are easy to make and truly enhance the entire learning experience."
- Teagan Black, Year 12
“One of the best things about Dover Court is the support I receive from the people I am surrounded with. I have a great relationship with my peers and teachers, and I am able to express myself in multiple ways. My favourite subjects are, without doubt, mathematics and physics. I love learning about how much there is in this world we don’t know about."
- Manaswi Patil, Year 13
“Our two children who are in Upper Primary have been coming to DCIS for 6 years now. They are both extremely happy and they continue to develop through the relevant and inspirational teaching. There is a wonderful feeling of community within the school and this adds to their confidence and security. I have always been so impressed with the teachers, not only are they wonderful role models but they also show the children what it is to have fun whilst illustrating respect and integrity at all times. This is emphasized further when they have had the opportunity to travel with the school on the various residential or sports trips."
