Students are supported by excellent teaching and their attitudes to learning are exemplary. Last year the College won a British International School Award for Teaching Initiative and a Corporate Social Responsibility Award. The School’s philosophy draws on 400 years of experience in education from the founding and partner school, Dulwich College in London.
