Dulwich College Beijing (DCB) was founded
in August 2004 when it merged with the pre-existing International
Montessori School of Beijing. DCB is co-educational, non-denominational
and committed to the highest standards of 21st century education.
Set in a combination of pre-exiting and brand new facilities, it
provides the Montessori Programme in the Early Years classes and
then adheres to the English National Curriculum from Year 2 leading
to IGCSE in Years 10 and 11 and the International Baccalaureate
(IB) diploma programme in Years 12 and 13. DCB's campuses (Beijing
Riviera, River Garden and Sanlitun) are situated in the Chaoyang
District of Beijing, China. The curriculum is based on the best
practices of UK and international systems providing a broad and
balanced education with the required specialization in later years.
The language of instruction throughout the school is English and
the school's policy is to recruit fully qualified, native English-speaking
teachers, with experience of the Montessori Programme for the Early
Years programme and the British National Curriculum and other international
systems for Years 2 and above. Mandarin language tuition is an integral
part of the DCB curriculum, with timetabled lessons for each class
daily. Under the auspices and guidance of the renowned Dulwich College,
London the curriculum development of DCB has been professionally
monitored and assessed according to demanding criteria. Dulwich
