"Dover Court has been a phenomenal place to work - both times! In the<br />

early days, I would describe Dover Court Preparatory School as a sleepy<br />

little international school, a lovely place with an outstanding set of highly<br />

committed staff. I loved it and that is what brought me back for a second<br />

helping. Now, whilst still a lovely place with a truly amazing staff, <strong>DCIS</strong> is<br />

a bustling community of active educators and students with no sign of<br />

our sleepy past!<br />

Since 2015, the school has ploughed forward in every way. While I am<br />

proud of what the school has achieved, I am equally proud of what it has<br />

retained from its past, the sense of community and belonging, and the<br />

emphasis on celebrating our diversity. Happy times - twice!"<br />

"I have been a student at Dover Court for almost 12 years. I am currently<br />

in year 10 and I am proud to have been a part of the school’s history.<br />

Dover has helped me in many ways over the years. It has helped me to<br />

learn new things and has inspired me to be curious. It has helped me to<br />

overcome challenges and adversities and helped me with important<br />

steps such as my GCSE choices and career guidance. It has also helped<br />

me recognise and appreciate different perspectives, cultures, and<br />

neurodiversity that I feel I would not have benefited from in other<br />

environments. I have witnessed Dover Court’s popularity grow in<br />

Singapore and become a bigger school with many more students and<br />

opportunities, however it has always kept that personal touch and<br />

sense of inclusion that I remember as a newbie in nursery. I hope this<br />

continues long after I have left."<br />
