College Development Plan
Every year a reflective process takes place to decide on the next set of strategic priorities for the upcoming academic year. During the process, we review various data points from all the departments across the College, look at the DCB community feedback from the CIS Community Survey, the DCI annual survey, and refer to the Dulwich College International Strategic Priorities.
DCB’s guiding statements serve as the compass when the College Leadership Team review and decide on the strategic priorities for the year, and DCB’s five pillars of holistic education form the foundation of the College Development Plan.
DCB’s College Development Plan for the academic year of 2023-24 is based around three categories: Learning & Teaching, Global Citizenship, and Community. DCB is known for striving for excellence and it is these next steps that will drive our next wave of improvement.
