Dover and East Campuses
Two Unique Learning Environments
Both UWCSEA East and Dover campuses offer highly specialised environments tailored to deliver the holistic learning programme of Academics, Activities, Outdoor Education, Personal and Social Education, and Service.
UWCSEA is the only international school in Singapore to provide on-site residential boarding for students in Grades 9 to 12.
While each campus has its own unique identity, your child will receive the same calibre of education, language support, outdoor learning opportunities, and university advising at both our campuses.
