Because confidence matters
|
| Gerry Holden Headmaster of private day and boarding school Dover College |
As parents, we all share the same ambitions for our children. Will my daughter be happy? Will my son do well in exams? Will my children have the opportunities to excel in what they enjoy most: be it on the stage, in the art studio or on the sports fields?
At Dover College, we develop children who are confident but not arrogant; who know how to hold a mature conversation with adults and who respond positively to the challenges facing them. Our children leave us at the end of this journey, having benefited from a truly international educational setting, ready to enjoy the excitement of further education and well equipped to find that vital balance between work and recreation.
This website can only give you a brief flavour of what we feel passionate about and there is no substitute for visiting the college on a working day, being taken round by a pupil who has similar interests to your son or daughter and meeting my excellent colleagues and witness the happy and caring environment in which our pupils thrive.
You will find a school which makes excellent use of its beautiful 12th century setting in a green oasis in the heart of Dover; just an hour from London. You will see small classes and co-curricular activities which enrich our pupils' academic experience and self-esteem and, of course, you will discover a school where mutual respect and a love of learning are central to our students' daily existence.
If you are looking for a school where pupils' confidence is developed in equal measure both inside and outside the classroom, then I Iook forward to meeting you and sharing with you the Dover College experience…… because confidence matters.
With warm best wishes,
Gerry Holden
