Thank you for taking the time to visit our website.

Small is beautiful! The values of the family run through Dover College, with small class sizes that allow us to nurture confidence, inspire curiosity, and celebrate every individual’s success.

We are academically ambitious. By taking the time to truly understand each child, we strike the perfect balance of challenge and support tailored to their needs. This personalised approach ensures that every pupil achieves their personal best, and we take great pride in celebrating successes that reflect their unique potential. You can explore elsewhere on this site how this philosophy has lifted our public examination results. 

We think differently. Our distinctive curriculum, which seamlessly connects Early Years through to Sixth Form, focuses not only on achieving excellent excellence but also on cultivating inquisitive and creative minds ready to embrace future challenges. As a proud member of the Round Square organisation – comprising 150 schools worldwide – we are committed to providing an all-round education rooted in their core values: internationalism, democracy, care for the environment, adventure, leadership and service. Our pupils thrive in sport, music, and drama, building skills in leadership, teamwork, and self-confidence.

We are international and local. We welcome pupils from across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. We embrace diversity and foster a global outlook. Our inclusive community encourages pupils to be open-minded, empathetic, and outward-looking citizens of the world.

We also excel in preparing pupils for life beyond Dover College. From exceptional university and careers advice to our strong alumni and Old Dovorian network, we support our pupils every step of the way. 

We would be delighted to welcome you in person! Conveniently located just two minutes from Dover Port, one hour by train from London, and around 90 minutes by car from Gatwick, Stansted, and Heathrow airports, we are easily accessible. My team and I promise you a very warm welcome and an opportunity to experience what makes Dover College so special.
