Dover Court International School

Dover Court (Nord Anglia) is one of the first names expat parents hear when a child needs structured learning support alongside an English National Curriculum / IGCSE / IB pathway. Forum threads on relocating with autism / SEN repeatedly shortlist Dover Court beside SAS — and warn that Pathway / support seats are capacity-constrained with multi-month waits in peak years. Admissions typically require Dependant Pass, LTVP, Immigration Exemption Order, PR, or citizenship with MOE exemption — Student’s Pass enrolment is not supported. Pathway 2/3 supportive education needs specialist reports and school assessment; Singapore Citizens need MOE approval, which is discretionary. Bring current psychological / paediatric documentation and ask admissions for written confirmation of the pathway they can staff this academic year before you resign overseas. Do not treat local Pathlight-style SPED as a foreigner fallback. Ask admissions for contracted bus cut-offs on CCA and half-days; dual EP households fail more on dismissal cliffs than on curriculum fit. Ask how winter-fair / bazaar volunteer shifts are scheduled for dual-career households, and whether medical return-to-swim notes are accepted from GP vs ENT. Dual-career note: campus tours are hard calendar blocks — book slots early and cap deposit decisions after a written fee-stack note.
