Vision

An institution of excellence which nurtures ethical change-makers.

Mission

We are committed to instilling in our students the Five Fundamental Values of: Discernment in our choice of right
from what is not, Discipline in mind, fitness and conduct, Daring to experiment and forge breakthroughs,
Determination to succeed in all that we do And Duty To serve and better our school, community and nation.

Philosophy

As a high-performing Autonomous School, our value proposition is Dunman Aspires, Builds and Cares. We Aspire to be better than we ever imagined we could be. We believe in each child's different abilities and his potential to become an inquiring and independent learner who owns his learning outcomes. We Build people as we are one community. We provide a rigorous and holistic education which nurtures students to excel in lifelong learning. We dare to be innovative and challenge our students and staff to do things differently. We place a premium on character development and positive teacher-student relationships. Together with the strong partnerships forged with parents and stakeholders, we believe that our high-care, high-expectations approach to nurturing the child will develop the necessary skills. We Care by giving back to others, through instilling in students values and character that will essentially shape them into well-rounded and contributing members of society.

Sdp

As the East Zone Centre of Excellence for Innovations in Science, the school has a high-end Life Sciences Research Centre and an exciting Life Science Programme. Students who are talented in Mathematics, Sciences and Design have the opportunity to join the Talent Development Programme, and to participate in international Olympiads. We provide a vibrant school-based curriculum such as MEDAL, which integrates Music, English and Literature. Students also undergo an ICT-driven Science Project Work where they work collaboratively and independently to create Mathematics and Science-themed Apps. Some of these Apps have been featured in the iTunes store. Our robust Character and Citizenship Education Programme provides students with leadership opportunities, and overseas immersion experiences to develop global perspectives. Our vibrant Values-in-Action programme enables students to serve the community and society at large. The school is one of the five pilot schools selected by MOE to implement a total curriculum infusing the teaching of 21st century competencies. The Dunman All-Round Excellence (DARE) Framework undergirds our focus on holistic education to nurture ethical change-makers.
