2 to U: Learning Pathways from Toddler to University

While Dulwich College is known for developing well-rounded students who go on to study in top universities around the world, this process doesn’t  just start in Senior School. Our curriculum is designed in a cohesive manner, starting with our 2-year-old Toddler students all the way through to the IB Diploma Programme. This ensures that throughout their time in the College, our students are developing the skills, knowledge and motivation to make a positive difference in the world, allowing them to Graduate Worldwise. IB Coordinator, Mr Brown, explains the importance of these pathways, and how we are setting our students up for success in the IB Diploma Programme: 

To be successful IB Diploma Programme students, we need learners who are self-motivated and driven to succeed. But the definition of academic success is changing rapidly with the automation and digitization of society. Academic success today and looks very different to academic success from 30 years ago.

Today's university entrants need to balance risk-taking with principled behaviour. They need to be social learners and they need to be problem-solvers rather than just be able to recite facts or follow instructions. They need to break complex problems down into simpler parts and then develop methods to solve those parts.  They need to connect knowledge from disparate areas into new ways of working. And they need to be able to do this alone or in a group.

The Early Years Characteristics of Effective Learning and the Primary Learn to Learn Skills align strongly with the IB Learner Profiles and help develop the skills and dispositions that students will require to be successful in the IB Diploma Programme.

As IB Diploma Programme Coordinator, I'm excited to see these young learners develop the skills that they need for learning at such a young age. It can only mean success later on in life.
