School History & Details

Ernest E. Alliott founded Dover Court International School in 1972 as Dover Court Preparatory School. Dover Court Preparatory School was started by his wife Margaret Elliott, the school's administrator, in response to a lack of school spaces for students under the age of 13. The International Preparatory Schools (Pte) Ltd, subsequently known as Dover Court Preparatory School (Pte) Ltd, was the organization that originally registered Dover Court Preparatory School with Singapore's Ministry of Education in 1972. Elliott, who had previously served as a British Government Headmaster in Singapore, founded both the school and the firm, both of which were established in April 1971.

The campus was founded on Dover Road in April 1972 and was housed in the 1952-built Officer's Mess of the Royal Corps of Signals and afterward the Mess of the 2nd-10th Princess Mary's Own Regiment. Although the school initially had just 25 pupils enrolled, the site was reused after the British troops left Singapore in 1971 and the former mess, a three-story structure, was rebuilt into classrooms appropriate for 450 students. The elementary school building, one of the original structures from the previous military installation, still bears the crest of the Royal Corps of Signals.

    School Values

  • Diversity
  • Confidence
  • Critical Thinking
  • Consciousness

    • The school values diversity; our uniqueness is determined by our differences, and when we work as a team, we can accomplish more. There is more to it than meets the eye, much like every part of our purpose. Each component exposes a lot more if we give it some thought, according to the theory.
