The Prep and Junior Schools, with around 350 pupils, play a key role in providing an outstanding educational experience. The Prep School consists of ten classes (two parallel groups from P1 to P5), while the Junior School is housed in its own dedicated building, comprising seven classes. Junior 1 and Junior 2 (P6 and P7) are important entry stages that prepare pupils for a seamless transition to our Senior School. This approach is part of our commitment to offering curricular continuity from age 5 through to 18, benefiting learners with consistent academic progression.
Younger pupils at Dollar receive a strong foundation in core subjects, complemented by specialist lessons in Art, Music, PE, Home Economics, and Technology delivered by Senior School staff. From Prep 1, pupils begin interacting with Senior School teachers, ensuring that by the time they finish Junior 2, they are well-prepared for the academic challenges of Senior School, familiar with senior learning environments, and already acquainted with several Senior School teachers.
The Dollar Academy values of Work Hard, Get Involved and Be Kind are intertwined in all that we do as we aim to inspire our pupils to be confident, compassionate and engaged citizens who are prepared to have a positive impact on the world around them.
We invite applications from passionate and qualified teachers interested in contributing to our vibrant learning environment.
