About Us
Founded in 2015, we’re proud to have welcomed over 30,000 students (and counting!) to our programmes.
Our History
Dusemond Study Programmes was launched with the guiding view that language learning can, and should be so much more than just classroom exercises, learning grammar and stock phrases. For us, it’s more about culture and people and understanding English as a “living language” and tool for students to connect, communicate and contribute as global citizens.
Our Name
Our name, Dusemond, is a tribute to Valentine Braun – the father of our founder, Rupert.
Valentine was a successful artist who used the name Dusemond on his colourful, impressionistic paintings.
He was also a great traveller and an accomplished language learner – speaking over 6 languages to communicate and make connections in what was a very interesting international life.
We felt his name and story was a fitting representation of the life goals of our programmes.
What we do
At Dusemond, we blend academics, language application, activities, and adventure into enriching short courses for young learners. Our programmes are designed to promote positive life and learning outcomes for every new generation of the global Dusemond Family.
Our Values
Our core values—care, honesty, energy, empathy, respect, and smiles—are reflected in everything we do. You can read more about our commitment to these values and what they mean to us in our values statement.
