Academic Framework
The Dehong curriculum consists of three interconnected, supporting strands:
- The compulsory years curriculum of the People's Republic of China.
- A holistic, inquiry and skills-based curriculum.
- The Dulwich Difference, a high-quality holistic education which builds on 400 years of educational innovation and excellence.
The compulsory programme follows the highly regarded Chinese National Curriculum, teaching some subjects through the medium of Chinese and others English.
