Dehong International Chinese Schools are designed for Chinese students and offer an academic programme comprising of the Chinese compulsory curriculum combined with the Dulwich College International educational philosophy and pedagogy. 

The name Dehong is made up from the elements of Dewei (the Chinese name of Dulwich) and ‘the father of Chinese overseas students’ Rong Hong (Yung Wing), who is the first-known Chinese student to have graduated from Yale College. He was also a pioneer in supporting Chinese children to study in the United States to reform the country. Additionally, a descendant of Rong Hong (Yung Wing) co-founded Dulwich International College.

Dehong aims to develop citizens of the world who understand traditional Chinese culture and are nurtured to develop an open, inclusive mentality.  The teachers in Dehong International Chinese schools come from multicultural backgrounds and bring rich teaching experiences.  Our core beliefs are that “students come first- they benefit from holistic education”.

The students in Dehong will receive a holistic education which will enable them to become bi-lingual, bi-literate and bi-cultural global citizens. Dehong students will be able to participate in and benefit from the group activities and resources of the DCI network of schools.
