From our Principal

We believe in the transformative power of education. As Plato said, “Education is not the filling of a vessel, but the lighting of a fire.” We aim to ignite that spark within every student — to light the way forward with curiosity and courage.
Dear Students, Parents, and Members of the Dehong Community,
Welcome to Dehong Beijing, a warm and vibrant educational community. As a proud member of Dulwich College International, we steadfastly uphold our vision of " Rooted in China, Connected to the world," committed to nurturing future citizens with both cultural confidence and global competence. We go beyond academic excellence to foster each student’s inner growth - helping them build self-awareness and enduring passion for learning while acquiring knowledge. We will enable students to understand the world, and to participate in shaping it.
As Confucius said, "They who know the truth are not equal to those who love it, and they who love it are not equal to those who delight in it." We prioritize igniting students' joy of learning over rote memorization.
In Dehong classrooms, you'll witness sparks of wisdom in intellectual debates, cross-cultural understanding through meaningful exchanges, and leadership skills honed through practical projects.
We are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment that celebrates individuality, a culture that encourages free expression and an educational home where every child belongs.
John Dewey reminded us that "Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself."
At Beijing Dehong, we are building a learning space combining academic rigor with innovative vitality, an educational platform bridging cultural heritage and global frontiers, and fertile ground where potential blossoms and futures take shape.
Let us work together to establish Beijing Dehong as a paradigm of international education! Thank you for being an integral part of this remarkable journey a warm welcome to our DehongBeijing family!
Coco Fan, Executive Principal of Dehong Beijing International Chinese School
