Dehong International Chinese Schools are sister schools to Dulwich College International schools. Their shared vision is to create the best schools in the world. For Dehong, this means creating the best international Chinese schools.

Dehong Xi'an

Dehong Xi'an is a sister school to the highly regarded Dulwich College International schools. Dehong provides a bi-lingual, bi-cultural education for Chinese students. A progressive approach incorporates both the academically rigorous Chinese national curriculum and inquiry-based English learning, building international mindedness with a strong focus on well-being and commitment to service and sustainability. Being part of a Dehong school is a culturally immersive experience paired with the diverse opportunities, for both students and staff, accessed through sister schools in the established Dulwich College International network. Dehong Xi'an is the third of the schools to open and the facilities are superb. The buildings and facilities are purpose-designed and developed by one of Xi'an's leading developers. The campus plot is surrounded by high-end residential condominiums.

Living and Working in Xi'an

Xi'an is an historic former ancient capital of the People's Republic of China. Famed as the start of the Silk Road and as home of the Terracotta Warriors. It is considered one of the cultural heartlands of China. This is an immensely varied and interesting city with a rich history. This modern city has a population of over 12 million persons and is the commercial and cultural heart of the surrounding Shaanxi Province. Xi'an has historically been a cross-roads city, both within China, and for traders from across the Asian continent. As such, it provides a wide variety of architectural styles, historical sites, culinary tastes and lifestyle experiences.
