Dehong Shanghai International Chinese School opened on 1 September 2017 in the Qizhong villa area of Maqiao, Minhang District, Shanghai. The campus delivers a twelve-year education (Grade 1–12) that blends the Chinese National Curriculum with international elements, guided by Dehong's holistic, inquiry-based framework and the Dulwich College International pedagogical approach. The school emphasises bilingual education, with roughly 50% Chinese-medium and 50% English-medium teaching in Elementary and Middle School, and a shift to predominantly English instruction (about 85% of teaching and learning in English) from Grade 10 onward to support global university pathways. The Dehong curriculum consists of three strands: the CNC content, extended inquiry-based learning (including STEAM, SE21, service, sustainability, and cultural activities), and the international perspectives offered through Dulwich-inspired practice. The enrichment programme (Qidi) covers Humanities, Visual and Performing Arts, Entrepreneurial Practice, Sports, and Music, and the school participates in Worldwise events that connect students with a global network. The campus is designed to support language development, cross-cultural understanding and holistic growth.
