Dehong Shanghai shares facilities with Dulwich College Shanghai Minhang, creating a campus designed to support both Chinese national curriculum elements and international Dulwich pedagogy. The campus features a 50‑meter swimming pool, a 500‑seat theatre with a black box room, STEM classrooms, and a modern dining area, all supported by three gymnasia. The Phase II expansion adds MakerSpace, SE21 learning spaces, and age‑appropriate bilingual libraries to strengthen project‑based and collaborative learning. Outdoor courtyards and landscaped spaces connect indoor classrooms with the garden‑style campus, enhancing opportunities for outdoor and inquiry‑based learning. Together, the facilities underpin a holistic program that includes science labs, visual and performing arts spaces and robust technology resources.

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.
