Hangzhou Dipont School of Arts and Science

The school is in Hangzhou's Future Sci‑Tech City (Yuhang District), at No.1 Guowen Road — a newer tech and residential area whose campus is set amid landscaped areas (tea fields and bamboo are referenced on the site). Future Sci‑Tech City is served by Hangzhou metro lines and major roads, so the area has public-transport links to the city; check local metro maps for the nearest station to the campus.

The school is organised into four main sections: a bilingual Kindergarten (ages about 3–6), Primary and Junior High (Grades 1–9, roughly ages 7–15) and Senior High (Grades 10–12, ages ~16–18); the site also describes an International School provision covering ages 3–18.

The school is co‑educational and operates a mixed Chinese/international provision (Chinese national curriculum elements integrated with international programmes). Boarding accommodation is available and boarding is a central part of school life from Grade 7 upward.

Pastoral care and a tutor/house system are highlighted as the main routes for supporting students' emotional, social and academic development; the school's pastoral leadership includes staff with experience supporting pupils with special needs. For specific additional‑learning‑needs (SEN) provision or assessments, the admissions team recommends direct contact so the school can describe individual arrangements.

The school was founded through a partnership between Dipont Education, China's RDFZ Group and King's College School, Wimbledon (UK), so it has both Chinese and British institutional links.

The school does not present a religious affiliation on its website; its published materials describe a secular, bilingual/international educational programme.

The daily timetable differs by section (kindergarten, primary/junior, senior) and teaching is organised around those sections with bilingual/co‑taught lessons described for early years and primary. The website does not publish a single, fixed start‑and‑finish time for all sections; parents should request the exact daily schedule for the relevant age group from admissions.

The school has operated dedicated school‑bus routes (a news post noted eight routes when they were introduced) and has previously described careful route and safety planning; however the website does not list current routes or the carrier. Parents should contact admissions for up‑to‑date route maps, pickup points, seat availability and any transport fees.
