10 years of Dalton International in China.

The school brochure of Shenzhen Dalton Xinhua School has been published this month. The school has made a reportage from a history of Dalton International in China celebrating a decade of existence. Apart from the brochure, the school has made a special room in the school building with an exhibition of the development of Dalton International in mainland China. It all started with one philosophy in mind “Combining Dalton education with Chinese Characters”. Two senior Dalton consultants: Roel Röhner and Hans Wenke reintroduced Dalton education after few decades of absence. The Dalton education is flourishing now in mainland China enormously. This includes early childhood education, which has experienced frequent change since the first International Dalton School- Xinhua Dalton School was opened. As a developing philosophy, Dalton education is growing in China not only in the primary education, but also in secondary schools. The Dalton education was first introduced in China over 100 years ago yet remain underdeveloped until 2000’s. Dalton education gained in popularity in mainland China at the beginning of the XIst century. Due to the internal changes and challenges that took place, the idea of Helen Parkhurst is continuously growing and spread by the consultants of Dalton International: Roel Röhner, Paul Bruijn and Agata Röhner. We are proud to spread the Dalton educational philosophy for more than a decade in mainland China. We are continuously exploring and integrating worldwide resources to set a standard for school education internationalization. Today, we would like to wish all International Dalton Schools and International Dalton Schools in progress a meaningful celebration and a good start of the New Dalton School Year. The future starts already now.
