Plan
I am not led, I lead.
Centered
and the world is our textbook.
Language
Educate for tomorrow: Bilingual, Biliterate, high academic achievement across all subjects areas in English and Putonghua, and a respect for all cultures.
Use “Benevolence, Virtuous, Propriety, Wisdom and Trustworthiness”as our value system.

How We Do It?
“The Dalton Plan is not a curriculum, it is a scheme of educational reorganization which reconciles the twin activities of teaching and learning. When intelligently applied it creates conditions which enable the teacher to teach and the learner to learn.”
