At Dalton, we refer to the local stream as the “Glocal Stream,” a unique blend of local and global elements with a strong emphasis on triliteracy and four languages: Cantonese, English, Mandarin, and Spanish.

Our curriculum is anchored in local educational standards, but it is deeply enriched by the Dalton Plan’s educational philosophy, centered around four key principles: independence, collaboration, responsibility, and reflection. These principles guide students in managing their academic and personal development. As a leading private school in Hong Kong, we are committed to providing students with a well-rounded, culturally diverse education that prepares them for a global future.

In our Glocal Stream, we adapt the Dalton Plan to balance the rigorous requirements of the local curriculum while embracing its progressive elements that can only be found in a private school. The Lesson and House systems remain central to our approach, while Assignments and Lab activities are integrated in smaller doses. This ensures that students meet local academic standards without sacrificing the innovative spirit of the Dalton Plan.

Beyond the core curriculum, we also offer experiential learning, global citizenship education, positive psychology, and project-based learning. Our ultimate goal is to equip students with the critical thinking skills and global perspective they need to thrive in the 21st century. These principles not only guide our students but also set us apart as a progressive private school dedicated to holistic growth and personal development.

As we continue to refine the local stream in collaboration with educators, we aim to positively influence the local educational landscape and create a future-ready private school environment for Hong Kong students.
