Dalton is a school that thoughtfully reflects on the science behind effective learning in early childhood education. It provides plenty of opportunities for free play and exploration as they understand the evidence that supports ‘play’ as the most important form of learning in children. The school embeds a strong “growth mindset” into its curriculum - they emphasize the process over the results and encourages children to celebrate their mistakes. A unique feature of the school is the 50:50 bilingual teaching of Chinese and English. We value this approach to learning language as it gives our children the opportunity to be fully immersed in the teaching language throughout most subjects depending on the day. The administration and teachers are always dedicated to creating a safe and fruitful learning environment for the children. Through the many fun school events and our overall communications with the school and other parents, we truly feel we are working together as a strong community. Dalton, we feel so fortunate to have found you in Hong Kong!

As a 5th year Dalton parent with 3 children in the school, Dalton has never stopped amazing me by how they care about our children beyond just their academic development. Every teacher goes above and beyond to observe and understand my children’s character, needs and behavior; encourage them to take on challenges and be creative; provide personalized help when needed; respecting individual development and feelings while ensuring discipline was maintained. Teachers were always reachable by parents and very open-minded about suggestions. Dalton gives me total peace of mind that my children are well taken care of and respected at school, and that school isn’t a place of stress and judgement. I have witnessed great improvements at the school year after year, and changes are all for the better of the children and not just for the school itself. Dalton really lives up to its mission of being a “child-centered” school.
