Dalton School Hong Kong (DSHK; traditional Chinese: 香港道爾頓學校; simplified Chinese: 香港道尔顿学校) is a non-profit, private independent primary school which offers dual-language education in English and Putonghua, following the Dalton Plan.




History


DSHK was established in August 2017 at 10 Hoi Fai Road, Kowloon, by its school sponsoring body, the Dalton Foundation. The effort was backed by the China Everbright Charitable Fund, Sun Hung Kai & Co. Foundation, CITIC Group's Capital Charitable Fund, and Value Partners.

In September 2023, the Dalton Foundation and the Dominican Missions announced that DSHK would assume stewardship of Rosaryhill School Kindergarten and Primary School starting from the 2024/25 school year. Following the integration, DSHK offers both local and international curriculums at the new campus on 41B Stubbs Road, Mid-Levels, Hong Kong, providing a through-train education from playgroup through to Grade 12.




Admission


Dalton School Hong Kong operates independently of the Education Bureau’s Primary One Admission System (POA), requiring parents to apply directly to the school. Applications are accepted from students of all nationalities, religious beliefs, and ethnic backgrounds. The school also accepts students with Special Educational Needs (SEN).




Curriculum


The curriculum follows the Dalton Plan, which emphasizes individualized learning. The international stream provides dual-language education in English and Putonghua and follows the U.S. Common Core standards. For the Chinese curriculum, DSHK collaborates with Tsinghua University Primary School (THPS), utilizing their curriculum and teaching materials. The local stream (being referred to as "Glocal", encompassing both local and global elements) emphasizes triliteracy in four languages (Cantonese, Mandarin, English, and Spanish), as well as whole-child development and students' well-being. Both streams adopt project-based learning and aim at equipping students to be 21st century critical thinkers.




Campus


The new campus on Stubbs Road houses their playgroup miniDalton, kindergarten Little Dalton and primary/secondary school DSHK. International and local streams’ students and staff can leverage the collective campus facilities for stream-specific and collaborative activities.




Students


Dalton School Hong Kong instructs students in both English and Putonghua, with class sizes ranging from 18 to 20 students, resulting in a teacher-student ratio of 8:1. The student body comprises 20 different nationalities, with 40% non-local students.
