Check-in: Writing the First Page of DKIA with Every Stroke

2025.8.31

New students received the exclusive DKIA New Student Gift Package, which included DKIA’s mascot "DIDI the Dolphin", a campus-customized T-shirt, a DKIA waterproof sports backpack, and an exclusive DKIA dolphin luggage tag. Students smiled and took photos of each other as souvenirs; parents whispered reminders by their sides, while teachers greeted everyone warmly. Every frame was filled with the gentle ritual of "first encounter".

For this opening ceremony, Zhang Bowen (Founder of Dipont Education Group), Ma Jiqiang (Founding Principal of DKIA), Zhu Ran (Principal of Zhonghui Senior High School), and the Principal of KCS delivered speeches (with the KCS Principal joining remotely) to jointly celebrate DKIA’s first opening ceremony. Leaders and guests from the three parties (Dipont, Zhonghui, and KCS), along with all teachers, new students and their parents of DKIA, jointly attended this first DKIA ceremony.

Mr. Ma Jiqiang, Founding Principal of DKIA, delivered a welcome speech: Today is not just the start of a new school year; it is the beginning of a legacy — one that will be built by all of us, together. DKIA is a place where students will not only discover who they are, but also what they can do, and what they can become. This school is here to support each student in developing the skills, resilience, and confidence to strive for their best, every day.

Tutor Meeting + Student Orientation: 

Turning Strangeness into Comfort

2025.8.31

After the opening ceremony, new students followed their tutors into classrooms. The tutor team, with a 1:1 ratio of Chinese to foreign teachers, came with pre-prepared ‘student growth’ portfolios and learned about each student’s interests and goals one by one: "Do you like math competitions? We have a professional team for that." "If you have trouble adapting, come talk to me anytime." These warm conversations gradually dissolved the sense of strangeness. During the subsequent student orientation, teachers explained every detail in depth—from campus schedules to course selection guides, and from campus life to academic studies—helping students quickly "unlock" their campus life.

Parent Communication:

 Home-School Collaboration to Build a "Growth Circle"

2025.8.31

The parent communication meeting on the other side was equally warm. The Founding Head and Head of Student Development gave explanations on topics such as "How the Dual-A Curriculum adapts to mixed global university applications" and "How the moral education system cultivates students’ sense of responsibility". Many parents took notes carefully, and some even asked proactive questions: "How does the tutor system follow up on students’ studies?" "What preparations do we need to make in advance for future applications to Oxbridge?" Teachers’ patient answers gave parents more peace of mind about their children’s campus life.

Campus Tour + Canteen Meal: 

Turning the Campus into a "Familiar Home"

2025.8.31

Students followed teachers to visit laboratories, art classrooms, sports fields, the library, and dormitories. When it was time for meals, the canteen’s nutritious set meals filled the air with aroma. Everyone sat around sharing their favorite dishes—from "Which dish do you like?" to "Let’s play basketball together later"—strange classmates gradually became companions walking side by side

A Pact of Original Aspiration: Understanding 

DKIA’s "Educational Strength" from the First Encounter

Here, we have the "global compatibility" of the Dual-A Curriculum: The dual-track system of A-Level and AP courses not only prepares students for top global institutions such as UK’s G5 universities and US’s Ivy League schools but also allows customized course selection plans based on students’ interests—making "mixed global applications" no longer a challenge.

Here, we have a holistic system of "Academics + Pastoral Education": The Student Development Handbook is not just a guide to rules, but a "growth map". From subject inquiry programs to community service practices, and from competition resources to standardized test tutoring, every design aims for the three-dimensional development of "academic ability, personal growth, and social responsibility".

Most importantly, here we have the "warm support" of a high-quality teaching team and tutor system: Our excellent team of Chinese and foreign teachers has an average of 12.5 years of teaching experience, with 80% holding master's or doctoral degrees from overseas. They are not only "academic guides" in the classroom but also "growth companions" in daily life. The 15-minute daily morning tutor meetings may involve discussing difficulties in yesterday’s homework, alleviating college application pressure, or planning this week’s club activities, so that every child is "seen" and "supported".

To the First Cohort of DKIAers: Pursuing a Long-Term 

Vision with Original Aspiration, Making Growth Resonate

You dare to challenge difficult problems in Dual-A classes, repeatedly verify hypotheses at the laboratory bench, and let academic excellence become the backdrop of your growth;

You learn cooperation and responsibility in club activities, and understand empathy and duty through community service—letting the integrity of your personality become your unique hallmark;

In the all-round development of moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor (MIPAL) competencies, you retain your passion for knowledge and gain the courage to face challenges—growing into teenagers "with light in your eyes, moral principles in your heart, and strength in your steps".
