| Physics Teacher Dipont Education, China Who We Are: - Dipont directly manages or provides management support to a network of international education centers within highly regarded Chinese high schools. These programs function as schools within schools.
- We deliver international curricula programs to Chinese students: Advanced Placement (AP), A-level (British curriculum) and International Baccalaureate (IBDP).
- We currently directly manage 25 international programs in many of the best high schools in China serving approximately 6,000 students. Our entire network enrolls over 7,000 students.
- All of our students will go to university abroad; most of them in Top 100 schools.
- In September 2018, Dipont opened its first two K-12 schools in Wuxi and Hangzhou. A third school will open in 2020. These are the first of a wider network of new schools in development.
Why Dipont? - The students in our centers will be some of the best students you will ever teach. The quality of students and the satisfaction of teaching them at a very high academic level is the most often cited positive experience by our teachers. If you are good at your job you will be admired and respected like you have never been before as a teacher. Even if you saw a student an hour ago, they will greet you like they have missed you for a month!
- Our students forego the Chinese national college entrance exam and all will attend university outside of China, predominantly in the United Kingdom and the United States. We annually have students accepted to schools such as Cambridge, Oxford, Stanford, Penn, Duke, Cornell, and many other top schools.
- The combination of the competitive salary, housing allowance, no automobile ownership costs, and low cost of living provide the opportunity to save a sizable percentage of your salary.
- The experience of China. China’s long and rich history, its energetic and engaging people, and the intriguing cultural differences make it a rewarding experience. Ease of transportation and ample vacation time make all of China, actually all of Asia, accessible to you.
