“By committing to an English-only policy in the classroom and talking to the native-speaker teachers, I feel completely immersed, which improves my English skills effectively. At the academic level, I am allowed to choose a variety of subjects and I have opportunities to do experiments in the labs, which inspires my interest and curiosity.\u00a0I am now moving onto the University of California, majoring in statistics and probability.”<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Chengdu Shishi High School is likely the oldest school in the world, standing\u00a0on the site of the first Chinese public school, built by a Han dynasty governor. It was originally constructed in stone, hence the current school’s name Shishi, which means stone chamber.<\/p>\n

The school has more than 3,000 students, all in their final three years of schooling. Students in the Dipont Education international curriculum centers are full members of the rest of the school, meaning they can enjoy the benefits of both a large community pf peers, as well as the more-focused center activities.<\/p>\n

The school is very much a Chinese state institution and students have physical exercises in the morning, eye exercises in the afternoon and the day begins with the national anthem. However, it is very internationally minded and fosters regular exchange program with countries including the USA and Denmark. In 2016, it hosted Cambridge International Examinations training courses that were attended by teachers from China and beyond.<\/p>\n
