SCHOOL INTRODUCTION 

MISSION 

Founded and funded by the Shanghai Education Commission, Minhang District and Qibao Town, Shanghai Qibao Dwight High School is an experiment in implementing East-West cooperative education at the high school level. The mission of Qibao Dwight is to be a model of Sino-U.S. cooperation through the implementation of international curriculum that combines Chinese and Western features. 

Qibao High School (Shanghai) and Dwight School (New York) were given the opportunity to come together in pursuit of a learning environment that would fit the changing landscape of Chinese education and serve as a laboratory for the cultivation of internationally-minded students who will be innovators in society. With a joint Qibao High School and Dwight School governing board and rigorous standards across the school upheld by oversight from both schools, we take our role in the ever-evolving landscape of Chinese National education seriously and are deeply committed to what we do.
