Having been an educator for more than 40 years, I have always dreamed of setting up an international school that respects the principles of education, stresses all-round development of students, and offers small class sizes and individualised and diverse instruction. With the founding of Wuxi Dipont School of Arts and Science, the dream I have cherished for decades has finally become a reality.

I hope that through their academic studies and co-curricular activities, pupils at Wuxi Dipont School of Arts and Science are inspired to find goals that they pursue with lasting passion and deep conviction, pursuits that lead them to happy and joyful lives.

I believe in the power of dreams, and I hope that Wuxi Dipont School of Arts and Science can become a high-quality school oriented by cultivating students' ability, integrating Chinese and international cultures, which prepares students for the future. I believe in the power of anticipation, in our culture of encouragement and trustworthy relationship between students and teachers, through which I hope we can inspire joyful learning. I believe that enrichment leads to selectivity and selectivity leads to individuality. Building a diversified curriculum is our unalterable education philosophy. I believe that the healthy growth of children requires the joint efforts of families, schools and the larger community. Building a good home-school cooperation and community partnership is essential to our work. I believe that international schools in China should make great efforts to integrate the best of Chinese and international education to create the campus atmosphere of Wuxi Dipont School of Arts and Science, which is the guarantee of our school’s high quality.

Since joining Dipont Education in 2008, I have witnessed the design and development of this innovative school throughout the years. Our students today will face a complex and ever-changing world in the future. T The high degree of uncertainty makes it imperative for us as educators to consider how to cultivate transferable knowledge, skills, and competencies that our students will need in the era of artificial intelligence and information technology. As the newly appointed Executive Principal, I will lead our entire faculty and staff to adhere to the founding mission of "establishing a future-oriented internationalized school" set by school board of governance ten years ago, uphold the "inheritance and exploration" development approach set at school five-year anniversary, and focus on the educational strategy of "supporting individual growth for excellence through holistic education." We will employ an international faculty team, optimize the processes and methods of international education, strengthen the academic outcomes and educational goals of international education, enhance the experience of international education for students and parents. With unwavering confidence, we will position ourselves in Wuxi and aim at the Yangtze River Delta region to build a private school that integrates multiculturalism and is highly internationalized. As someone who has benefited from international education, studying abroad has changed my education and life, enabling me to help more students pursue their dreams of international education. Every individual's passion for a profession is rooted in their own sense of mission, and my mission is to protect this campus and ensure every child benefits from international education and ultimately fulfill their dreams for overseas studies.
