Dehong Shanghai has been designed to support a unique learning programme called SE21, which emphasises collaboration, entrepreneurship and essential skills for the modern workforce. SE21 encompasses physical spaces called Hubs and a learning programme offered in different forms inside and outside the curriculum.
The Hubs create environments where students can participate in technology-driven educational activities or innovative learning experiences like robotics, coding and virtual reality experiences. The school is designed with innovative and adaptable learning areas, including dedicated collaboration zones and outdoor learning terraces for each year group, centred around two expansive internal quads.
