Dingwen insists on the development of whole-person education, focusing on the training of students' critical thinking ability, the ability to deal with conflict information, innovative problem solving, to adapt to this changing world reserve strength.
Philosophy and English debate classes will be offered at the middle school level to help students develop critical thinking, deepen their personal understanding of nature, society and life, and lay a solid foundation for their participation in the creation and construction of diverse communities.

It is believed that students can feel the depth, openness and internationalization of Dingwen's academics in this experience class.

Shakespeare said that the best plays are but a miniature of life.
In real life, everyone has their own radius, and most people are bound by this "radius" for life. Drama is also a good way to extend and challenge the boundary, children can find their potential in drama, find another self, or return to the original heart after the challenge and collision, firm the existing choice and path.
In the English drama class, students can experience pure performance in an immersive English environment, and deduce it through body movements, expressions, language, etc., so as to help students improve their ability to use knowledge, learn to understand the world from different perspectives, improve students' creativity, self-confidence, and enhance their understanding of artistic works.

Whether it is the speech contest and homework display on campus, or the business road show and debate negotiation after graduation, in today's era, speech is everywhere. It is not only the art of language, but also an excellent way to express ideas and ideas.
As a link of cross-cultural communication, English speech can not only help children build self-confidence and win attention on the international stage, but also serve as an effective medium to carry forward and develop excellent traditional Chinese culture, enhance national self-confidence and cultural identity, and greatly promote children's open mind and tolerance.
Dingwen encourages students to actively express their thoughts on society, spread excellent Chinese culture in cross-cultural exchanges, and adapt to and respect the world's diverse cultures.
In the English speech class, children will systematically understand the artistic charm and academic skills of English speech, learn the construction of speech logic, master how to choose better words, and quickly change the content and language organization according to different topics or positions.

The Princeton Review has ranked business among the "Top 10 hottest majors in America." According to the Global Study Abroad Trends 2023 report released by the international education consultancy AECC, business majors are still growing strongly. At the same time, business is one of the most popular majors for Chinese students to study abroad.
This Dingwen English business experience class, the teacher will lead the children into the "trade village" to open a journey of exploration.
