Shanghai Qibao Dwight High School
Reviews
- Shanghai Qibao Dwight is a bilingual high school operating in the Dwight network. Recent commentary leans negative, with one teacher describing it as "very much a bilingual, bordering on being a Chinese public school".
- Staff reportedly drove a shift toward a Chinese public-school operating model, prompting senior people to be poached out by other schools.
- Workload is reported to be high in a results-oriented environment; one ex-staff member compared it to a BASIS-style school where teachers "work very hard".
- The student body is overwhelmingly Chinese, and the school does not run primary, only IGCSE and A-level. Recent staff cuts have hit longer-serving teachers and those with families.
Considerations
- School character. Described as bilingual leaning into a Chinese public-school operating model.
- Workload. Heavy, results-oriented teaching load; comparisons drawn to BASIS-style schools.
- Staffing churn. Long-serving staff and those with dependents reportedly cut as too expensive.
