Dalian Maple Leaf International School

DMLIS, its 2000 senior secondary students and its 200 or so teachers are located one hour outside Dalian, a north-eastern city of about five million, roughly midway between Beijing and North Korea along the coast.

It aims to "blend the best of Chinese and Canadian education" and I believe that is does this successfully in many areas of student school and life. I really appreciate the value placed on discipline in Chinese education. Simply put: the students are generally remarkebly self-disciplined when they face challenges in their studies and it leads to a lot of success stories in our classrooms.



This is posted at the front door to the grade 10 building and I post it here to wonder what would happen if it was posted in a North American high school.
