Dalton School Hong Kong (DSHK) is a non-denominational, coeducational early years and primary school situated at Imperial Cullinan in West Kowloon. The school distinguishes itself through the child-centered Dalton Plan, which fosters self-directed learning, collaboration, and personal responsibility through structured assignments and dedicated laboratory time. A key highlight for families is its dual-language immersion model, integrating English and Putonghua to build robust bilingual competence and multicultural understanding from an early age.
