A-Level Dipont adopted the strategy of closely cooperating
with provincial educational administrations and applying the program
in provincial key public secondary schools. Dipont has signed
cooperation agreements with provincial education departments of
Jiangsu, Beijing, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, and
Liaoning Provinces.
In October 2003, Dipont became senior
subsidiary center of Cambridge International Associate Partner of
CIE (University of Cambridge International Examinations) in China.
The CIE A-Level program provides Chinese students with the
International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and
GCE Cambridge A-Level programs.
Dipont has been very
successful with the A-Level program, currently working with over 12
secondary schools (see list of schools below). Following the
approval of the A-Level program by the provincial educational
administrations, Dipont has had strong success promoting the program
in key schools within the targeted areas. Due to this innovative
strategy, Dipont has become the largest organization of CIE A-Level
program promotion and service in China. Current estimates plan for
an increase in number of centres to eighteen to twenty by 2011 with over 7,000
students.
Dipont employees over 90 foreign teachers and
enrolls 1530 full time students. Upon graduation, most students will
further their studies at well-known international universities. The
quality of the program and achievements by students has helped
expand the reputation across several provincial educational
administrations.
