Teachers of Humanities (Secondary)

Hangzhou Dipont School of Arts and Science (in partnership with King's College School, Wimbledon and RDFZ Beijing) welcomes year-round applications from Teachers of Humanities (History, Geography, Global Perspectives, etc) to join our world-class learning community.

At Hangzhou Dipont School of Arts and Science, Humanities subjects encourage students to explore the world through history, geography, and related disciplines. Our Secondary Humanities teachers inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of societies, cultures, and environments past and present. Through discussion, research, and real-world connections, students develop the analytical and communication skills that prepare them for academic success and responsible global citizenship.

The mission of Hangzhou Dipont School of Arts and Science is to provide differentiated education for the development of each student. We strive to educate young men and women who will be innovative and collaborative while appreciating their own and other cultures and traditions. The school is located on an idyllic lakeside site in the Yuhang District of Hangzhou, surrounded by beautiful scenery including tea fields and bamboo forests. Our world-class campus includes wonderful teaching and recreational spaces, numerous and well-equipped laboratories, 800-seat theatre, a 50-metre swimming pool and excellent sports facilities.

As pupils enter junior high school level in Grade 7, the humanities programme distinguishes between geography and history, with science also splitting into three distinct disciplines. Morality and Technology are added as compulsory elements.

The Chinese curriculum is taught through Grades 7-9 by subject specialists from both Chinese and international backgrounds. We have international teachers in English, science, drama, art, PE and music. Use of IT to enhance learning is encouraged.

In Grade 9, upon completion of the compulsory Chinese curriculum, Chinese pupils transfer to our International Curriculum Centre. Pupils will have a distinct provision with a focus on developing strength in English to allow access to CIE A-level courses in Grades 11 and 12.

In Grade 11, pupils are placed in English and mathematics classes appropriate to their level. Chinese is compulsory for native students. In addition, students have the opportunity to study five subjects at ‘AS level’, chosen from science, humanities and aesthetics, before progressing to the study of three to five ‘A2’ subjects, plus English at the appropriate level.
