Dehong Shanghai will celebrate its 8th founder’s day on Saturday, April 19 ! Since the school first opened its doors in 2017, we have witnessed more and more Dehong students shine on the international stage. Over the past eight years, Dehong Shanghai has continued to write its own chapter in the story of education.
This year’s founder’s day theme — Infinity— draws inspiration from the shared symbolism of the number “8” and the infinity sign “∞.” As the number “8” spins through time, it transforms into the symbol of endless possibility and timeless growth. This reflects our unwavering commitment to inspiring hearts, shaping the world, and unlocking every child’s infinite potential for years to come.
Eight Years of Vision, A Future Without Limits. Through this celebration, we aim to look back on Dehong’s extraordinary journey, showcase the vibrant spirit of our community, reaffirm our educators’ dedication to our educational mission, and express our aspirations for the future of Dehong Shanghai.
