| DK Education is an Academic English Organization based in Beijing. Co-founded in...DK Education is an Academic English Organization based in Beijing. Co-founded in 2010 by Lucy Haagen, 10 year veteran of the College Board, we partner with high schools around China to change their attitude and approach to English Language Education. Our mission is to better prepare Chinese high school students to attend and succeed at American Universities by providing them with a progressive and interactive, globally focused English language curriculum.
“Academic English Organization”
DK Education is not another “Test Prep” or “ESL” organization. We focus on preparing students with the critical thinking and analytical skills necessary to not only get into, but also succeed at American Colleges and Universities. Our American Test Prep Programs focus not on teaching students how to memorize “tricks and gimmicks” in order to score well on the test, but rather on providing them with broader skills and cultural awareness—the things that will stick with them after they have left the testing room. The DK Education American English-Language Arts curriculum takes students step by step through real ELA classes that are taught in high performing U.S. classes, from Middle School through the final year of High School, using high quality and uncensored textbooks, and providing students with a fully immersive English education structured around the Common Core standards.
