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 offer high school students an American-based English language education. Our mission is to better prepare Chinese high school students to attend and succeed in American universities by providing them with a progressive, interactive and globally focused English language curriculum.
We focus on preparing students with the critical thinking and analytical skills necessary to not only get into, but also succeed in American colleges and universities. Our DK International Program (or DKIP) is a magnet program that operates directly with some of the best high schools in mainland China.
