| 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.
International Program (or DKIP) is a magnet program that operates directly with some of the best high schools in Mainland China. 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.
Outside of the classroom, our offices truly reflect the culture of an Education Joint Venture, with a highly diverse and cooperative staff. We value motivated individuals and are always on the lookout for those who are capable of developing strong leadership and managerial skills. Individuals who stay with us longer than a year are in good standing to be promoted to leadership roles that will reflect strongly on resumes, no matter your future career goals.
