Students growth via our curriculum

As we analyzed the students' growth in Dalton Tokyo, we found causal relationship among intrinsic motication for challenging experiences, non-cognitive capabilities growth and test score growth in subjects like math.

These non-cognitive competencies generate strong motivation for subject learning.
