  • Students to spend one semester at Xingtai High and earn NS credits toward NS High School Diploma

  • Exemption from tuition fees and living expenses provided (meals and accommodations).  

  • DHS students will stay in dormitory on campus.

  • Students responsible for own airfare and pocket money

  • Great way to be exposed to another culture while gaining  NS credits toward High School Diploma

  • Chinese counterparts (3 students)  will stay with host family -  free of charge while attending Dartmouth High for one semester

We look forward to beginning this student exchange program in September.   In order to get the necessary paperwork in order, we would need to begin this process as soon as possible.  See  Mme Monard for further details.

Cell Phone Policy
DHS is committed to the preservation and integrity of the learning environment.  As such, it is expected that all students respect and support the sanctity of the classroom environment. 
Cell phones must be powered off and must not be visible in classrooms, hallways, and the cafeteria at all times during class blocks A-B-C-D.   This guideline also applies during field trips. However, cell phone use is permitted during break time, and at lunchtime in the cafeteria and in the hallways. Note that cell phone use is never permitted in the library, school offices, Keating Hall, gymnasiums, bathrooms, and locker rooms. 
Blatant disregard for this policy may fall under disruptive behaviour and may lead to serious consequences as per the school’s discipline policy.
