MacDuffie (China) inherited the campus culture and education philosophy from the 130-year history of the American MacDuffie School. In 2017, at the beginning of its establishment, MacDuffie established its "Global Academic Committee" to explore the international education system, which aims to combine the essence of traditional American curriculum with Chinese characteristic international education. Rely on this self-developed standard system, MacDuffie hopes to help more Chinese students entering worldwide top universities.

Currently, MacDuffie (China) has established three directly-operated campuses in Shanghai, Tianjin, Nanjing. And it also has two Curriculum Centers in Beijing and Linyi. It has registered hundreds of outstanding teaching and administrative staff, of which more than 50% holding master's degree, and more than 80% are experienced senior teachers with long teaching careers. 60% of our 1,000 graduates entered TOP 50 universities and 30% were accepted by TOP 30 institutes.

"International Vision with Chinese Heart” is our motto. We embrace those teachers who have great ambitions and desire for achievements. We also expect them to create extraordinary achievements at MacDuffie.
