Daning International aims to forge life skills in the students, encouraging them to "smile at anything, even difficulties." The school administrators have combined foreign and local education management systems to establish a curriculum that has flexibility and includes a broad variety of subjects and classes at different levels.

To ensure that students from different cultural backgrounds adapt easily to the school environment, specialis teachers are assigned to each class.
