British Education A fast track to success
How did The British School of Guangzhou prepare you for life at university? The British School provided me with the opportunity to reach my academic goals and gave me the guidance I needed to get to my dream university. Not only did I learn to work independently, but I also gained great interview and essay-writing skills.

Once you complete your A-Level courses, there is no doubt that you can survive life at the university you choose and the academic challenges it brings. What were some of the highlights of your time in Guangzhou?
In what ways did A-Level study kickstart your university education?
Every day at The British School of Guangzhou was a highlight for me! I will never forget the amazing friends I made there and the experiences we had together.
I found the A-Level course to be immersive and rewarding. A-Level courses specialise and therefore go into more depth as advanced study is possible. It also gave me the confidence in knowing that Geography is truly the course for me.
Learning to sail around the islands in Hong Kong, diving for the first time in Thailand, the stress of exam week, the paranoia of opening our exam results and our wonderful week of paradise in the Philippines as part of our graduation trip!
It is now my major, and some topics were covered in more detail during my A-Levels than in my first year at the University of Edinburgh. This really helped me.
The British School of Guangzhou is a really lovely community full of kind and exciting people. I miss it so much.
