CIS Guangzhou uses the Alberta curriculum which puts students on the path to earn an internationally recognized high school diploma. An Alberta High School Diploma will allow our students to compete on the international stage and apply to any universities they wish to attend. The Alberta curriculum is focused around student-centered inquiry learning. This philosophy fosters independent and critical thinkers who have the skills to cope and adapt in different situations.

International schools offer students a diverse environment in which to grow, share and learn from one another and necessarily provide rich experiences outside of their curricular studies.

Guangzhou Grace Academy belongs to a worldwide family of schools using the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum. The students learn in a system proven to work internationally, in more than 110 countries and around 7,000 schools. USA, UK and many universities worldwide have accepted graduates of the School of Tomorrow program, including Oxford and Harvard. Students are individually diagnosed to pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses; their course of study is tailored to meet their individual needs. Students learn the important life skills of setting and meeting their own study goals each day. The Guangzhou Grace Academy (GGA) was founded in 1994 as an alternative Christian-curriculum school and was awarded Model School status by the ACE School of Tomorrow. Although students with non-Christian backgrounds are permitted, the school makes it clear that the curriculum followed is imbued with strong Christian values and both students and their families are encouraged to embrace these. New students are admitted between the ages of 4 and 11. After this age, new students must be transferring from a Christian school or demonstrate strong Christian principles and proficiency in English. GGA recently relocated to a brand new, custom-built facility in Panyu. Some extracurricular activities are offered, including sports and music.

Prepare young people for time and enternity.

GGA was established to assist families in the exciting and awesome task of preparing children for life-both this life and the life to come.

After-school Activities Yes. Utahloy has over 60 clubs and after-school activities, in addition to private music lessons. The Association of China and Mongolia International Schools (ACAMIS) was set up to give international school children the opportunity to participate in sporting and cultural events across China. Schools are responsible for hosting tournaments or cultural events in rotation, allowing students to travel throughout China to participate in these tournaments or events. Students from Grades 9 to 12 participate in ACAMIS events. All students are initially invited to try out for each sport. All players are expected to attend a minimum of two training sessions a week and participate in matches after school and at weekends. Whenever possible, UIS will attempt to have an SDRC/ACAMIS squad whose players travel to the tournaments and a developmental squad who also train throughout the year and play in exhibition matches. Members of the developmental squad would always have the potential of moving to the SDRC/ACAMIS squad.

School Facilities Utahloy’s facilities have developed over the past 15 years to include: purpose-built classrooms for K to Y12; specialist music, art, drama and P.E. rooms; laboratories for science and design technology and three computer labs.

Concordia International School Shanghai offers an outstanding, college-preparatory American-based curriculum and has long been recognized for its dedication to academic excellence. We’ve come a long way since the fall of 1998 when only 22 students were enrolled in the Elementary and Middle Schools.

With economic globalization and the internationalization of education, Shanghai Shangde Experimental School was established in September 2003. The school is actively exploring the combination of the foreign courses and the domestic curriculum. In September 2007, the International Division of Shangde was founded, with the qualification of directly recruiting both domestic and foreign students. In order to provide a diversity of teaching modes, the International Division has cooperated with senior high schools from different countries, such as America, Canada and Japan. In this way, the students can have an easier access to studying abroad. To ensure a globalized education, Shangde provides a diversified path for students who prefer westernized education methods. After two years of hard work, we were approved by the IBO and became a qualified IB World School on 7th April of 2010. Since the successful implementation and accreditation of the IB Diploma Programme in April 2010, our school has started our primary school division, this past September (2012).

The Middle Years Programme and the Primary Years Programme were introduced in September of 2013.

SHENZHEN

Shenzhen is located on a southern tip of the Chinese mainland and on the eastern bank of the Pearl River. It neighbors Hong Kong and is home to about 11 million permanent residents. The country's first special economic zone - the brainchild of late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping - was established here in 1980.

Shenzhen has been a touchstone for China's reform and opening-up policy since then. In merely 34 years, Shenzhen, a tiny border town of just over 30,000 people in 1979, has grown into a modern metropolis.

It has established many firsts in the history of world industrialization, urbanization and modernization and therefore enjoys a reputation as one of the country's most developed cities and one of the fastest-growing cities in the world.

Currently, there are 11 international schools in Shenzhen. All of these schools are listed in this Guide.

WEIHAI

ZKIS is an English International School located in the outskirts of the Chinese city of Weihai. It was founded in 2006 and has grown rapidly thanks to the hard work and dedication of our staff and students. We are an immersion school and our primary academic goal is to equip our students with a high level of English proficiency. This is done through a comprehensive English programme that supports the students in the four key areas of speaking, listening, reading and writing. Despite our focus on English, we are not a language school. Students are taught a range of subjects including Maths, Science, Social Studies, Chinese, Art, Music and PE. Through these subjects, students are able to see the wider use of English and are able to pursue and develop their own academic strengths. The study of Chinese equips students with a third major world language and allows them to communicate within the country they are studying in.

Mission

Zhongshi International School motivates students to engage in rigorous academic experiences and ensures educational justice for all.

WUXI

Wuxi International School (WIS) was established for the children of foreign businessmen and technicians by the Wuxi government in 2003. It bears the distinction of being Wuxi’s only public international school. It is directly under the leadership of the Wuxi Education Authority and in cooperation with the administration of China and foreign experts.

Located in the Wuxi’s Binhu District, WIS is a modern teaching facility within a beautiful school new campus. It was established in order to provide an international education environment for the children whose parents are of foreign nationalities living and working in China as well as those from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The school presently consists of three departments: the Kindergarten department, the Primary School department and the Secondary School department. We recruit students whose ages range from Pre-school to Grade 9. The school’s founding philosophy is to combine the best aspects of Eastern (traditional Chinese) education with the best aspects of Western education to create a uniquely powerful and comprehensive atmosphere for student growth and development. Unlike many local schools, WIS strives to include creative activities (art, music, dance and drama) to provide students with vivid practical experiences.

Mission We dedicate ourselves to cultivate students

who are dedicated to pursuing excellence–

academic, physical, and moral. By allowing

students to be nurtured in an environment

that accentuates the best attributes of both

Eastern and Western culture and education,

WIS will be instrumental in creating intelligent,

competitive students with an international perspective.
