About School:

Situated on the outskirt of Shenzhen & Guangzhou, both top-tier cities in China, School prides itself on being one of the most successful bilingual international schools in Southern China.

School aims to foster a 21st-century learning environment for its students and prepares them for a better future.
School humbly opened its gate in 2017 with just over 100 students. Today, it has blossomed into a leading bilingual international school that is accredited by Cognia, a member school of WASC, and home to 398 staff members and 1770 students, ranging from Pre-K to Grade 12.

Staff enjoys the best combination of urban & suburban life: whether it is a leisure bike tour around the lake, a weekend shopping trip to downtown Shenzhen (only 1 hour away), or lychee picking at a local ranch, there are always great social options outside of school life.
