Junior High School
As pupils enter junior high school level in Grade 7, the humanities programme distinguishes between geography and history, with science also splitting into three distinct disciplines. Morality and Technology are added as compulsory elements.
The Chinese curriculum is taught through Grades 7-9 by subject specialists from both Chinese and international backgrounds. We have international teachers in English, science, drama, art, PE and music. Use of IT to enhance learning is encouraged.
Senior School
In Grade 9, upon completion of the compulsory Chinese curriculum, Chinese pupils transfer to our International Curriculum Centre. Pupils will have a distinct provision with a focus on developing strength in English to allow access to CIE A-level courses in Grades 11 and 12.
In Grade 11, pupils are placed in English and mathematics classes appropriate to their level. Chinese is compulsory for native students. In addition, students have the opportunity to study five subjects at ‘AS level’, chosen from science, humanities and aesthetics, before progressing to the study of three to five ‘A2’ subjects, plus English at the appropriate level.
*We are committed to a thorough and complete check of the credentials of all those employed to work with children in our organization.
