It boasts a magnificent campus with superb facilities near the River Yangtze in the Pukou district of Nanjing, one of China's most historic cities. Pukou is a well established district, and the city centre is within easy reach. Nanjing is a green city with beautiful parks and hills. It is a very comfortable city for international staff whilst feeling traditionally Chinese. The fastest trains reach Shanghai in one hour and Beijing in three and a half hours. It is very well connected and has a busy international airport.
As a bilingual international school, the Chinese National Curriculum is taught in Grades 1 to 9 and an International Curriculum in Grades 10 to 12 (The International High School, IHS). The school is currently seeking IB authorisation for the PYP and MYP as a vehicle to delivering the Chinese National Curriculum in a manner than better prepares the students for international education. International teachers are employed throughout the school and make up nearly half of the teaching team in the IHS. The IHS curriculum is based on IGCSEs and A levels. The majority of our leavers go on to universities in the UK, USA and Australia.
The IHS operates a House system and Tutor system. Developing skills and extracurricular activities are important to us and our teaching team contributes to school life beyond classroom teaching. The school is not an "exam factory". The IHS is run by an international principal who was appointed from his role of International Education Director at the UK parent school.
