The ISF Academy offers a full immersion bilingual programme in English and Chinese, as well as an international curriculum based on the IB programme. At primary level, The ISF Academy follows an internationally blended curriculum that’s deeply rooted in Chinese culture, focuses on Putonghua, and follows teaching methods of the UK, the US, Hong Kong, China and Canada. At secondary level, teaching is based on the MYP and the IBDP, focuses on English, and is enhanced with classes in the classics, science and global politics as part of the school’s challenging and rigorous Shuyuan programme.
What the school says: “As a bilingual immersion school, we strive to have equal representation of both languages and cultures in assemblies, activities, and our awards programme. We aim for mastery in both languages by upper secondary, backed by a deep appreciation for Chinese and other civilizations.”
