ISA International School of Guangzhou uses the IB PYP Framework with the English National Curriculum, which allows students to learn and develop their knowledge, concepts, skills and attributes as well as improving students’ academic outcomes. We use UK curriculum standards, content, skills and outcomes for lesson planning. The IB framework acts as a guide in inquiry learning and developing independence. We also focus on developing students’ general capabilities, which consist of Literacy, Numeracy, Social-Intercultural-Ethical Competence and Critical & Creative Thinking.

Outdoor activities are planned to ensure students develop their physical skills and have a happy and healthy approach to inquiry in the world. Students enjoy off site trips to places such as the airport, the zoo or farm, to complement and extend their work in class. Students in Early Years are also offered swimming lessons.
