At EtonHouse, we believe education is the cornerstone of a successful and fulfilling life.  Knowledge and skills provide the framework through which both children and adults see their world. We also understand that the environment plays a vital role in developing a happy, confident and resourceful child, therefore we lay great emphasis on creating a carefully planned and well resourced environment that is warm, welcoming and engaging.

EtonHouse International Schools and Pre-schools offer an academically rigorous education where children are encouraged to become critical thinkers and lifelong learners through an international, inquiry-based programme.  We provide stimulating learning experiences focused on the strengths and needs of individuals.  This encourages each child to reach their full potential – academically, socially, emotionally and physically.

EtonHouse fosters a love of learning and provides children with the skills they need to be adaptable and flexible in a rapidly changing world.  In our schools, each child is known, encouraged and supported by all staff.  Parents are welcome in our schools and we highly value and encourage partnerships between home and school.

The campus is located in Nanhai district, Foshan city, Guangdong province. It is part of the Nanhai Business City (NBC), also known as the Huanan Singapore City.

The Pre-School and Elementary curriculum is inspired by the child-focused IB approach to learning via exploration and investigation of themes. The IB approach aims to develop students through dynamic cycles of inquiry, action and reflection. As students progress to middle school and high school, they will be exposed to the academically rigorous iGCSE curriculum and graduate with the iGCSE certification.

The international school opened on 1 Sep 2016. Enrolment will continue throughout the entire school year.
