The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world.
As IB learners we strive to be:
The IB learner profile represents 10 attributes valued by IB World Schools. We believe these attributes, and others like them, can help individuals and groups become responsible members of local, national, and global communities.
Our curriculum is set up on the basis of our school mission and the students’ developmental needs.
The school offers Chinese courses including Chinese literature, history, geography, politics and mathematics. Meanwhile, we introduced IB curriculum, which is widely known as the most challenging and respected pre-university course of study anywhere in the world.
