Curriculum Overview

SIS offers a curriculum based on current practices and trends in Western countries with adjustments to meet the unique situations of students overseas. The core curriculum areas are covered in self-contained classrooms with some degree of departmentalization as appropriate for the older students. Shekou International School is the only school in the Shenzhen area that is fully accredited by Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). SIS completed its WASC midterm review report in February 2005. To read the report click here: WASC Midterm Report 2004-2005.

SIS's mission is furthered through the continuous efforts of the faculty to work toward the stated core goals. SIS teachers recognize the importance of laying a solid foundation for later success. As the students are in the process of developing enduring attitudes about themselves and the world, the SIS curriculum helps them develop a pride that comes from a variety of accomplishments; a sense of joy in learning that comes from meaningful, rich experiences; and a growing ability to be responsible for themselves and others.
