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 has been awarded full accreditation status since 1992.

SIS is also the only international school to also be accredited for the full term by the National Council of Curriculum and Textbooks (NCCT-Chinese Accreditation.)
 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; joy in learning that comes from meaningful, rich experiences; a genuine sense of community, and a growing ability to be responsible for their own learning.
