Picture your child exploring a campus nestled between the lush tropical forests and the sandy shores of beautiful Qi'Ao Island. It's not just a school; it's a safe haven where 200 eager learners from over 25 nations come together to grow, discover, and excel.
Mission: We are courageous and caring lifelong learners committed to personal excellence as internationally-minded leaders in our communities.
Our dedicated team of over 50 passionate educators is committed to bringing out the best in your child through personalized International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes. From our youngest learners in the Primary Years Programme to our ambitious Diploma candidates, students are encouraged to stretch their imagination, take intellectual risks, and develop essential skills to be future-proof in a changing world.
But it's not all about academics. We believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals. That's why we offer exciting opportunities like field research, local excursions, and even international travel. Your child could compete in sports across China and Mongolia or showcase their brilliance in renowned academic contests like the World Scholar's Cup.
Our recent accreditation from the prestigious Council of International Schools (CIS) and continued authorization by the International Baccalaureate is our promise to you - guaranteeing your child will receive a world-class education that opens doors to top universities worldwide.
We'd love you to see the ZIS magic for yourself. Visit our campus, meet our friendly community, and discover how we can help your child's dreams take flight. Let's embark on this exciting educational journey together.
