Welcome to Shekou International School!

We are a community where inspiration and care lead to great learning.

Since we began in 1988, we have provided expatriate students in Shenzhen with the highest standard of education. We are proud to be a not-for-profit school owned by International Schools Services, the leading provider of services to international schools for 60 years. We build on this strong tradition of proven excellence to provide an education that helps students be as successful as possible. 

Our staff come from more than a dozen nations around the world and are experienced, committed and highly qualified. They know how to bring learning alive for students with challenging, personalized experiences.

Our curriculum is from the best and most current of national and international sources, making it relevant and challenging for our students. Student-centered approaches are at the heart of how our teachers work with each student from early childhood to graduation. We are an authorized International Baccalaureate World School and we offer students a comprehensive and inspiring experience. Our students consistently perform above their peers on a variety of international tests and access great schools and universities when they are ready to leave Shenzhen.

The modern, technologically advanced facilities are safe, green, and beautifully landscaped. Our students have access to first class venues beyond the classroom, allowing for their full physical and social development as they grow. Our technology initiatives gives all students access to outstanding programs in all grades. 

We are proud to have over 30 years of educational excellence for the expatriate community of Shenzhen. We are leaders in international education in the region and are fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).  Our students benefit from our long-time affiliation with the Association of China and Mongolia International Schools (ACAMIS) and the East Asia Regional Council of Schools (EARCOS).

We are proud of our school, and we are working hard to make it even better in partnership with our families. We welcome you to learn more about us and be active in the SIS community.

Sincerely,

Harish Kanabar
