International examinations

Furthermore, SCIE students have excelled in international examinations, especially IGCSE and A-Level examinations. Throughout the course of 16 years, SCIE has received 103 Top in the World awards and 162 Top in the Country awards.[11]

Campus

Before Summer 2020, the SCIE campus was at Shuiwei, a small area immediately to the north of the Huanggang Port between Shenzhen (mainland China) and Hong Kong SAR. This was commonly referred to as the Shuiwei campus (old campus). In August 2020, the students and faculty of SCIE have moved into the new campus, which is the current campus, sitting by Antuo Hill, or alternatively, Antuoshan (Chinese: 安托山).

Language

Since its inception, SCIE has followed a policy known as "The English Policy," which states that all academic staff and students must use English as their primary language on campus due to the international nature of the school. Because of this policy, the majority of lessons are taught in English (with the exception of P.E. and Chinese). Students are becoming more willing to follow this policy as time goes on, owing to the nature of overseas studies' demanding language skills requirements. Because of the introduction of multilingual lessons in SCIE, Spanish, French, and Japanese are also used.

SCIE students are known to have exceptional English language skills. In a 2018 report published by British Council, SCIE students have the highest average IELTS score (6.9) out of all international schools in mainland China.[12]

Faculty

Currently, there are 183 teachers, including both Chinese and foreign teachers. With 1,800 students, the faculty-student ratio is 1:10.
