[edit] Education
From Grades 6 to 10, ISFA follows the IB Middle Years Program (MYP). Then it will be followed by the IB Diploma Program (DP) a two-year curriculum to be offered in Grades 11 and 12. Students learn to read critically, write effectively, listen intently and speak fluently in Putonghua and English. The aim of the language program is to have students to attain fluency in both Putonghua (Mandarin Chinese) and English on par with native speakers, and conversational ability in a third language, by the time they graduate from Grade 12.
