International School of Dongguan

The International School of Dongguan (ISD) is the first international school approved by the Chinese Ministry of Education in Dongguan. Since 2012, ISD has provided high-quality education to the community, offering international education from pre-kindergarten to grade 12. In 2013, ISD received accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Since 2015, it has been an authorized IB World School offering students the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP).

ISD is a member of two regional professional organizations for international schools: the Association of Chinese and Mongolian International Schools (ACAMIS) and the East Asia Regional Council of Overseas Schools (EARCOS). The school focuses on delivering a challenging and well-rounded education while nurturing each child's unique talents and aspirations.

To attract qualified educators, ISD collaborates with International School Services. The faculty at ISD has a diverse background in teaching abroad, bringing extensive experience in personalizing education for students. All professional teaching staff hold bachelor's degrees or higher, with 9% holding doctorate degrees.

Being one of only 65 WASC-accredited international schools in China, ISD stands out among the many schools in the country claiming to be global. WASC accreditation is an external validation ensuring that ISD is part of a select group of top international schools providing high-quality educational programs. This accreditation covers the entire range from pre-kindergarten to grade 12, making ISD's academic qualifications recognized by institutions in the United States and most Western countries.

Additionally, ISD proudly participates in two regional professional organizations: ACAMIS and EARCOS. Membership in these associations allows ISD students to engage in interscholastic sports, cultural events, and social service activities on a broader platform. It also provides opportunities for faculty and staff to partake in high-level training and professional development, contributing significantly to teacher qualification enhancement and overall school development.
