PYP (ages 4-11)

The PYP encourages students to learn to appreciate knowledge, conceptual understandings, skills and personal attributes as a connected whole. Kuei Shan emphasizes a "student first" learning approach led by teachers who are a "guide on the side", instead of a "sage on the stage", where senior students mentor younger ones.

MYP (ages 11-16)

The MYP is a five-year programme from Grades 6-10. Students sharpen their academic and self-management abilities through eight core subjects, situated in real-world contexts and culture. MYP students at Kuei Shan take two Language & Literature classes (English and Chinese). All students must conduct and complete a Personal Project in Grade 10, which is assessed internally and moderated externally.

DP (ages 16-18)

The DP is a two-year programme. Students choose subjects that align their own interests with the IB requirements and the school-offered subjects. Students take six total subjects with a combination of Standard Level and Higher Level courses. Our eight cohorts (2017-2024) earned Diploma mean grade and average total points above worldwide average. Students are currently attending four-year universities in various regions - Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, the U.K., and the U.S.

At Kuei Shan, we celebrate our distinctive place in PreK-12 education - where teaching, learning and faith guide the mind in understanding the complex diversity of God's creation, equip them to experience T.R.U.T.H., and prepare the whole person for service and leadership.
