The English Department has been recently organized to reflect a standard British high school model, consisting of 25 full-time teachers. Our 2025/26 intake (UK Year 10) will prepare for IGCSE Language and Literature over two years. Senior students will be working towards the Oxford International AQA in Language and Literature. Additionally, we offer an extended two-year AS English Language and Literature course. SCIE English teachers are encouraged to pursue their individual interests outside of the standard curriculum, with various student enrichment initiatives and English-related clubs available.

In the last two years, SCIE English students have achieved CAIE ‘Top of China’ and ‘High Achievement’ awards in AS and AL Literature and Language. We are seeking talented English educators with experience at both lower and upper Secondary levels, aiming to build upon our successes.
