Shekou International School New Campus
Shekou International School’s new school rooms at Nan Hai Mei Gui:
SHEKOU International School (SIS) will open a new campus in August to accommodate more students.
The new Bayside Campus, designed by a European company, is being built next to the Coastal Rose, said Robert S. Dunseth, director of SIS, adding that it “will be state-of-the-art and designed for optimal learning.”
The building will feature a large, dedicated media center, a second school library, a research zone, an art area including art studios, music rooms, digital music studio, a 250-seat theater, open plan classrooms, high-tech science labs, and an all-day cafe. All students will be able to access wireless laptop computers, counseling and career guidance, outdoor basketball and volleyball courts, a mini-fitness center, and swimming, tennis and aerobics facilities.
Most of the new classrooms overlook the sea, while the others overlook a garden.
The campus will accommodate junior and senior high school students and applications from new students are now being accepted.
The school is also offering four scholarships, worth US$5,000 each, sponsored by International Schools Services of Princeton, New Jersey, to senior high school students who demonstrate academic excellence and leadership.
Beside the new Bayside Campus, SIS is to open its new Sports Complex, costing more than 1 million yuan, later this month.
It will include a new all-weather running track, full-sized basketball court, and soccer pitch.
Improvements are also being made to SIS’ mountainside campus.
SIS, a major international education establishment in Shekou, enrolled 150 more students this year and now serves 35 nationalities.
