The American International School of Guangzhou (AISG) is a respected non-profit, co-educational day school offering world-class academics, an inclusive community, and exceptional student support for families seeking a global education in Guangzhou. Since 1981, AISG has been the oldest and longest-established non-profit international school in southern China, serving students from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12 across two campuses: ErSha Island in Yuexiu District and Science Park in Huangpu District – the latter nestled in Guangzhou's thriving Science City, a hub for innovation and technology.

Moving to a new country is challenging – finding the right school shouldn't be. At AISG, families feel seen, supported, and part of a welcoming community from day one. As an IB Continuum School (PYP, MYP, DP), AISG provides a globally recognized curriculum that balances academics, life skills, arts, leadership, and well-being. Accredited by WASC and following AERO, Common Core, and NGSS standards, our program prepares students for future success through real-world learning, including experiential trips, service learning, and internships tied to leading organizations in Guangzhou's dynamic industry ecosystem.

AISG's highly qualified faculty – over 75% hold master's degrees, and 70% have 11+ years of experience – nurtures a culture of creativity, inquiry, and belonging. Our diverse student body represents over 40 nationalities, fostering a truly global learning environment.

With state-of-the-art facilities, including a Performing Arts Center, cutting-edge design classrooms, and top-tier sports spaces, AISG supports holistic development. Students explore passions through 270+ extracurricular activities, the largest program in South China, alongside immersive opportunities in STEM, arts, and leadership. Our exceptional college placement ensures 100% of graduates attend top universities worldwide, including Ivy League and Oxbridge.

As a non-profit, every tuition dollar is reinvested into student learning and school growth. From our mission-driven leadership to our engaged parents and alumni, AISG is a community united in empowering learners to make a positive impact.
