The success of The ISF Academy comes from taking the best practices of East and West.  Because of this new approach, we are able to provide rigor and excellence in a nurturing and non-competitive environment.

Derived from best-practice models around the world, with particular focus on Chinese and Western progressive education, The ISF Academy’s emphasis is on discovery and construction of knowledge.  Click here for more details.

Bridging East and West combines the benefits of self-discipline and dutiful behaviour with the richness fostered by respect for diversity, individual differences and critical thinking.  Learning takes place in an open, relaxed, yet structured environment.  Progress is monitored by systematic observation and recording of the individual student’s development, supplemented with formal, informal and standardized assessments.
