The Good Schools Guide
We have been thrilled with the quality of education. Our daughter (a native English speaker) follows the comprehensive English curriculum and in parallel has adapted to the immersive Chinese programme with a high proficiency in Mandarin. The school also values the balance of scholastic pursuits with an extremely wide variety of extracurricular activities.

We’re delighted to name Kensington Wade as the inaugural winners of the ISA Award for Innovation in Education 2022. Not only do they offer a blended curriculum, which is taught in both languages, but also diverse ways for students to embrace both cultures. Pupils become skilled intercultural navigators for the realities of our diverse society.
