Distinctive Curriculum
Chiway Repton Xiamen provides a complete 15-year curriculum from Kindergarten through High School, with progressive and coherent transitions between each stage. The Kindergarten combines the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework with the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), follows China's Guidelines for the Learning and Development of Children Aged 3-6, and uses transdisciplinary inquiry to create an inclusive, supportive environment that balances early cognitive development with physical, social, and emotional growth.
The Primary School is grounded in China's nine-year compulsory education curriculum standards, incorporates IB educational principles, and pairs them with the Cambridge English curriculum through immersive language teaching. Inquiry-based instruction and varied assessment are complemented by an ECA programme organized around creativity, sport, and service, extending learning and enriching pupils' development. In Middle School, inquiry-based learning continues alongside progressive study within the Cambridge English framework. A wide range of activities broadens pupils' development, helps them discover their potential through practical projects, and steadily strengthens their overall capabilities.
The High School follows an integrated Chinese and international educational pathway. Alongside the required national curriculum and the development of cultural identity and civic commitment, it offers diverse international options, including more than 20 IGCSE and A-Level subjects as well as AP electives. A progressive art and design pathway supports applicants through a research-based portfolio model. The school also provides an English-immersive environment, small classes with differentiated instruction, and a staged English development pathway built across curriculum, activities, and university preparation.
The High School operates a distinctive house system. New pupils are randomly assigned to one of four houses - Apollo, Athena, Aphrodite, or Themis - bringing together pupils across year groups for academic, sporting, artistic, and service activities. CCA and ECA programmes also span technology, art, drama, sport, and other areas, enabling pupils to broaden their outlook and prepare confidently for varied future opportunities.
Professional Academic Guidance
The High School uses an academic mentoring system to identify pupils' academic potential through personalized guidance and provide comprehensive support for both academic and personal development. Mentors and pupils are matched through two-way interviews to support a well-informed fit. Once matched, mentors meet pupils weekly to address specific academic challenges and develop core capabilities such as independent learning and time management.
The mentoring team holds internal discussions every two weeks and works with departments across the school to continually refine guidance in response to pupils' changing needs. The High School also maintains a structured home-school partnership: academic mentors submit monthly guidance records, which homeroom teachers share with parents. This gives families a clear view of academic progress and personal development and brings home and school together in supporting each pupil.
High-Quality Campus Environment
The Chiway Repton Xiamen campus covers 55 mu, with a total floor area of 70,000 square metres. The school uses small-class teaching, has a 1:1 ratio of Chinese to international teachers, and provides 24 standard classrooms and 36 types of specialist learning spaces.

These spaces support academic learning, scientific exploration, traditional culture, artistic development, and physical education across regular lessons, enrichment courses, and clubs. The comprehensive facilities give pupils with different interests and strengths room to explore and demonstrate their abilities within an open, diverse, and modern environment designed for long-term growth.
