ISA Science City International School is proud to announce that this week the school has received the official letters from the International Baccalaureate Organisation, to confirm that we have been awarded full authorization to deliver the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP). These two programmes now join the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) to enable us to become a fully certified IB World School, offering the three main IB programmes.

广州科学城爱莎外籍人员子女学校在此隆重宣布：学校已通过国际文凭组织的全面授权，获得PYP (国际文凭幼小项目)和MYP (国际文凭中学项目)认证，加之于2021年获得的IBDP (国际文凭大学预科项目)认证，正式成为一所拥有IB全流程认证的国际文凭世界学校(IB World School)，为2-18岁的学生提供三大主要国际文凭项目。

The accreditation process was challenging and involved all members of the school community. Beyond the extensive review of policies, resources, facilities and staff readiness, the IB visiting team conducted further meetings to validate that ISASC was implementing the PYP and MYP Programmes to the required international standards in all IB Schools around the World. These meetings included the school leadership, Board, teachers, parents and students.

认证过程繁琐且极具挑战性，涉及学校全体成员。除了对学校政策、教学资源、校园设施和教职工情况进行长期的综合评估外，国际文凭组织的考察小组还召开了一系列会议，与包括校领导、董事会、教师、家长及学生在内的人员进行深入交流，以进一步审核学校是否严格遵照IB世界学校的国际标准提供PYP和MYP教学。

Over the past 18 months, faculty from three sub-schools have all undertaken the rigorous journey of developing a solid curriculum supported by the framework of the PYP and MYP. The visiting team made mention of the commitment of all staff and the high level of engagement from the Board to leadership, students, and parents.

在过去的18个月里，学校教学团队围绕PYP和MYP框架进行严谨的课程开发，融合东西方文化精粹，提供持续、稳定的高质量教学。项目认证过程中，授权访问小组高度肯定了学校自建校来的实践与成果，尤其是员工对学生的倾情投入，以及包括董事会、校领导层、学生和家长对学校建设的高度参与。

In general, it takes 3 to 5 years for a new school to achieve IB PYP and MYP accreditation, from the candidate list to authorised accreditation, before it can truly meet the standards and implementation requirements of the IBO. ISASC has successfully achieved full authorization within two years, which is a significant achievement and recognition of the school.

通常情况下，对于一所刚成立的新学校而言，从IB候选名单到授权认证，需要3-5年的时间得以达到IBO国际文凭组织的课程标准和实施要求。而爱莎科学城学校自建校起，在不到两年时间内便成功获得IB全流程认证，是对学校教育实力的肯定，具有里程碑意义。
