Affiliated School of JNU for Hong Kong and Macao's Students (ASJ) is an international school established under the background of the Greater Bay Area and the Pilot Demonstration Area. It is the first School for Hong Kong and Macao students in the Greater Bay Area under the supervision of a well-known university.We offer 15 years of consistent and high-quality international education for children (ages 3-18) of Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and expatriates.
“The Tradition of Jinan University; The Vision of the Greater Bay Area; The Characteristics of Hong Kong and Macao" are ASJ's positioning. ASJ is an international school established under the background of the Greater Bay Area and the Pilot Demonstration Area.
In less than 2 academic years, we successfully passed the International Baccalaureate Organization IBPYP and IBMYP program curriculum development supporting visit and review.
Today, ASJ has passed the new accreditation of CIS International School Alliance, providing students with the strongest international education program, paving the way for students' success step by step, and continuously growing into a core international school in the Greater Bay Area and the country.
In November, when the pandemic was continuing in Guangzhou, King Sir, the Chief principal of ASJ, received an email from the CIS Executive Director, from which we learned that we had passed the CIS certification and become a member of the CIS community.
This is undoubtedly exciting news, CIS international accreditation has been a high-quality national education certification model, and CIS member school means that the school has been recognized by government departments, education departments and universities all over the world. The international school has been recognized in all aspects, including infrastructure and staffing, as well as educational purpose and quality.
▲CIS Membership Certificate for ASJ
CIS (Council of International Schools) is a global non-profit organization founded to promote the development of high-quality International education. The Council of International Schools is a leader in the field of school evaluation and accreditation worldwide. They provide a unique international accreditation with a focus on student learning and global citizenship. To date, more than 530 CIS member schools have been granted accreditation. The quality and rigour of CIS International Accreditation is recognized by ministries, departments of education, and universities around the world as a demonstration of a school’s commitment to high-quality international education which also means that universities around the world will welcome students from CIS schools.
As an international school cultivating students from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese, ASJ has just entered its second year. It is like a baby, but with the care and guidance of governments at all levels and the unremitting efforts of the school management team, teachers, students and parents, ASJ is developed well and equipped with advanced training systems and policies as well as the characteristic education frameworks.
Applying for CIS certification will be a milestone in the development of the ASJ community.
Why is CIS certification so difficult?
According to the CIS application process, it takes at least five years for the school to submit multiple rounds of materials, become a CIS member school, CIS certification candidate school, and finally get CIS certification school. Numerous rounds of evaluation and on-site inspection are carried out in the following nine aspects: Objectives and direction of the school, management and leadership of the school, curriculum, teaching, learning and well-being of students, staff, Contracts & accommodation arrangements, Community & Family partners, boarding.
In addition, CIS requires certified schools to arrange a fixed time each week for self-learning and self-assessment, and invite the whole community (governance institutions, leadership, administrative staff, teachers, students and parents) to conduct a comprehensive assessment in the later period, to ensure that the school's philosophy is truly integrated into the actual education and teaching.
The Council of International schools handles the application in a peer-assessment manner, as teachers from international educational institutions around the world from CIS accredited schools will evaluate new schools applying for accreditation. The certified teachers are all practitioners with rich international teaching experience and can provide more practical plans and suggestions from professional perspectives.
Meet the key objectives of CIS
ASJ, as an IB school, aims to train young people to be open-minded, inquisitive, courageous, reflective, principled and caring citizens, which is highly in line with the objectives of CIS.
ASJ's multiculturalism is also in line with CIS's goals: as an international school for the children of Hong Kong and Macao, the school has a diverse staff, bilingual teaching in the school, and a co-leadership model, which promotes and enriches the children's experience of diversity and global citizenship.

Beyond the standards of CIS
CIS also pays attention to teaching and learning and student well-being. At ASJ, we believe that learning continues beyond the classroom.
We provided psychological teacher hotlines and students and parents can interact and communicate with us at any time. The Student Development Center has designed themed activities to enrich school life, such as the graduation ceremony 【ASJ Memories】, Bauhinia Festival, Winter Warmth Charity Sale and so on.
ASJ offers "ECA" courses that focus on the overall development of students, which are important parts of ASJ's holistic education. More than 100 well-balanced ECAs are offered to help students develop their leadership and creativity.
These are our strengths and the foundation of quality international education at ASJ.
