We are thrilled to share exciting news: LEH Foshan has achieved breakthrough growth across all phases in the 2026 Forbes China International School Rankings.
Our Senior School (Key Stage 4-5) ranking has jumped from 44th to 28th nationwide in the High School category
Our Middle School (Key Stage 3) has made its debut on the list, ranking 26th nationwide in the Junior School category
This milestone is an authoritative recognition of the school’s teaching quality, academic outcomes and holistic education ethos across all phases, as well as a testament to LEH Foshan’s ever-growing educational strength.
The Forbes listing reflects what we at LEH Foshan already know to be true: our school is growing bolder every day. Our students and staff continue to thrive in a culture of success, ambition, and opportunity, where young people are encouraged to challenge themselves, embrace creativity, and pursue excellence with confidence. This recognition celebrates not only academic achievement, but also the strength of our community and the shared commitment to helping every student become the very best version of themselves.
Outstanding Academic Performances
Our Key Stage 4-5’s strong upward momentum stems from our unwavering commitment to academic excellence and personalised university guidance system. The Class of 2026 has received nearly 80 offers from top universities worldwide so far, including Imperial College London, King's College London, and the University of California, Davis, across diverse fields such as engineering, humanities, the arts and sciences. These offers reflect our students’ solid academic foundation and global competitiveness.
At the IGCSE stage, students have also achieved outstanding results with an exceptional 58% of grades at A*-A and a remarkable 91% at A*-C, places them well above the average attainment level of students in the UK. Our dedicated university counselling team supports students every step of the way, from subject selection and enrichment activities to personal statement refinement, tailoring a unique path for each student to reach their dream universities.
It is fantastic to see the progress made by the school being recognised in such a prestigious way. As LEH Foshan continues to grow, we continue to strengthen our processes and build on the solid foundations laid by those who have worked here since the school opened. Being new to the school myself, I could see straight away that there is so much commitment and compassion that has gone into making the school so successful in supporting young people in growing, academically and personally. Now, we aim to strategically reinforce this strong practice whilst also being creative in taking the next steps.
Holistic Education & All-Round Development
The Key Stage 3’s first appearance on the list is a powerful testament to our holistic education philosophy. We focus not only on academic development, but also on nurturing students’ well-rounded skills through diverse experiences. Enriching activities and competitions like World Book Week, IGCSE Option Evening and Swimming Competitions, take learning beyond the classroom, allowing students to develop inquiry skills and teamwork in real-world contexts.
Campus activities such as Shrek Musical, International Day, and House Touch Rugby Competition provide students with platforms to showcase their talents and push their limits. We believe these experiences help students build independent, confident and empathetic characters, fully preparing them for the challenges of Senior School.
Vibrant Learning Journey in Prep School
Prep School is where children begin their journey of discovery, filled with energy, warmth and the joy of growth. From lunchtime concerts and themed learning activities to outdoor sports, children develop interests, build confidence, and learn to express themselves and collaborate with others through vibrant campus life.
Meanwhile, our well-established parent-school communication system, including Settling Meeting, Parent Workshops and Parent-Teacher-Conference, ensures that families and the school work hand in hand to support children through every important stage of their growth, witnessing their transformation from curious learners to confident explorers.
The addition of 20 more schools from the Greater Bay Area has really widened the competition, bringing in new challengers with strong regional support, talented students, and innovative ideas. Even in this busy environment, staying in the top 25 is a great sign of resilience and ongoing excellence. It shows that LEH Prep School continues to stand out and outperform most of its peers across the country, helping us maintain our reputation, confidence, and appeal to top students.
Every step forward is made possible by the dedication of our students and staff, and the trust and support of our families. This recognition from the Forbes rankings is not just an achievement, but a new beginning and a driving force for us to keep moving forward.
We warmly invite you to join our upcoming Open Day, step into the real lessons, experience our educational philosophy and campus atmosphere, and witness firsthand the growth and transformation of our students.
