Reports to the Director of English as an Additional Language
School description: GUIS-NCPA is an English immersion secondary school for Chinese students located in the Nansha district of Guangzhou. We are a fully accredited (WASC) school with 19 Advanced Placement offerings, and a curriculum based on the US Common Core standards. We believe all teachers are language teachers, regardless of discipline. As a guiding framework for achieving the GUIS-NCPA mission, NCPA adheres to Stanford University’s Six Key Principles for Teaching English Language Learners. All classes are taught in English, except for Chinese literature. The EAL Specialist co-plans and co-teaches with the content teachers to ensure students learn English alongside the academic content of the course.
