Fettes College Guangzhou unites two world-class institutions: Country Garden Education Group and Fettes College, Edinburgh.  

Founded in 1994, Country Garden Education Group is China’s largest bilingual school provider and the first education group in China authorised to offer all three IB programmes. It has led the integration of high-quality Chinese and international education for three decades.

Fettes College, established in 1870, is one of the UK’s leading independent boarding and day schools, with over 150 years of excellence in academics, sport, and character education.

This partnership creates a school combining Eastern depth and Western breadth—offering students the best of both worlds.

· Small Class Sizes

With a maximum of 24 students per class, every child is known as an individual. Our low student-to-teacher ratio ensures personalised instruction, tailored feedback, and meaningful academic challenge.

· A Bilingual Co-Teaching Model

Every homeroom is led by both a Chinese teacher and an experienced international teacher. Through collaborative planning and delivery, students benefit from bilingual, cross-cultural instruction that strengthens critical thinking, creativity, and communication.

Additionally, a dedicated pastoral team supports each class, ensuring well-being and academic progress go hand in hand.

· Exceptional International Faculty

Our community includes more than 100 Chinese and international educators and boarding staff. Teachers from the UK, New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa and beyond work alongside Chinese teachers with strong international backgrounds. Together, they create a vibrant multicultural learning environment.

· Co-Leadership for Global Vision

Chinese and international leaders work together with shared responsibility and vision, modelling collaboration, respect, and global mindedness throughout the school.

Students at FCG have secured offers from prestigious institutions, including the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, Imperial College London, the University of Hong Kong, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Our graduates have also been accepted to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, UC San Diego, UC Davis, University of British Columbia (UBC), University of Toronto, top art schools (including University of the Arts London, Rhode Island School of Design, The New School, Pratt Institute, and Berklee College of Music), and other universities ranked within the QS Top 25 globally.

Our College Guidance Programme, delivered in partnership with the Country Garden College Guidance Centre, supports students throughout senior school, becoming increasingly personalised as they mature.

Senior students receive expert counselling, strategic application planning, essay tutoring, interview preparation, and specialised programmes such as “Advanced Tutoring Programme” and the Ivy League/Elite Camp with Country Garden Group.

Ambition is matched with structure, expertise, and personalised support.
