At UISG, our commitment to nurturing every student’s potential is at the heart of our mission. Nowhere is this more evident than in the dynamic evolution of our English as an Additional Language (EAL) program this year. With a strategic, data-informed, and collaborative approach, we are not just teaching English, we are empowering students to thrive across the entire curriculum, fostering remarkable gains in confidence and capability.
As the university admissions season unfolds, we are thrilled to announce the outstanding early offers received by our Grade 12 students across both Utahloy International School Guangzhou (UISG) and Utahloy International School Zengcheng (UISZ).
Following the wonderful success of Book Week, we launch straight into another dynamic week for the start of February. I want to thank everyone who joined us for the Book Character Dress Up Parade and the ACAMIS Basketball Tournament at UISG.
Next week is packed with key events. Our Grade 10s will make important DP choices, and athletic, artistic, and academic events fill the schedule: MS Volleyball hosts ISA, a CNY Art Exhibit opens in the Admin Hall, Theatre Week begins with Grade 7’s “Comedy of Errors”, and the PYP CNY Performance on Thursday at 13:30 in the MFH.
Despite our short history, we are bursting with pride to announce that FOUR of our teams have already earned immediate qualification for the VEX Nationals in Shanghai this February 5-7!
UISG recently hosted a vibrant, full-day International Mother Tongue Day celebration that brought together secondary students, teachers, primary students, and parents in a shared appreciation of language and culture. The event was a joyful and meaningful reflection of our diverse community and the power of student-led initiatives.
We have a wonderful and busy week ahead, full of learning and fun! The excitement begins with our Annual Book Week – a special time for reading, stories, and imagination. Please join us for fun activities like our Book Character Dress-Up Parade next Friday morning at 8:45 am. At the same time, we are supporting our DP and MYP students asthey take important practice exams this week. I wish them all great success!
I’ve always believed Model UN teaches diplomacy. But at the recent U2NESCO conference hosted by our sister campus UISZ, I saw its true power: it uniquely builds quick thinking alongside deep empathy. This year’s conference pushed students to engage with complex global issues: climate justice for vulnerable nations, equitable access to education, disarmament, and the rights of refugees.
The corridors of Utahloy International School Guangzhou (UISG) recently resonated with a new kind of rhythm—the powerful, unfiltered pulse of student voice, awakened by the transformative visit of renowned Australian-Greek spoken word poet Luka Lesson. Over two dynamic days, Lesson moved beyond the role of guest speaker to become a more of a mentor, working intimately with students across a spectrum of language proficiencies and leaving an indelible mark on the school’s literary culture.
With Lunar New Year approaching, I would also like to gently remind everyone of this special time. The Year of the Horse symbolizes energy, perseverance, and forward momentum, qualities that resonate deeply with our community’s spirit.
ISMAG Rock Fest brought together music students from international schools across Guangzhou for an afternoon of community bonding and live rock music. It was hosted at The Goat in Panyu, a much-loved restaurant known for its indulgent cookie milkshakes and located near a dinosaur park and capybara petting zoo. The venue provided a setting that was informal, welcoming, and just unconventional enough to feel right for student performers stepping into the public eye.
