Academic Requirement

Academics are an essential prerequisite for entry to OTIA High School and successful application to the world’s leading universities. Our academic assessment is diverse, incorporating the traditional assessment under the framework of the Syllabus, the standardized assessment of MYP knowledge utilization, inquiry and planning, application and performance, and the third-party standardized assessment of Cambridge and TOEFL Junior, so that we do not only judge students on the basis of a single examination paper. At the same time, we also put forward strict requirements on students’ academic performance. The academic integrity is a red line that cannot be touched, and the improvement of academic performance is the common goal of teachers and students.

Overall Development

While emphasizing reading and in-depth writing in the language, we focus on improving students’ English expression and international perspective, with an emphasis on logical thinking.The integrated curriculum provides a platform for solid basic education in math and science at home and the expansion of competitions abroad.
