School Profile
The Affiliated High School of South China Normal University, and abbreviated as Huafu in Chinese, is located in Guangzhou, China. It was established in 1952 and is co-managed by the Ministry of Education of Guangdong Province and South China Normal University. It is widely regarded as the most prestigious and high-achieving high school in Guangdong province.
Huafu International Department (HFI), founded in 2004 and accredited by the Education Department of Guangdong Province, operates as a comprehensive three-year high school. The International Department is staffed with over 70 professionals, with teachers from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, India, Ireland, China and others; 75% of our teachers hold Masters degrees or higher. It is one of the most selective high school programs in South China, admitting only 10% of applicants annually.
HFI provides an English high school transcript for all enrolled students. According to the Chinese Education System, students finish their 9th grade in middle school, not high school, and our high school program is therefore grades 10 through 12. Students must submit their 9th grade transcripts when they are admitted to our program.
The students attending the school are of extremely high academic merit, any of whom would place in the highest tier of a typical high school. It would be misleading to rank such high achieving students. Courses in the school (both AP and non- AP) are either advanced or accelerated courses, and all gain an additional 1 point on the GPA scale.
