Founded in 1994, the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) is a full-boarding private school invested and founded by Country Garden, mainly recruiting Chinese students. As the oldest international school in Guangzhou, Country Garden School is characterized by its mature management system and history, which is essential for education.

In addition to the common teaching buildings, laboratory buildings, dormitory buildings, libraries, youth palaces, opera houses, pottery halls, etc., the gym is equipped with MATRIX commercial series fitness equipment to ensure a better experience for teachers and students. In addition, there are standard PU basketball courts, volleyball courts and badminton courts with a total area of 19,900 square meters, a comprehensive gymnasium of 2,400 square meters, a 25×50m standard swimming pool and a 25×10m indoor constant temperature swimming pool, a campus hilltop observatory equipped with a 200mm aperture astronomical telescope, 102 independent piano rooms, four libraries of kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school and high school that integrate reading, exploration and book collection, as well as a choir room equipped with a Yamaha grand piano, etc. All of them enable students to have a first-class life and learning experience.

Not only is the hardware facilities first-class, but the teachers of Country Garden School are also strong. It has a team of more than 700 teachers, including a lot of returned doctors, masters, including 103 foreign cadres and teachers, 31 returnee teachers, the average age of 36 years old, strong and high teaching level, many teachers have won the title of national outstanding teachers and provincial and municipal teaching experts. There are a few regrets about the teachers in the lower grades, and there are fewer teachers who graduated from prestigious schools. However, the mature management system and experience have made up for this, the teachers are generally professional and caring, and the school's assessment of teachers is mature and in place.

Country Garden School advocates personalized education and puts forward the goal of "tailoring the most suitable education for students". For each course project, a wide range of subjects are offered, such as 27 subjects for DP, 18 subjects for A-Level, 15 subjects for IFY, 16 subjects for AP, etc. Each subject is graded and graded, and students choose the corresponding subject and level according to their own interests and actual conditions.

The College Counseling Center is composed of experienced experts and teachers at home and abroad, combining students' interests, personality strengths, academic performance and other factors, to provide personalized advice and guidance for each student, help students plan the direction of curriculum and professional development, so that students have a clearer understanding of their future development. From the 9th and 10th grades, students are consciously guided to move closer to the direction they like and have expertise. Country Garden School has also established a safety and mental health education center, which is rare in other schools, to gain an in-depth understanding of students' psychological conditions, ensure the safety of the psychological environment for students' healthy and happy growth, and help students become people who respect life and have a sound personality.

In terms of life, the boarding management is mature and sound, but the canteen is often complained about by students, and it does not match the grade of the school. Another slot is the school uniform, which is not much different from the inferior and ugly school uniforms of students all over China, and some of them are cheap.

In 2017, Country Garden School's DP program made a breakthrough compared with the past: 14 students scored 40 points or more, with the highest score of 44 points (45 points out of 45, and 36 points or more are excellent, and they can apply to the world's top universities); 60.7% of students scored 36 and above; The average score is 36.5 points, which is better than the world average. In terms of AP international exams, the average score is as high as 4.5 (5 points are the highest), and if you are interested in allowing your children to enter foreign universities directly, Country Garden School is also a good choice.
