It is one of the first 13 foreign language schools in the country with the qualification of sending students, and it is also one of the three private schools in Guangzhou with a repetition rate of more than 50% in the college entrance examination in 2017. Founded in 1993, Guangzhou Guangwai Foreign Language School (hereinafter referred to as Guangwai Foreign Language School) is an experimental school for quality education with English characteristics founded by Guangdong University of Foreign Studies.

Located in Dalang, Baiyun District, Guangwai School integrates primary schools, covering an area of 320 acres, with a construction area of 130,000 square meters, and first-class environment and facilities. The school attaches great importance to the construction of informatization, with 6 computer classrooms, 2 CAI (computer-aided teaching) classrooms and 1 electronic reading room, with more than 1,300 computers and a student-to-computer ratio of 3.5:1. In addition, the school also has a 400-meter all-plastic sports field, a standard swimming pool, a gymnasium, 30 basketball courts, 30 physical and chemical laboratories, 108 piano rooms, 3 dance studios, 2 choir rooms and 1 martial arts training room, etc., which can fully meet the needs of students' all-round development.

As can be seen from the name of the school, the school is characterized by foreign languages. More than 30 foreign teachers from the United States and the United Kingdom are responsible for oral English teaching. The school's second language courses include Japanese, French, Spanish, German, Russian, etc., and are only offered in the first and second years of high school.

In addition to classroom teaching, the school also actively organizes "foreign language festival" activities, encouraging students to participate in speech competitions, debate competitions, class meeting competitions, short drama competitions, campus singing competitions and other activities, cultivating and strengthening students' communication skills and language application skills, and creating a strong foreign language learning atmosphere on campus. Of course, in addition to English, the school also offers special courses such as information technology courses, activity courses, and school-based courses, so that students can discover themselves in various activities.

In terms of class setting, there are Davis classes, Zongdai classes and Yunshan classes, among which the Davis class is the key class. The curriculum of the Davis class consists of three modules: "Mingde Course", "Erudite Course" and "Shangxing Course", "Southern Guangdong Sages" (introducing the deeds and quotations of 56 historical celebrities in Guangdong) in the "Mingde" module, "Yunshan Poetry Union" (learning the classics and reciting Mongolian studies), and "Zong Dai's works" in the "Erudite" module (Liang Zongdai is a famous modern poet, translator and scholar, known as "China's Byron", "Shakespeare's best translator of sonnets", and was a professor of Guangwai before his death) are all unique courses of the school, "Shang Xing" The modules include practical courses such as overseas study tours. In addition, the teaching of the Davis class selects excellent teaching materials at home and abroad, and hires professionals to undertake relevant teaching tasks to broaden students' knowledge inside and outside the classroom. The Zongdai class is a bilingual class with a language test for admission, while the Yunshan class is a parallel class.

The school has many clubs such as street dance club, literature club, radio station, etc., and the auditorium of the school's Huanghua Building has a "night show" every day, according to statistics, the number of activities here on weekdays is 1.5 per day. In addition, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a "carnival" for the whole school, with food, water gun fights, flea markets, and ...... They all appeared on this night, and thousands of people gathered, and the scene was shocking.

The school is mainly a boarding system, with a dormitory for 6 people, equipped with air conditioning and independent toilets, and each class is equipped with a full-time life teacher to manage the students' food and daily life. The school does not arrange morning exercises, and the lights go out at 10:30 p.m. There is a security department in the living area, and the security guards patrol 24 hours a day, and the living area and teaching area are equipped with fire-fighting equipment and safety alarm equipment. High school boarding students can only go home once every two weeks, and classes are held on Saturdays and Sundays of the week, and not for consecutive weeks if it falls on a holiday. The school canteen focuses on updating the variety of dishes, and is the first batch of food safety demonstration units in Baiyun District. Students can take the school bus to and from their weekends home.

Finally, there is a cold knowledge that Guangwai School may be the only school in Guangdong Province that does not have a commissary. In 2015, the school asked parents for advice on the commissary, and the parents believed that the absence of a commissary was one of the characteristics of the school, so this feature has been retained to this day.

Tuition: 29,000 RMB/semester
