Results are out for the 2026 Hurun Education Annual Awards for International Education. Fettes College Guangzhou has been featured in the Top 100 International Schools in China, ranking No.1 among private schools in Guangzhou.
Beyond the ceremony, FCG focuses on articulating its educational vision. At the Hurun Education Principals’ Luncheon and Awards, the Expat and Chinese Heads of College were invited. Drawing on their years of school operation and leadership experience, they shared FCG’s practices and insights on personalised growth.
In Seeing Difference, Supporting Every Kind of Growth, Ms Julie shared how FCG recognises each child’s individuality and, through consistent, thoughtful educational support, guides students toward growth pathways tailored to them.
In One Framework, Individual Pathways, Mr Gakes explored how FCG uses the 6C to establish a shared value compass for students, while safeguarding ample space for each student’s individual growth.
At Hurun 27th Anniversary Celebration and Hurun Respected Entrepreneurs Awards Dinner, FCG received the “2026 Pioneer School in International Education” award and was the only school to receive this award that evening.
Fettes College Guangzhou won two major honours on its first-ever entry to the Hurun Education Annual Awards for International Education. This recognition celebrates six years of its practice and shines a light on its growth.
How has this six‑year‑old school become Guangzhou’s top private school? The answer is its proven, clear development system. With ongoing personalised support, it guides each child to find their calling and follow their own suitable path.
In the Forbes China Bilingual International Schools rankings, FCG took first place across all stages — Early Years through Senior School in Guangzhou — in 2025. In 2026, it kept the No.1 spot for Guangzhou’s bilingual highschool rankings. Both the Expat and Chinese Heads of College were honoured with the Forbes Distinguished Principal award.
In the HKPEP Top 50 Most Competitive International Schools in the Greater Bay Area, FCG has held the first position among private international schools in Guangzhou for three consecutive years.
In 2026, entering the Hurun Education for the first time, FCG was named among the "Top 100 International Schools in China – No.1 Private School in Guangzhou" and received the "2026 Pioneer School in International Education" award.
As of August 2026, three graduating cohorts at FCG have secured a total of 428 offers from the world’s top universities. Students have earned Oxbridge and G5 university offers for three consecutive years, with total scholarship awards amounting to RMB 18.51 million.
Statistics are merely results. What lies behind them are students with unique academic aspirations, interests and life plans. FCG holds that university acceptances are not education’s finish line, but a gateway to the next phase of life — one that comes as students develop self-awareness and an understanding of the world.
From courses to portfolios, from academics to applications, FCG guides students step by step — linking their interests, skills and ambitions. Every offer follows naturally from sustained effort.
As the sole overseas partner campus of Fettes College, FCG was co-founded by Fettes College and Country Garden Education. It consistently balances international educational expertise with local practical experience to forge growth pathways best-suited to its students.
In the Early Years, FCG adopts the UK’s EYFS framework integrated with IB PYP trans-disciplinary inquiry. For Primary and Middle School, the Chinese National Curriculum forms the foundation, delivered within the IB PYP and MYP frameworks. Senior School offers IGCSE, A-Level, AP and BTEC programmes, with additional learning opportunities delivered in partnership with CSVPA.
FCG carries forward the British boarding tradition, offering 5-day and 7-day boarding. Over 200 CCA programmes give students access to sports, arts, technology and culture beyond academics. Living side-by-side within the boarding community, students gradually build independence, self-discipline, tolerance and collaboration. Boarding is far more than accommodation; it is a formative lesson in responsibility, friendship and self-management.
FCG places student physical and mental wellbeing on equal footing with academic progress. When students face challenges or struggles, teachers, tutors and specialist teams' step in promptly to deliver practical, targeted guidance. Beyond knowledge and skills, we hope our students graduate with the inner strength to navigate their future independently.
From Hurun Education to cohorts of graduates going global, FCG holds one central conviction: education is not chasing one single answer. With a solid system, expert staff and consistent practices, we provide tangible, trustworthy growth support for all families.
Six years have seen our community flourish. Going ahead, with an open perspective, FCG will help young people uncover their passions, realise their potential and reach for wider opportunities.
