When a school has been authorized to offer a particular curriculum program, when it has met the membership requirements for international school organizations, and when it has been formally accredited for having met the international standards set by one of the global school standards agencies, then parents can be assured that the learning environment and the assessment reports for their children meet stringent international standards and will be recognized by other schools as such. Graduates can have confidence that their Sias International School of Zhengdong New District, Zhengzhou (Sias IS) diploma will be recognized by universities around the world.

Why choose a WASC-accredited school?
IBO was established by UNESCO in Geneva, Switzerland in 1968 to serve the global transferability of education for children of mobile communities such as diplomats and members of international organizations.
Sias International School is now the only authorized International Baccalaureate World School for both the PYP and MYP in Henan. Official approval that the school met the criteria for the IB PYP and MYP came on May 18th, 2023 and March 5th, 2024 respectively.
Sias International School of Zhengdong New District, Zhengzhou is a candidate school* for the Diploma Programme. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy- a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education- that we believe is important for our students.
* Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.
