Foreign programmes

Project Global Access

The Project Global Access (PGA) programme is an arrangement that The Second High School Attached to Beijing Normal University, along with for that matter quite a number of schools in China, has with the China Center for International Educational Exchange (CCIEE). The programme has expanded dramatically in size from only a handful of foreign teachers and several dozens of students to currently 14 foreign teachers (from Australia, Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand and the United States) and to several hundreds of students. Students take modules divided into 3 levels, covering English language and communication ability, science, mathematics and data processing ability, the ability to use computers, business learning ability and independent study skills. Students completing this programme can proceed to university, either in China or abroad. Students in this programme receive instruction in both English and Chinese.

The "Saint Paul" in Saint Paul American School refers to the city in Minnesota. Its focus differs from PGA's in that it provides an American Style Education and mainly serves on foreign students living in Beijing. Most students in this programme are South Korean, although other nationalities are represented.
