Academic Integrity & Admissions Policies

At Guangdong Country Garden School, we uphold the highest standards of academic integrity across all programs—AP, IB, and A-Level—aligning with the rigorous expectations of global awarding bodies such as the IBO, Cambridge International, and the College Board. Academic honesty is non-negotiable: all coursework, examinations, and predicted grades must reflect students’ genuine abilities, free from plagiarism, unauthorized collaboration, or external assistance. We enforce strict protocols to safeguard exam security and ensure fairness, mirroring the collaborative efforts highlighted in the IB’s joint statement with Cambridge, OxfordAQA, and Pearson to combat malpractice and protect the integrity of international qualifications.

Our commitment extends to ethical college admissions practices. Predicted grades, critical for IB and A-Level applications, are assigned with meticulous accuracy and transparency, ensuring they align with students’ demonstrated performance. For Early Decision (ED) applicants, acceptance of an ED offer is binding. Students are required to immediately withdraw all other applications upon receiving an ED admission, honoring the exclusivity of this commitment. These policies, reinforced through counseling sessions and signed student agreements, underscore our dedication to fostering trust, accountability, and respect for global educational standards.
