International schools
There are three main international schools in Macau:
- The International School of Macau focuses primarily on Canadian curriculum. The school is located in Taipa, not far from Macau International Airport. Currently, there are over 1,000 students from 44 different countries studying at the school.
- School of the Nations is another international school in Macau, owned by the Badi Foundation. The school identifies its mission as 'integrating intellectual and spiritual education', and its approach is partially based on the teachings of the Baha'i Faith.
- Macau Anglican College is government-funded Christian school located in Taipa. The school follows a British curriculum and provides education from kindergarten to senior secondary level.
Depending on the time of your application, you may or may not be put on a waiting list. Thus, it is recommended that you contact your selected international school as soon as possible upon your arrival to enquire about available spots.
For very young children, hiring a live-in nanny is very popular in the region, especially among the full-time employed residents.The city also has a number of nurseries and kindergartens that can tend to the children when the parents are at work.
