Golf at CIS | Golf lessons here, no "ceiling"
In recent years, a growing interest in sports-related study abroad programs has emerged in China. At CIS, sports education has long been a priority. Sports not only strengthen the body but also nurture emotions, fortify willpower, and foster character—a vital aspect of holistic education.
Since its founding, CIS has integrated sports as one of its three pillars of specialized education, placing it on equal footing with STEAM and the arts to create a well-rounded educational environment. Sports are central to CIS’s mission to cultivate character, encouraging students from primary through high school to engage in, sustain, and love sports. CIS ensures students meet daily exercise requirements and offers diverse, internationally designed sports facilities, enabling students to discover joy in movement and develop a lifelong passion for physical activity.
Golf, as a sport full of challenges and charm, has gained unique development space at CIS. Since the establishment of the New Star Golf Academy last year, CIS has fully supported the provision of a "ceiling-free" golf course platform for students, aiming to cultivate their globally competitive golf skills. Moreover, through this sport, it hones students' resilience, concentration, and patience, helping them cope with future global challenges.

At the golf program's conclusion event last year, students and their parents participated together, showcasing the growth and progress students had achieved throughout the program.

During the event, the coaches arranged challenges for parents and children to complete together, which enhanced their communication and interaction, allowing parents to intuitively feel the positive impact of the golf program on their children's growth.

CIS's golf program provides students with unique competitiveness for further education. Through close cooperation with Junlan Golf, students have the opportunity to participate in competitions at all levels and plan their further education paths based on their results. As a high-end sport, golf has become an important criterion for many international schools and universities to evaluate students' comprehensive quality, enhancing their competitiveness in the further education application process.

For example, the outstanding results achieved by Li Minghui, a Grade 11 student mentioned earlier, in golf competitions have successfully enhanced her personal profile, laying a solid foundation for her future applications to top universities worldwide. Her excellent performance not only demonstrates her talent and hard work in the field of golf but also opens up more further education opportunities for her.
With the continuous upgrading of the courses at Rising Stars Golf Academy, the cooperation between CIS and Junlan Golf Academy will be further deepened. Both parties are committed to improving the quality of the courses and expanding international perspectives. In the future, we will introduce more advanced technologies to support students' golf dreams and academic development. CIS's golf program is not only a part of physical education, but also an important platform for students' all-round growth. It helps them develop comprehensively in academics, sports and character, and gradually become leaders in various fields in the future.
