ABSTRACT

This research investigates the International Access Project (IAP) international high school curriculum program, one of the emerging international curricular programs in China. The Guidelines marked a new development in the internationalization and modernization of the Chinese education system as a response to the pressure from global education policies. China Bridge is a key organization in facilitating the establishment and development of Sunny High IAP program. Global Assessment Certificate (GAC) is a university preparation program, which was originally developed by Campus Group International Education Services, Inc. (CGIES) in 1995. China Bridge is a for-profit International Education Services firm created by China Center for International Education Exchange (CCIEE). Network ethnography provides "a mapping of the form and content of policy relations in a particular field" and "offers a broader and richer access to the 'social' in social networks than has been the case using just terrestrial data".
