A foreign-passport-only British-international day school (ages 2–18) in Pudong, running the English National Curriculum and IGCSE into the IB Diploma. It is effectively closed to ordinary Chinese mainland nationals — a foreign passport or foreign-residency status is required under Shanghai Education Commission rules — and pairs a strong school-reported IB record (38.1/45 average in 2025) with deep accreditation across CIS, IBO, WASC and Cambridge.
A fully bilingual (English–Mandarin) British international day school in Pudong's New Bund district, following the English National Curriculum and IGCSE into a bilingual IB Diploma. It is an international school under Shanghai's SHMEC rules — open to foreign-passport families and defined returnee / HK-Macau-Taiwan / foreign-PR pathways, but not to ordinary Chinese mainland nationals, who attend its bilingual sister school, Huili.
A foreign-passport / expatriate international school (it enrols children of foreign passport holders and cannot admit mainland Chinese nationals) distinguished by one of China's deepest English–Chinese bilingual models — including dual native-English / native-Chinese co-teachers in the early years and a Western–Chinese co-leadership structure. It runs a British-rooted Cambridge IGCSE → IB Diploma pathway and is CIS-accredited.
