About international schools in China
British-curriculum international schools in China typically deliver the English National Curriculum in English, adapted for an international setting and commonly leading to Cambridge/IGCSE examinations at 14 - 16 and A-levels (or, in some schools, an alternative senior pathway such as the IB Diploma) at 16 - 18. Mandarin is widely taught as a second language and many schools offer bilingual strands or extra-mandarin support while keeping classroom instruction mostly in English. Fees vary strongly by city and by school tier: in major cities you should expect a broad band from roughly the mid-hundreds of thousands of RMB per year at long-established premium campuses down to substantially lower rates at smaller or bilingual schools, with additional charges (application fees, deposits, transport and activities) on top. Most schools run a Northern-Hemisphere calendar with the main intake for new places in August/September, and assessments and offers commonly take place in the months before that; some schools also accept rolling applications if places open up.
