International Schools in Chongqing, China

Chongqing’s international schools are a small but growing sector that commonly combine English-medium international curricula with a strong Chinese-language component, so many families find bilingual British-style, IB and American-curriculum options in the city. Programmes on offer include the International Baccalaureate and Cambridge/IGCSE and British or American-style pathways, and several schools advertise explicitly bilingual English - Chinese teaching. Annual tuition at international programmes in Chongqing typically sits in the high five-figure to low six-figure range in RMB - directory data for the city recently shows a broad band around about 190,000 - 308,000 RMB per year, though fees vary by grade, campus and extras. Most schools operate a main August/September intake and ask families to begin applications many months earlier; note that mainland Chinese regulations and school policies mean some international programmes prioritise applicants holding foreign passports, while separate bilingual or “international division” streams may admit local families under different rules.
