International Schools in Hangzhou, China

Hangzhou's international-school scene is a mix of full international programmes (mainly English-medium) and bilingual or Sino-international schools that combine English and Mandarin. Common curricula you will encounter include the International Baccalaureate, British (IGCSE/A-Level) and American-style diplomas, plus bilingual pathways that bridge Chinese and international systems. Published fee listings for Hangzhou show a broad range - roughly RMB 61,600 up to about RMB 491,240 per year - with many full international programmes sitting in the mid-to-upper part of that scale and additional costs for deposits, transport, lunches and extracurriculars. Most schools follow a Northern-Hemisphere academic calendar with a main intake in August/September (applications often open in the previous autumn and run through winter), though many accept rolling or mid-year admissions; check each school’s entry rules because some are licensed to enrol mainly children with foreign passports while bilingual/private schools may admit Chinese nationals under different arrangements.
