Australian Curriculum International Schools in Shanghai, China

A small group of internationally oriented schools in Shanghai follow the Australian Curriculum or adapt Australian state syllabuses for an international student body; these schools teach in English while routinely offering Mandarin language lessons and additional English-as-an-additional-language support. Senior-year pathways vary: some Australian-curriculum schools lead to Australian state certificates or ATAR-style outcomes, while others combine the Australian curriculum with international diplomas such as the IB or vocational programs. Families should be prepared for Shanghai’s relatively high international-school fees - reported averages for Australian-curriculum options sit in the mid-hundreds of thousands of RMB per year range - and for a compressed, tightly regulated admissions calendar that usually requires a foreign passport and early planning. Relocating parents benefit from checking specific senior-school qualification routes, the level of Mandarin and EAL support, and what their employer’s education allowance will cover before submitting applications.
