International Schools in Shanghai, China

Shanghai’s international-school market is unusually large and diverse for an Asian city, with four dozen or more campuses offering international, bilingual and foreign-national programmes across the city. English-medium curricula are common - International Baccalaureate, British (IGCSE/A-level) and American (US curriculum/AP) pathways feature widely - while separate French, German, Japanese and Korean schools and a number of Chinese - English bilingual schools are also available. Fees are high by regional standards: published tuition medians sit in the low hundreds of thousands of renminbi and typical school budgets usually allow for additional charges for transport, meals, capital levies and activities. Admissions follow a northern-hemisphere rhythm (main intake in August/September), places at popular year groups often fill early, and families normally begin enquiries and applications many months before a planned move.
