IB Curriculum International Schools in Shenzhen, China

IB international schools in Shenzhen typically offer the IB Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes (either as a full continuum or with a standalone DP in the upper years) and are concentrated in districts such as Shekou, Nanshan and Futian. Instruction is usually in English, with Mandarin taught as a core language and an increasing number of bilingual English - Mandarin IB options available; mother-tongue support and additional languages are common. Annual day-school fees vary widely but commonly fall into the mid-hundreds of thousands of RMB, and families should budget separately for application fees, deposits, transport, meals and trips. Many Shenzhen international schools are licensed to admit mainly foreign, Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan passport holders and run a main intake for the new school year plus frequent mid-year placements, so parents should prepare passport and residency documentation and expect waiting lists.
