Introduction

BASIS International School Wuhan is an international and bilingual Pre‑K–12 school located at No. 27 Jiataohe Road, Hongshan District, Wuhan, Hubei, China. The school is part of the BASIS network and teaches an American-style BASIS curriculum; it accepts children from age 3 up to age 18 and opened its Wuhan campus in September 2023, initially serving Pre‑K through Grade 9 while expanding to a full Pre‑K–Grade 12 model. Instruction in the international programme is delivered in English, while the bilingual stream integrates the BASIS programme with the compulsory Chinese national curriculum and Mandarin language study. Published campus facilities include spacious classrooms, gymnasiums, multiple performance spaces, science laboratories, a swimming pool and student dormitories. The school's provision is presented by the network as offering both international and bilingual pathways on the same campus and emphasises the combination of BASIS pedagogy with elements of the Chinese curriculum in its bilingual programme.

The Essentials

Location
BASIS International & Bilingual School Wuhan is located in Hongshan District of Wuhan (listed as No. 25–27 Jiataohe Road in public listings), an established education and residential area of the city near central Wuhan landmarks. The school is in the provincial capital of Hubei, with typical city transport links to the rest of Wuhan and Tianhe International Airport; check local maps for exact travel times from neighbourhoods.

Stages
The school opened in fall 2023 serving Early Childhood (Pre‑K) and primary/middle year groups and launched with Grades Pre‑K through Grade 9; it is planned to expand to a full Pre‑K–Grade 12 (ages 3–18). Admissions and year‑group availability may change as the campus grows, so check current intake with the school.

Type
BASIS Wuhan is a mixed (co‑educational), independent international school and part of the BASIS International & Bilingual Schools network. The campus includes boarding/dormitory facilities: published listings note dorms are provided for students from Grade 5 upward.

Additional learning support
The school uses a co‑teaching model in Early Years and Primary where a Subject Expert Teacher (SET) works alongside a Learning Enhancement Teacher (LET); LETs focus on differentiation, in‑class support and language acquisition, and the network also describes dedicated ELL support. For specific Individual Education Plan (IEP) or specialist SEN provisions and capacity, contact the school's admissions or student support team as policies and resourcing are handled at campus level.

Country affiliation
BASIS Wuhan is part of the BASIS International Schools network (a network of BASIS Curriculum schools operating internationally) rather than being affiliated to a particular national government or education authority.

Religious affiliation
The school's public materials list it as an independent international school and do not show any religious affiliation. If a faith‑based programme is important to your family, confirm directly with the school.

School day structure
There are references to school‑provided lunches and a programme of after‑school activities (ASAs) in published school profiles, but explicit daily start/end times and the exact break/lunch schedule are not publicly listed on the school pages I checked. For precise school‑day times, staggered starts (if any), and childcare/aftercare options, contact the admissions office or request the current parent handbook or prospectus.

Bus service
Public information indicates BASIS Wuhan offers a school bus service and provides on‑campus lunches; however, specific route maps, pick‑up points, providers, costs and booking arrangements are not published in the sources checked. If you need bus service (or details about boarding transport and fees), ask the admissions team for current routes, schedules and safety procedures.

Fees

Annual tuition at BASIS International School Wuhan ranges from RMB 211,220 to RMB 294,510 for 2026/27.

Tuition fees (annual amounts by year group)

- Kindergarten 1 (PreK / age 3): RMB 211,220 per year.
- Kindergarten 2 (age 4): RMB 211,220 per year.
- Kindergarten 3 (age 5): RMB 236,580 per year.
- Grades 1–5: RMB 258,020 per year.
- Grades 6–8: RMB 280,500 per year.
- Grades 9–12: RMB 294,510 per year.

Note: the school's published figures appear as annual tuition amounts. A per-term breakdown was not published for the Wuhan campus in the sources reviewed; therefore a specific per-term fee (number of terms × amount) for the Wuhan campus is not available in public materials. The annual figures above are the published tuition levels found in publicly available fee compilations for BASIS China campuses.

Application / enrolment fees and deposits

- No Wuhan-specific application fee or enrolment deposit amount was found publicly on an official Wuhan fee page. Compilations of BASIS China campuses commonly list an application fee in the range of RMB 2,000 and a refundable materials/deposit figure (examples from other BASIS campuses have shown deposits such as RMB 3,000), but an explicit Wuhan campus figure was not published in the sources located. Use of these campus-wide examples is for context only.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The Wuhan campus fees identified in public sources are presented as annual tuition amounts. A published Wuhan billing schedule (for example: whether fees are billed annually, by semester, or by term; exact due dates; and accepted installment plans) was not located in the public materials reviewed. Other BASIS China campuses commonly state annual billing with options or deadlines that vary by campus; specifics for Wuhan were not available.

Boarding / accommodation fees

- BASIS's Wuhan campus is described in network materials as having student dorms on site, indicating boarding facilities exist. However, I did not find a published Wuhan-specific boarding fee schedule (room types or yearly boarding charges) in the public sources reviewed. Other BASIS campuses publish boarding fees that vary widely by campus and room type (examples in the network range from around RMB 30,000 per year up to significantly higher levels depending on campus and accommodation), but no Wuhan-specific boarding price list was located.

Other typical costs and charges (items commonly charged in addition to core tuition)

- Textbooks / materials: not listed for Wuhan; other BASIS campuses commonly charge book/materials fees or a refundable equipment deposit (examples ~RMB 2,000–3,000 on some campuses).
- Meals: school meal charges (breakfast, lunch) are commonly additional and billed separately at BASIS campuses; no Wuhan-specific meal price was published in the materials found.
- School bus / transportation: commonly extra (example ranges for other BASIS campuses ~RMB 9,600–11,000 per year); no Wuhan-specific published route fees located.
- Uniforms: commonly charged separately; examples from other BASIS campuses show uniform packages around RMB 2,800–3,200; no official Wuhan uniform price list located.
- Insurance (student accident/medical), extracurricular activity fees, exam fees and educational trips: these items are commonly charged in addition to tuition at BASIS campuses; no Wuhan-specific line-item values were published in the sources reviewed.

Refund information and withdrawal-related policy

- A Wuhan-specific published refund policy (for example, precise refund schedules tied to withdrawal dates) was not located in public materials. At other BASIS China campuses the standard phrasing appearing in public fee notices is that tuition covers the academic year and that certain charges (application fees, activity fees, or similar) may be non-refundable; some campus notices explicitly state that missed attendance or absence does not entitle a fee refund. No Wuhan campus page with a formal refund table or precise refund deadlines was available in the public sources reviewed.

Accepted payment methods (examples and practice across the BASIS China network)

- I did not find a Wuhan campus–specific published list of accepted payment methods. Across BASIS China campuses and comparable international schools, common payment methods include bank transfer (domestic and international remittance), and online portal payments; some campuses accept card or online payment channels for parent convenience. No Wuhan-specific payment-portal or bank-account instructions were located in the public materials reviewed.

Summary of findings and missing items (what was not publicly available in the sources reviewed)

- Publicly available fee compilations provide annual tuition amounts for Wuhan by year group (these are the core, load-bearing figures listed above).
- The following items were not found in a Wuhan-specific published fee schedule in the sources reviewed: a formal per-term fee schedule (explicit per-term amounts), an official Wuhan application/enrolment fee and deposit amount, a Wuhan boarding-fee schedule, Wuhan-specific published meal / bus / uniform price lists, the campus's formal refund schedule and the Wuhan campus's official payment instructions (bank account, portal or card options). Because those specific line items were not published in the Wuhan sources located, I have indicated representative examples from other BASIS China campuses for context where relevant.

BASIS Wuhan is listed as accredited by Cognia.
Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
BASIS International & Bilingual Schools Wuhan describes a House system and after‑school opportunities that aim to build community and student engagement; the school's founding‑year blog also reports the library staying open extra hours for student study and reflection and records nearly 3,100 hours of student support provided by staff in the first year. These items are presented as part of the school's student life and support activity reporting. The school's recruitment materials for senior/primary leadership also reference responsibilities for establishing student‑support programmes.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
BASIS Wuhan has advertised ELL/ELL Teacher roles for its Wuhan campus, indicating the school recruits staff to support learners of English as an additional language; the school's founding‑year blog also reports tracking English reading and language growth. However, I did not find a detailed public EAL programme description (hours, entry/exit criteria or stage‑by‑stage curriculum) for the Wuhan campus in the materials reviewed.

Mental Wellbeing
Public information about the Wuhan campus describes boarding provision (including boarding staff) and pastoral routines as part of student life, and notes extracurricular and library provisions intended to support students' wellbeing. The school's public blog and recruitment/prospectus listings mention student support activity but do not publish a campus‑level mental‑health/counselling team or a named counselling programme that I could locate. If you need names/roles of counsellors or details of referral pathways, I can try to obtain those from the school.

Safeguarding
I was not able to find a Wuhan campus safeguarding or child‑protection policy posted on the public pages and prospectus materials I reviewed; the school's public materials and job adverts reference student safety and support in general terms but do not present a Wuhan‑specific child‑protection policy document online. If you require the school's formal safeguarding policy or the contact details for the Designated Safeguarding Lead, I can request those or attempt a deeper search for a published policy document.
Parent Experience

History
BASIS International & Bilingual Schools Wuhan opened in the fall of 2023 as the BASIS network's first campus in Hubei province. It launched as part of the BASIS International Schools / BASIS International & Bilingual Schools network, an overseas arm of the BASIS group headquartered in the United States. The campus began operations serving early years through lower secondary (Pre‑K–Grade 9) with plans to expand to a full Pre‑K–12 offering. The school's opening and early communications have emphasized its role within the wider BASIS International & Bilingual Schools expansion across China.

Community
Publicly available materials describe an actively developing school community that includes international faculty, on‑campus and nearby family housing, and regular campus social life for staff and students. The school marks cultural and seasonal occasions — for example Chinese New Year and the Dragon Boat Festival — and established a house system during its first year, alongside a campus library opening and a slate of arts and athletic events. Parents and staff are shown participating in ceremonies and celebrations, and the network's blog and school reports highlight frequent community events during the founding year.
Admissions

Scholarships
BASIS schools in China run scholarship and merit programmes at some campuses. Public reporting and local school announcements indicate BASIS China has offered multi‑year merit scholarships for upper school students at certain campuses and that BASIS campuses have reported substantial scholarship awards to graduating classes. A postings summary I located specifically references four‑year upper‑school scholarship packages that included BASIS Wuhan in the list of campuses covered by the programme (amounts and terms vary by campus and year). Scholarship availability, eligibility criteria, application timing and whether the award covers tuition only (or tuition plus boarding and other fees) differ by campus and by intake year—some announcements specified tuition coverage for multiple years while other awards excluded ancillary fees. For current scholarship opportunities and how to apply, ask the admissions office what merit or need‑based awards are open for the intake year you're applying for and request the written criteria and application deadlines; contact admissions at admissions‑bibwh@basischina.com or by phone +86 27 8885 0888 for the most current details.

Waitlist
I did not find a public, formal waitlist policy published on the school's own website. That said, public school listings for BASIS Wuhan note that entry includes assessments and places are subject to availability; in practice most international schools in China place qualified applicants on a waiting list when a grade is full and then contact families as spaces open. If a waiting list exists at BASIS Wuhan you should ask: (a) whether an application must be complete (documents + application fee) to be placed on the list, (b) how the school orders the list (date of completed application, sibling priority, staff children, etc.), and (c) how long the school will keep your child on the list and what you must do to keep the application active. For a definitive answer and your child's current position (if you've applied), contact admissions directly at admissions‑bibwh@basischina.com or +86 27 8885 0888.
