About international schools in Shanghai, China
IB-curriculum international schools in Shanghai include institutions that offer the full IB continuum (PYP - MYP - DP) as well as schools that deliver only the Diploma Programme in secondary years; the IB’s age bands run from early years through to pre-university study. Many IB schools in Shanghai are English-medium with daily Mandarin tuition or operate as bilingual Mandarin - English schools that aim for dual-language competence, and they commonly provide EAL and mother-tongue support. Annual school fees vary widely across the market: premium international campuses typically charge in the mid-to-high hundreds of thousands of yuan for secondary places, while some bilingual or local international-division options charge substantially less. Admissions generally begin in the autumn for the following academic year with formal application rounds, assessments and interviews, followed by rolling admissions and waiting lists; also check passport and eligibility rules as many international schools admit only foreign-passport holders.
