About international schools in Nanjing, China

International schools in Nanjing typically offer English-medium programmes drawn mainly from the International Baccalaureate and British (National Curriculum/IGCSE-A-level) traditions, with a smaller number running American/AP or bilingual Chinese - English pathways. Tuition varies a lot by provider and grade but published schedules for 2025 - 26 and 2026 - 27 show annual fees commonly in the order of roughly RMB 100,000 up to about RMB 300,000, with separate compulsory charges for things like enrolment/capital fees, school buses and language support. The school year follows the northern-hemisphere rhythm (main intake in August/September), though many schools operate rolling admissions and maintain wait-lists for popular entry years; offers are usually secured by an acceptance deposit and paperwork. Families should budget for commute time and bus availability (international campuses are concentrated in districts such as Xianlin and Jiangning), check passport/eligibility rules for foreign-children schools, and confirm each school’s published fee schedule and support services before committing.

FAQs for China

Which curricula and languages will my child typically find at international schools in Nanjing?
Most established international schools in Nanjing teach in English and follow the International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP) or British National Curriculum leading to IGCSEs and A-levels; some schools offer American or AP tracks and a number have bilingual or Chinese-national curriculum options at certain year levels. Mandarin is widely taught as a compulsory or strong second language, and schools often offer additional modern-language choices.
How much does an international school education in Nanjing usually cost?
Published fee schedules for recent academic years show substantial variation between schools and by grade: parents should expect annual tuition to commonly fall in a broad band from about RMB 100,000 up to nearly RMB 300,000 for older students at higher-fee campuses. In addition to base tuition many schools charge application and acceptance deposits, annual bus or lunch charges, capital/registration fees and fees for English-as-an-additional-language or specialist support, so always check the school’s full fees document.
When should we apply and how competitive are places?
The principal intake is for the northern-hemisphere school year beginning in August/September, and popular entry years (early years, Year 1/Reception and Year 7/Year 9 or first year of secondary) often fill early; schools typically open enquiries and priority booking in the autumn and winter before the start of term. Many schools run rolling admissions and will place eligible applicants on wait-lists or in a candidate pool if a year group is full; offers are normally confirmed only after payment of a placement deposit and receipt of required documents.
Will my non-English-speaking child get support?
Most international schools provide English-language support (EAL/ESL) for learners joining with limited English, but the level and cost of that provision varies between schools and is often itemised as a separate fee. If your child needs significant special educational needs (SEN) support, check each school’s published policy and contact Admissions directly because schools differ considerably in staffing, specialist services and their ability to meet higher-level needs.
What practical things should relocating families check before deciding?
Confirm your child’s eligibility (many licensed international schools in China enrol foreign-passport holders only), the school’s published fee schedule and what is included, the timetable and daily commute (many campuses run monitored bus routes), and the school’s approach to language support and wellbeing. Also ask about admissions deadlines, required notarised/translated documents, refund and leave/withdrawal rules, and whether places are held only after a deposit - these operational details materially affect both budgeting and logistics.
