Special educational needs (SEN)	Special educational needs (SEN) The school does not publicly disclose campus-specific information about Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision at the Suzhou campus. EtonHouse group materials describe learning‑support services at some EtonHouse campuses, but I found no Suzhou‑specific published policy, list of supported needs, or confirmation that Suzhou is a specialist SEN institution.	Special educational needs (SEN) An Inclusion Policy sets out the rights and responsibilities of all members of the school community and the school's commitment to inclusion. Inclusion within the classroom is led by the IB Coordinator and Academic Principal, who identify students who may benefit from special needs support and arrange accommodations in collaboration with parents and teachers. The policy covers learning diversity and inclusive assessment and defines roles for teachers, leaders, and support staff.

History	History EtonHouse International School Suzhou opened in 2003 and in September 2008 relocated to a purpose-built campus in Suzhou Science and Technology Town. The campus occupies roughly 3 hectares with a built area of about 13,800 square metres. The school is part of the EtonHouse group, a Singapore-headquartered education organisation with multiple international campuses. In 2021 the campus introduced a separate Middleton international division to broaden its programme offerings.	History Suzhou Innovation Academy was established and authorised as an IB World School in 2019. The board and leadership recognised the opportunity for a world-leading school that can support the Suzhou government's innovation aspirations. Our name was conceived to reflect the school's ethos and to set a direction for its future, with innovation at the forefront of our vision. From the outset, the owner and founder had an ambition for a three-year, residential IB school that reaches the highest international standards and develops principled and entrepreneurial young people who are internationally-minded, interculturally-aware, and with the skills and commitment to become changemakers in the world.
Community	Community The school community includes expatriate and local families and is active in school-wide and local community activities. Suzhou EtonHouse has participated in charity and community events such as the “Bright Firefly” charity walk, Halloween charity events and family fun runs, and the campus stages cultural and sports events that involve parents and staff. Campus facilities for sport, performance and the arts support those community events and family-focused activities.	Community Suzhou Innovation Academy is reimagining education and designed to be different, with the goal that students flourish and are inspired to make a difference. We believe in working together with curiosity to explore our understanding of the world around us, and in learning through problem-solving to find new and progressive solutions. Academic success is just the beginning; students advance their talents through intercultural understanding and respect for individuals, communities, and for the planet. Our school community celebrates diversity and is committed to innovative learning that is engaging, relevant, joyful and impactful.
Parent teacher association	Parent teacher association The school's parent community is organised through a parents' association (often referred to as a PTA) that collaborates with school leadership to support events, fundraising and volunteering. Parents and the association have supported specific activities such as the Bright Firefly charity walk, Halloween charity events and family fun/run days, and they commonly help run school fairs and cultural celebrations. Across the EtonHouse network, parent groups also organise events like global picnics and parent engagement workshops; those practices are reflected in the Suzhou community's approach to parent involvement. The association typically coordinates volunteers for assemblies, sports days and classroom support and acts as a liaison for family communications and orientation for new families.

Admissions	Admissions
Admissions	Admissions Below is a step-by-step admissions process for EtonHouse International School — Suzhou (summary based on the school's listings and public admissions portals). If you need confirmation or the most recent forms/fees, contact the school's admissions team directly (see the school website or OpenApply listing). As of January 1, 2026, the typical process is: 1. Enquiry and initial information request: Contact the school to request a tour or an online meeting and ask for the current grade-by-grade fee schedule, annual term dates, and bus/meal options. Parents should note whether the school's portal (OpenApply) is used for applications so they can create an account, and they should confirm available start dates for the year/term they want. Open days or tours can fill fast — check whether a deposit or pre-registration is required to hold a place for a tour. 2. Submit application and pay the registration/application fee: Complete the online application (usually via the school's OpenApply page) and upload required documents: passport/ID, proof of residency or visa (if applicable), recent school reports or teacher references, and immunisation records. The school's published materials and OpenApply guidance show that an application/registration fee is normally charged and that incomplete applications may not be processed; confirm the exact fee amount and payment methods with admissions. Keep certified copies of school reports; some grades require translated or attested documents. 3. Age-appropriate assessment and interview: After the application is processed, the school typically arranges an assessment and/or interview for the child (format depends on age). For younger children this may be a play-based session and a short meeting with parents; for older pupils expect English and mathematics assessments and a student interview or sample lesson. Non-native English speakers applying to older year levels may be asked to take a formal English-language assessment so the school can place language support if needed. Ask whether assessments are on-campus, online, or deferred for applicants overseas. 4. Offer letter, deposit and contract: If a place is offered, the school will issue an offer letter outlining the tuition, one-time fees (for example registration and deposits), payment schedule, and deadlines for acceptance. Public fee listings for the campus show a one-time registration fee and a refundable deposit (example figures published for 2024/25: Registration Fee CNY 1,500; refundable Deposit CNY 15,000), but amounts and refund conditions can change — confirm the current figures on the offer letter before paying. Read the contract for refund terms, withdrawal notice periods, and what the deposit covers (many schools hold the deposit against final term fees or potential contract breaches). 5. Finalise enrolment, payment and logistics: After you accept the offer you will sign the enrolment agreement and arrange tuition payments, school lunch plans, bus routes, uniform purchases and any additional fees (extracurriculars, exams, trips). Check whether the school requires payment by term or annually, what payment channels are accepted (bank transfer, Alipay/WeChat in China, credit card options) and whether any sibling discounts apply. Keep copies of receipts and confirm any instalment plans in writing. 6. Orientation and start of term: The school will provide details for orientation, supply/uniform lists, the first-day timetable and any health or administration forms that must be completed before the child's first day. If your child requires English-language support or other learning adjustments, confirm those services ahead of the start date so the school can plan staffing and placement. For families relocating from overseas, confirm visa/residence-permit requirements and the school's document deadlines to avoid delay.	Admissions Admission Plan: Independent admissions exams. The first session is scheduled for late October by appointment. The tests include English and Mathematics (written) and a principal interview conducted entirely in English. Entry Criteria: The school recruits students for Grade 9, Grade 10 (FP), and Grade 11 (DP). Applicants for FP (Grade 10) should be in Grade 9 or Grade 10 at the time of application. Applicants for DP (Grade 11) should be in Grade 10 or Grade 11 at the time of application. Results: The first graduating class received 67 offers for 13 students. Xu received an offer from University College London (UCL) for Education, with UCL ranked No. 7 globally in the QS rankings and No. 1 in the world for Education. Zhu received an offer from Babson College for Entrepreneurship. Wu received an offer from the University of the Arts London for Art and Design.

On October 30, an International School Education Expo. On November 26, an Open Day. In December, a Suzhou local education expo.

Scholarships	Scholarships Group-level scholarship activity: EtonHouse Group announced an academic scholarship scheme (IGCSE and IB Diploma) when launching IB/IGCSE provision at certain campuses; that 2020 announcement described awards that could cover application fees, capital levies and school fees for the duration of the course, with academic and conduct conditions attached. Those scholarships were linked to specific programme launches and had eligibility/maintenance conditions (minimum predicted grades and community contribution expectations). Suzhou-specific status: There is no clear public listing (on the Suzhou campus profiles and common international school directories) of an ongoing, campus-wide scholarship programme for EtonHouse Suzhou at the time of this check. If you are seeking fee assistance, merit scholarships, or programme-specific awards for Suzhou, ask the campus admissions office directly — they will confirm whether any scholarships, bursaries, fee waivers, or exam-specific awards are available, what the eligibility criteria are, and the application deadlines. For transparency, request written details of any award (what it covers, renewal conditions, and any tied obligations).	Scholarships Scholarships: The school offers a Scholarship policy program. The SIA Special Scholarship is a one-time award of RMB 100,000, and recipients are recorded in the school's major milestones. First, Second, and Third Prize Scholarships are also offered and run for three years; the exact terms are provided by the Admissions Office, and final interpretation rests with the Academic Committee.
Waitlist	Waitlist EtonHouse campuses commonly use a waitlist when a grade is full: if a child meets admission criteria but there is no immediate vacancy, families are placed on the school's waitlist and will be contacted when a place opens. EtonHouse admissions pages for other EtonHouse campuses state that the application fee is non-refundable/non-transferable if you remain on the waitlist, and that priority is typically given to staff children, siblings of enrolled students and children from other EtonHouse campuses before being ordered by application date. The school usually asks families to keep their application file current while on the waitlist (for example by updating contact details and any changes to the child's school records); however, specific waitlist policies (how the list is ordered, whether positions are disclosed, and how long an application remains active) vary by campus — confirm exact waitlist rules with Suzhou admissions.
