It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Adcote School Shanghai describes a “school‑based student development curriculum” that explicitly focuses on critical thinking, teamwork and leadership as part of its broader academic and enrichment offer. The school also uses a house/college-style system and a range of extracurricular and boarding activities, which public materials identify as part of students' non‑academic development. These elements are cited in the school's public descriptions and recruitment/prospectus listings.
The International Baccalaureate listing for Adcote School Shanghai states the languages of instruction are English and Chinese. Public prospectus material and recruitment pages reference English‑language delivery of IGCSE/A‑Level/IB programmes. I did not find a published, named EAL programme, EAL team or EAL admissions policy on the school's public pages. Therefore, the school does not publicly disclose specific EAL provision beyond its stated languages of instruction; please request details from the school if you need formal EAL support information.
Adcote School Shanghai, situated on a 90,000-square-meter campus at the foothill of Sheshan Mountain, offers the Cambridge IGCSE, A-Levels, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). The campus features specialized physical infrastructure including libraries, an auditorium, football fields, a climbing wall, a golf platform, innovation labs, and a black box theater. Students choose from 30 different IGCSE and A-Level courses to align with future university specializations, complemented by nearly 40 quality expansion courses spanning sports, languages, and arts. A distinctive feature of the school is the Adcote Genius Program (AGP), which includes the 'Think Ivy Project.' This initiative provides targeted skill enhancement, original English reading, critical thinking courses, and access to a resource pool of Ivy League mentors from the top ten United States universities for one-on-one tutoring. Instruction is delivered in English and Chinese, with students participating in a traditional British-style four-house system. Boarding options are available on campus with an experienced student life team providing daily guidance.
