It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Located in Guangzhou's Science City (Huangpu District), the campus sits in a suburban, green area of the city with nearby shopping and leisure amenities; downtown Guangzhou is roughly a 30–45 minute drive from the campus. For maps and contact details the school is listed at No. 8 Jiantashan Road, Science City, Huangpu District.
BASIS International School Guangzhou serves early years through upper secondary (Pre‑K / Kindergarten up to Grade 12 / Year 13), so it covers preschool, primary, middle and high school age groups. Public listings show the school running a full Pre‑K–12 program.
The school is co‑educational and part of the BASIS International Schools network. It operates as an international day school and also offers weekday boarding; published materials note boarding facilities on campus.
Public information highlights English language learner (ELL) support within the BASIS network, but the school does not appear to publish a detailed public SEN/Learning‑Support policy for Guangzhou on its main pages. Parents with specific Additional Learning Needs (ALN/SEN) questions should contact admissions to discuss individual needs and available provisions.
The school is part of BASIS International Schools, a U.S.‑founded network operating international and bilingual campuses in China (and elsewhere); it is not affiliated to a foreign government.
No religious affiliation is stated in the school's public listings; BASIS International School Guangzhou operates as a non‑religious / secular international school.
The school follows the typical international‑school model with different timetables by division (early years, primary, middle, high). The school's public pages do not publish a single, division‑wide bell schedule online, so exact start/end times, break and lunch windows are best confirmed via the school's current calendar or parent handbook.
Local listings and parent‑oriented pages indicate the school charges for and offers a paid school‑bus service (校车), though publicly available sources do not publish routes or operator details. For routes, stops, fees and registration deadlines contact the school's admissions or operations office directly.

Per-term presentation (school publishes annual tuition; per-term figures below are arithmetic conversions and noted as estimates)
- The school's published charges are expressed as annual tuition. For budgeting, parents sometimes convert annual tuition into equal term amounts. If the annual fee is split into two equal terms, the per-term estimates are: K2 RMB 105,600; K3 RMB 118,290; G1–G8 RMB 129,010; G9–G12 RMB 140,250. (This is an arithmetic division of the annual amounts; it is an inferred per-term breakdown, not an official school billing schedule.)
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition figures are published as annual amounts; parents are required to complete registration and the associated admission formalities promptly after an offer is made (instructions and deadlines are given at time of offer).
Boarding (where applicable)
- Boarding is available (boarding places open from upper primary onwards at this campus). Boarding is charged separately from tuition; published fee materials for the school list boarding as an additional cost but do not publish a single, universal boarding rate on the public summaries. Parents should plan for an additional boarding charge if a student takes up residence.
Other costs and typical additional charges
- Common additional costs (not included in the annual tuition above): textbooks and learning resources, uniforms, meals (breakfast/lunch), school bus/transport, extracurricular/activity fees, field trips and examination fees. These are itemised separately and billed in addition to tuition.
Refunds and reductions
- Published school material and third‑party fee summaries indicate that fees are not reduced or refunded for absence, suspension or periods when classes are not attended; one statement notes no fee reduction or refund will be made for absence, suspension or similar reasons.
Fee payment options and invoicing (practice used at international schools in the region)
- The school issues invoices for tuition and additional charges; parents complete payment according to invoice instructions and stated deadlines. International schools in China commonly accept bank transfer for school invoices; other electronic payment channels or card gateways may be used for certain payments depending on the invoice.
