Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
BASIS International School Guangzhou opened in August 2017 as the second BASIS International School in China. It launched with roughly 400 students and expanded toward a planned capacity of about 1,100–1,200 students. The campus was the first BASIS International School in the network to introduce a weekday boarding program. The school celebrated its first graduating class in 2021.
The school describes “community” as a core value: teachers live near the campus and many students live on-site as weekday boarders, which the school says fosters frequent informal interaction among staff, parents and students. Campus life includes regular cultural and performing-arts activities (examples shown on school pages include winter concerts and an art festival), and students run extracurricular groups such as a Broadway Theatre Arts Club that stages performances. Boarding-house routines and evening campus activities are mentioned as recurring elements of community life.
Publicly available school materials and network pages emphasize parent engagement and community events but do not present a clearly labelled, detailed Parent Teacher Association (PTA) page or a publicly posted PTA calendar for the Guangzhou campus. The school's news and image captions refer to events where parents typically participate—winter concert, art festival and other school-wide occasions—yet a distinct PTA committee, officer list, or regular meeting schedule was not found on the school's public pages. For many international schools, information about formal PTA roles, volunteer sign-ups, country booths for International Day, and parent fundraising appears in internal newsletters or a parent portal rather than on the public website; that appears to be the case here as well. If you need precise names, meeting minutes, or a current event calendar, I can look for recent school newsletters, social-media posts, or contact the school's admissions/parent liaison to obtain PTA officer names and a list of parent-led activities.
