BASIS International School Hangzhou

Located in Hangzhou's Qianjiang New Town / 钱江新城 (school address commonly listed as No. 9 Yulin Road / 御临路9号), close to the Qiantang River and modern commercial areas. The campus is roughly a 10–20 minute drive to downtown and is near high‑speed rail connections that provide fast links to Shanghai.

BIHZ is reported to offer a continuous Pre‑K / Early Years through Grade 12 programme (PreK–12); recent admissions notices indicate intake focused on PreK–G9 with senior grades expanding/filled from current students. The school is organised into early years, primary (elementary), middle and upper/secondary divisions.

BASIS International School Hangzhou is an English‑language international day school for foreign passport holders (外籍人员子女学校) and is operated as part of the BASIS International Schools network. It is co‑educational (accepts both boys and girls); public listings and network pages describe it as a purpose‑built international day campus. Parents should confirm any recent changes to boarding or residential options directly with admissions.

Public listings for the school indicate there is a learning‑support / additional‑needs provision with dedicated staff and case‑by‑case interventions; external specialist assessments (e.g., educational psychologists) can be arranged through partners in some cases. Provision appears to be limited and often described as tailored support rather than a full special‑needs programme, so families with specific, significant requirements should contact the school to discuss suitability and available services.

The school is part of the BASIS International Schools group (an overseas/US‑origin network) and does not have an affiliation to a national government or embassy as its curriculum provider; it operates as an international (foreign‑passport) school in China.

There is no stated religious affiliation; the school is run as a secular international school.

Public information indicates a standard international‑school day: classes generally begin around 08:00 and finish mid‑afternoon (around 15:00–15:30), with a midday lunch break; exact start/finish times and daily timetables vary by age group and cohort. For precise daily schedules by year group (and any Monday/assembly variations), contact the admissions office or consult the current parent handbook.

Local sources and school listings state the school operates a paid school‑bus service covering major residential areas around Hangzhou (routes and coverage may include districts such as Binjiang and Xiaoshan). Routes, stops, fees and seat availability are operated/managed on an annual basis and are subject to change—parents should request the current route map, fees and pick‑up/drop‑off policies from admissions.

Boarding fees

- BASIS International School Hangzhou offers a boarding option; however, a specific published boarding / accommodation fee for the Hangzhou campus is not publicly listed in the school's fee summary. Parents should note boarding availability is confirmed in admissions information but the boarding rate is not shown alongside the tuition figures above.

Other costs

- Additional school costs commonly reported by third‑party school guides include uniforms, meals, transportation (school bus), examination fees and optional overseas trip costs. Example reported items from coverage of BASIS campuses include uniform packs (reported examples around RMB 4,800) and separate charges for international trips, extracurricular program fees and standardized exam charges; these items and amounts vary by campus and by student choices and are not included in the tuition figures above.

Refund information

- The application fee is described as non‑refundable but creditable against tuition when a place is accepted. No comprehensive public statement of detailed tuition or boarding refund conditions (for mid‑year withdrawal, early leave, or other circumstances) is provided in the school's public fee summary.

Fee payment options

- The application fee is paid through the BASIS/BASIS Global mini‑program used for applications. Specific, published details for accepted tuition payment methods (for example bank transfer, school account details, or other online payment channels) are not shown on the school's public fee summary; many international schools operating in Mainland China commonly accept bank transfer or school payment portals in addition to local electronic payment channels, but the school's invoice to accepted families will state the exact methods and deadlines.
