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 Hangzhou opened in 2018 as part of the BASIS International Schools network. The campus was built with separate facilities for Early Years and for Grades 1–12 and is described in school materials as having capacity for roughly 1,000 students. The school marked its first graduating senior class in 2022. BASIS International Schools is the international extension of the BASIS school network; the international arm began expanding in China after BASIS opened its first international campus in 2015.
The school describes an international, mixed community of students, families and faculty and emphasizes co‑curricular and cultural programming that brings those groups together. Events cited in school materials include a World Fair (first held in March 2019) that featured student and parent booths representing over a dozen countries, regular arts and music performances, and seasonal/cultural activities such as Dragon Boat–related celebrations in the Early Childhood program. Staff accounts and school posts note a House system and other cross‑grade activities intended to build connections across year levels.
The school's public communications highlight active parent involvement through volunteer partnerships and event committees rather than a prominently listed, formal PTA structure on its main pages. Parents are repeatedly credited with partnering on large community events: for example, parents helped organize decor, food booths and country exhibits for the World Fair and supported performances and on‑campus festivals. School reports and blog posts describe parents working with teachers and staff on event planning, hospitality, and classroom support; the materials present these as ad hoc or event‑based parent committees and volunteer roles tied to specific activities (World Fair, arts showcases, House events). If you would like, I can check directly with the school site or admissions office and look for a current parent‑association page, contact details for parent volunteers, or recent PTA minutes.
