BASIS International School Hangzhou publicly describes a house system used to build community, mix students across year groups, and reward positive behaviour (house competitions and points are cited examples). The school's founding-year communications and network blog posts describe events such as a World Fair and house competitions used to foster cross‑age relationships and school belonging. Beyond these community activities, the school's public materials do not provide a separate, detailed SEL curriculum or a published list of dedicated SEL staff for the Hangzhou campus.
BASIS International & Bilingual Schools in China describe a co‑teaching model that includes Learning Enhancement Teachers (LETs) who work with Subject Expert Teachers (SETs) to support diverse learners. These network descriptions indicate structures for in‑class differentiation and targeted support, but BASIS International School Hangzhou does not publicly publish specific details about which types of Special Educational Needs it can support or whether it operates as a specialist SEN institution. Therefore, the school does not publicly disclose detailed SEN eligibility or specialist‑service information for the Hangzhou campus.
The BASIS network states that each school provides English language support through designated ELL/ELL teams using strategies such as push‑in and pull‑out sessions and targeted small‑group instruction, plus student hours for extra help. Network blog posts describe ELL chairs and dedicated ELL staff at several BASIS China schools and outline data‑driven monitoring (e.g., MAP assessments) and co‑teaching to support language learners. BASIS Hangzhou's publicly available materials do not, however, list a named EAL team or a detailed Hangzhou‑specific EAL programme on the school website.
Publicly available BASIS materials for Hangzhou highlight community‑building activities (house system, events) and general student support practices that can contribute to wellbeing. BASIS‑network content also references student hours, mentoring and pastoral practices used across its China schools, which are described as supports for students' academic and social needs. BASIS International School Hangzhou does not publicly disclose a dedicated counselling team structure or a published mental‑health programme specific to the Hangzhou campus on its website.
The school's publicly available Hangzhou pages and the BASIS network blog posts consulted do not show a published child‑protection or safeguarding policy specific to BASIS International School Hangzhou.
