BASIS International School Shenzhen

BASIS International School Shenzhen (BISZ) is located in Shekou Net Valley, Nanshan District — Tower C (Wanlian Building), Yanshan Road, Shenzhen. The campus is in the Shekou/Net Valley area with access to local roads and nearby metro stations (Huaguoshan/Line 12 is the closest metro reference); Shekou and Nanshan residential and expat neighbourhoods are within a short drive.

The school serves early years through secondary: Pre‑K/early years through Grade 12 (a through‑train international school model). Admissions are for overseas passport holders and residents from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

BISZ is a co‑educational international day school operating as part of the BASIS International Schools group; it does not advertise boarding facilities. Places are generally offered to students holding foreign passports or residents of Hong Kong/Macau/Taiwan in line with local international‑school regulations.

There is no detailed, publicly posted Special Educational Needs (SEN) policy available on the school summary pages found during this search; BASIS schools commonly run targeted Learning Support and English‑language support and consider individual needs on a case‑by‑case basis. Parents should contact BISZ admissions directly for the school's specific SEN/learning‑support provisions, screening process and any available external specialist access.

BISZ is part of the BASIS International Schools network (a U.S.-headquartered education group) rather than being affiliated to a particular national government or national curriculum authority.

The school does not present a religious affiliation in publicly available descriptions; BISZ is described as a secular international school.

The school's publicly available summaries do not publish a fixed daily bell schedule; timings typically differ by division (early years, primary, secondary). For exact start/end times, break and lunch arrangements by grade, contact BISZ admissions or request the current parent handbook.
