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 & Bilingual School Wuhan is located in Hongshan District of Wuhan (listed as No. 25–27 Jiataohe Road in public listings), an established education and residential area of the city near central Wuhan landmarks. The school is in the provincial capital of Hubei, with typical city transport links to the rest of Wuhan and Tianhe International Airport; check local maps for exact travel times from neighbourhoods.
The school opened in fall 2023 serving Early Childhood (Pre‑K) and primary/middle year groups and launched with Grades Pre‑K through Grade 9; it is planned to expand to a full Pre‑K–Grade 12 (ages 3–18). Admissions and year‑group availability may change as the campus grows, so check current intake with the school.
BASIS Wuhan is a mixed (co‑educational), independent international school and part of the BASIS International & Bilingual Schools network. The campus includes boarding/dormitory facilities: published listings note dorms are provided for students from Grade 5 upward.
The school uses a co‑teaching model in Early Years and Primary where a Subject Expert Teacher (SET) works alongside a Learning Enhancement Teacher (LET); LETs focus on differentiation, in‑class support and language acquisition, and the network also describes dedicated ELL support. For specific Individual Education Plan (IEP) or specialist SEN provisions and capacity, contact the school's admissions or student support team as policies and resourcing are handled at campus level.
BASIS Wuhan is part of the BASIS International Schools network (a network of BASIS Curriculum schools operating internationally) rather than being affiliated to a particular national government or education authority.
The school's public materials list it as an independent international school and do not show any religious affiliation. If a faith‑based programme is important to your family, confirm directly with the school.
There are references to school‑provided lunches and a programme of after‑school activities (ASAs) in published school profiles, but explicit daily start/end times and the exact break/lunch schedule are not publicly listed on the school pages I checked. For precise school‑day times, staggered starts (if any), and childcare/aftercare options, contact the admissions office or request the current parent handbook or prospectus.
Public information indicates BASIS Wuhan offers a school bus service and provides on‑campus lunches; however, specific route maps, pick‑up points, providers, costs and booking arrangements are not published in the sources checked. If you need bus service (or details about boarding transport and fees), ask the admissions team for current routes, schedules and safety procedures.
Annual tuition at BASIS International School Wuhan ranges from RMB 211,220 to RMB 294,510 for 2026/27.

BASIS International School Wuhan delivers the BASIS network curriculum from early years through secondary, with primary instruction in English.

BASIS Wuhan is listed as accredited by Cognia.
BASIS International & Bilingual Schools Wuhan describes a House system and after‑school opportunities that aim to build community and student engagement; the school's founding‑year blog also reports the library staying open extra hours for student study and reflection and records nearly 3,100 hours of student support provided by staff in the first year. These items are presented as part of the school's student life and support activity reporting. The school's recruitment materials for senior/primary leadership also reference responsibilities for establishing student‑support programmes.
BASIS Wuhan has advertised ELL/ELL Teacher roles for its Wuhan campus, indicating the school recruits staff to support learners of English as an additional language; the school's founding‑year blog also reports tracking English reading and language growth. However, I did not find a detailed public EAL programme description (hours, entry/exit criteria or stage‑by‑stage curriculum) for the Wuhan campus in the materials reviewed.
Public information about the Wuhan campus describes boarding provision (including boarding staff) and pastoral routines as part of student life, and notes extracurricular and library provisions intended to support students' wellbeing. The school's public blog and recruitment/prospectus listings mention student support activity but do not publish a campus‑level mental‑health/counselling team or a named counselling programme that I could locate. If you need names/roles of counsellors or details of referral pathways, I can try to obtain those from the school.
I was not able to find a Wuhan campus safeguarding or child‑protection policy posted on the public pages and prospectus materials I reviewed; the school's public materials and job adverts reference student safety and support in general terms but do not present a Wuhan‑specific child‑protection policy document online. If you require the school's formal safeguarding policy or the contact details for the Designated Safeguarding Lead, I can request those or attempt a deeper search for a published policy document.
BASIS schools in China run scholarship and merit programmes at some campuses. Public reporting and local school announcements indicate BASIS China has offered multi‑year merit scholarships for upper school students at certain campuses and that BASIS campuses have reported substantial scholarship awards to graduating classes. A postings summary I located specifically references four‑year upper‑school scholarship packages that included BASIS Wuhan in the list of campuses covered by the programme (amounts and terms vary by campus and year). Scholarship availability, eligibility criteria, application timing and whether the award covers tuition only (or tuition plus boarding and other fees) differ by campus and by intake year—some announcements specified tuition coverage for multiple years while other awards excluded ancillary fees. For current scholarship opportunities and how to apply, ask the admissions office what merit or need‑based awards are open for the intake year you're applying for and request the written criteria and application deadlines; contact admissions at admissions‑bibwh@basischina.com or by phone +86 27 8885 0888 for the most current details.
I did not find a public, formal waitlist policy published on the school's own website. That said, public school listings for BASIS Wuhan note that entry includes assessments and places are subject to availability; in practice most international schools in China place qualified applicants on a waiting list when a grade is full and then contact families as spaces open. If a waiting list exists at BASIS Wuhan you should ask: (a) whether an application must be complete (documents + application fee) to be placed on the list, (b) how the school orders the list (date of completed application, sibling priority, staff children, etc.), and (c) how long the school will keep your child on the list and what you must do to keep the application active. For a definitive answer and your child's current position (if you've applied), contact admissions directly at admissions‑bibwh@basischina.com or +86 27 8885 0888.
