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.
Fudan International School (FDIS) was established in 2002 as the international division of the High School Affiliated to Fudan University and is operated as part of that larger school/university system. Over time FDIS developed an international curriculum pathway and gained formal IB authorisation for the Diploma Programme in 2010. The school serves a multinational student body and is positioned administratively within the Fudan-affiliated school structure rather than as an independent private company. Public descriptions of FDIS emphasise its origins as an international arm of the Fudan-affiliated high school and its continuing institutional ties to Fudan University.
FDIS describes a relatively small, multinational community with students and families from multiple countries; school materials and local school listings note English-medium instruction alongside Mandarin and other language offerings. The school and nearby Fudan University resources are cited as part of student life, and the broader Fudan campus hosts regular cultural and student-society events that international students often join. Community life typically includes class-based activities, extracurricular clubs and seasonal cultural events that reflect the school's international mix.
There is no detailed, publicly accessible description of a named FDIS Parent–Teacher Association on the school's public pages that I could retrieve (the school website requires JavaScript and the visible pages do not show a PTA section). For contact and confirmation the school's admissions contact is listed publicly (admissions@fdis.net.cn). In the absence of an explicit FDIS PTA statement, it is reasonable to infer—based on common practice at comparable international schools in the region—that parent groups typically organise social meetups (coffee mornings or new‑parent orientations), support school events (International Day, concerts, sports days), and run volunteer or fundraising activities to support extracurricular programmes. Those inferences are drawn from PTA descriptions at other international schools in China and the region; they illustrate likely functions but are not direct statements from FDIS. If you'd like, I can request the school's current PTA/contact details or search the school's parent portal and social channels for up‑to‑date, specific information.
