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) describes a “holistic” approach to student development and explicitly references Service Learning as part of its curriculum and campus life. These descriptions appear in school profiles and listings that summarise the school's programme and extracurricular emphasis. FDIS is an IB World School, which means it delivers IB programmes that include personal and social development as part of the curriculum framework. The school's public-facing materials and third‑party profiles mention campus life that develops students' physical and mental skills but do not specify a named, standalone SEL curriculum or dedicated SEL team. The school does not publicly disclose further detail about specific SEL programmes or named SEL staff on its publicly available profiles.
Publicly available school profiles and school‑listing databases indicate that FDIS does not operate a specialist special‑needs programme and do not list dedicated SEN provision. One school‑profile entry explicitly notes that “FDIS doesn't have any special needs programs.” The school is presented as a mainstream international school (IB/AP) with relatively small class sizes in third‑party listings, but those sources do not detail targeted support services for specific types of learning difficulties or disabilities. There is no evidence that FDIS is a specialist SEN institution. The school does not publicly disclose detailed SEN staffing, specific categories of needs supported, or formal specialist‑SEN programmes on its public pages.
FDIS is listed as an English‑language school (English is the language of instruction in its IB programme) in official IB information and public school profiles. Some third‑party listings note that the school offers additional language classes (for example Mandarin) and language support in Chinese.
Third‑party profiles and school listings refer to academic mentoring, career guidance and psychological counselling as part of the student support described for FDIS in summary pages. In addition, Fudan University (with which the school is affiliated) operates psychological counselling services for international students at university level. However, I did not find a public, detailed description on the school's own public profiles of dedicated mental‑health staff, counselling programme structure, referral pathways, or written counselling policies specific to FDIS. Therefore the school does not publicly disclose full details of its mental‑wellbeing staffing or programme descriptions in the sources located. Families should contact the school for the most up‑to‑date information on counselling and wellbeing services.
