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.
The school's published mission and development goals emphasise whole‑person development, wellbeing, community and life education as part of its curriculum framework. Its curriculum pages list “Life Education” and experiential/leadership programmes (行知课程/CAS‑style activities) intended to develop social and emotional skills. The school also states it seeks to “build an open, harmonious and friendly learning community” and to promote members' wellbeing. The site further notes a dedicated safety and mental‑health education centre that intervenes across teaching and student life.
The school's public materials state a commitment to respecting student differences and attending to individual needs, but do not publish detailed information about formal Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision, specific types of needs supported, specialist staff or whether it operates as a specialist SEN institution. There is no SEN policy or SEN coordinator role described on the pages reviewed. Therefore, the school does not publicly disclose specifics about SEN provision.
The school publishes a Language Development Centre and a large international teaching team, and it operates a ‘留学生部' that provides Mandarin (Chinese as a foreign language) for international students. These elements indicate institutional language support and international staffing, but the website does not set out a named English‑as‑an‑Additional‑Language (EAL) programme, EAL curriculum, or specialist EAL staff details. In short, the school does not publicly disclose specific EAL programme information.
The school states it has established a Safety and Mental‑Health Education Centre that is intended to be deeply involved in the whole teaching process to safeguard students' psychological environment. The published materials describe the centre as part of the school's measures to ensure students' healthy, happy development, but the site does not publish detailed staffing numbers, counselling services, or session formats. The school's ethos pages also emphasise promoting members' wellbeing as part of its school culture.
The website presents concrete safety measures such as student ID cards with controlled campus access and a parent notification system (校讯通) linked to those cards, indicating operational steps for everyday campus security. The school also names a Safety and Mental‑Health Education Centre and repeatedly refers to providing a safe learning environment in its published mission statements. However, the site does not publish a standalone child‑protection or safeguarding policy (for example, a designated safeguarding lead, reporting procedures, or external safeguarding contacts) on the pages reviewed.
