Guangzhou Huamei International School

Huamei International School is located at No. 23 Huamei Road in the Tianhe education core area of Guangzhou (Longdong, Tianhe District). The school occupies a large campus (about 160,000 m²) at the foot of Phoenix Mountain and gives the address and contact details on its website. For exact directions and transit options contact the admissions office; the site lists a service hotline and email.

The school runs a full sequence from kindergarten through primary and middle school to an international/high‑school division and an International Students Division — effectively K–12 with an international high‑school program. The website has separate sections for Huamei Kindergarten, Primary School, Middle School and International High School.

Huamei is a co‑educational private school that operates as a full‑time day and boarding school; the website describes full‑time boarding international education from kindergarten to high school and also lists day‑school options. Third‑party school listings also describe it as co‑educational.

The kindergarten materials describe attention to individual development, individual development plans and a personal growth portfolio for each child; the campus also reports on‑site medical staff and 24‑hour health services. The school website does not publish a detailed, school‑wide SEN/ALN policy page, so prospective parents with specific support needs should contact admissions to discuss assessments and provision.

The school is a Chinese private school in Guangzhou and was founded by returned overseas students; it is not presented on the website as officially affiliated with a foreign government.

No religious affiliation is specified on the school's public pages; the school presents itself as a non‑religious, international educational institution.

The website does not publish a single, detailed daily timetable for all year groups. Kindergarten pages note a structured daily programme (including six meals for boarders/young children) and the school offers both boarding and day options; for exact start/end times and break/lunch arrangements you should contact admissions or request the current timetable.

The school advertises weekly city‑wide and daily district‑wide school bus pick‑up and drop‑off services, indicating organised transport for students across the city and district. The website does not list specific routes or providers on the public pages, so ask the admissions office for current routes, stops, costs and enrolment procedures.

Refunds
- Refunds for private/民办 schools in Guangzhou follow regulated rules: new students who register and pay but do not enroll are eligible for substantial partial refunds (examples in local rules: ~90% refund when not enrolled; ~95% if fees were charged by year), and schools must process refunds and pro‑rata returns according to municipal/provincial refund formulas and timelines. Schools must handle refund processing promptly per local regulation.

Fee payment options
- Payments are required to the school's designated bank account and/or through the school's enrolled payment portal used for admissions and in‑school billing; the school uses an enrolment system platform and provides school contact channels for payment queries. Local regulatory documents require school receipts and payment into designated school accounts.

Search coverage note

A single, consolidated public fee schedule (including an explicit one‑time application fee amount) was not located on the school's publicly accessible English pages during the search.
