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 High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China (RDFZ): A leading Chinese public high school and one of the school's founding partners; RDFZ is described on the site as an academic partner that contributes educational expertise, but this is a partnership affiliation rather than an institutional accreditation.
- King's College School, Wimbledon (KCS): A UK independent school listed on the site as a founding partner that provides pedagogic influence and partnership support; again, this is a partnership relationship and not the same as formal accreditation by an international accreditation body.
- Dipont Education: An education group that helps establish and operate international schools in China; the site identifies Dipont as a partner involved in school management and curriculum localisation rather than an external accreditor.
The school website does not show any awards that were explicitly given to the institution itself in the last five years (January 1, 2021–January 1, 2026). The site's news posts in that period primarily report student achievements, admissions offers and programme/activity news rather than institutional awards. Examples: a site post that summarises students' competition awards and another that lists university offers; these posts focus on student results rather than awards given to the school as an organisation.
