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.
Hiba Academy Nantong is located at 66 Haide Road in the Su‑Xi‑Tong Science & Technology Industrial Park on the outskirts of Nantong, Jiangsu — a purpose‑built campus in an industrial/technology park area. The city of Nantong is served by high‑speed rail and Nantong Xingdong Airport and is about a 1–1.5 hour drive from parts of the greater Shanghai area via the Sutong crossing, so travel to/from major regional hubs is possible.
The school advertises Early Years, Primary, Junior High and Senior High phases on its site, indicating a continuous programme from nursery through secondary. External listings and the school's materials state it serves roughly ages 3–18.
Hiba Academy Nantong is co‑educational and described as a bilingual (Chinese–English) school. The campus includes purpose‑built boarding accommodation and the school has published information about boarding provision (boarders and day pupils are both accommodated).
The school's public materials emphasise pastoral care and wellbeing; a senior pastoral lead at Nantong has previous experience as a Head of Learning Support, which suggests access to experienced staff for student wellbeing and additional‑needs support. The site does not publish a detailed SEN policy for Nantong, so parents should contact admissions for specifics about formal SEN assessment, individual learning plans or specialist staffing.
Hiba Academy Nantong is part of the Hiba/Wellington College Education group in China (the Wellington College Education (China) family), which informs curriculum design and school organisation.
The school does not list a religious affiliation in its directory listings and materials; it is presented as a non‑religious bilingual school.
The school's public pages do not publish a full day‑by‑day timetable or fixed start/end times for pupils; the school's contact page shows office hours (9:00–17:00) for admissions and enquiries. For exact pupil start/finish times, break and lunch arrangements, ask admissions or request the current term timetable.
Hiba schools in the group commonly offer campus services such as school buses, but the Nantong site does not publish detailed bus routes or providers online. If you need daily transport (routes, fees, pick‑up points), contact the Nantong admissions office — they can provide current routes, pricing and registration details.
Application fees
- Hiba Academy Nantong does not charge an application or admissions fee.
Tuition fees (by year group; per term and per year)
- Nursery / Kindergarten: RMB 126,247 per semester — RMB 252,494 per year.
- Primary (Grades 1–6): RMB 127,308 per semester — RMB 254,616 per year.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school states that the formal fee structure and schedule are subject to local Price Bureau approval and that a full breakdown will be provided once approved. At the time of publication the school had not published an approved, itemised billing calendar.
- In practice across the Hiba/Wellington family, fees are typically billed termly/semesterly with option for annual or termly payment; sibling schools publish term payment deadlines and offer standard invoice/fapiao procedures. (This reflects common practice in the group rather than a published Nantong schedule.)
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Boarding places are available at Hiba Academy Nantong and the school operates an on‑campus boarding house; however, the school's public pages do not publish a specific boarding fee amount.
Other costs and common additional fees
- The school advises that additional charges may apply for co‑curricular activities (CCAs), meals, uniforms, school bus and trips. Specific amounts for Nantong are not published; for comparison, fees for meals, uniforms and bus at sister campuses are published by those campuses (example figures are shown on sibling school pages).
Refund information
- No detailed withdrawal/refund schedule was published on the Nantong pages consulted. Wellington/Hiba schools in China commonly operate formal withdrawal and refund procedures (term cut‑off rules, resource fee handling and requirements to return receipts/fapiao); parents are normally required to submit a written withdrawal form to trigger any refund.
Fee payment options
- The Nantong site does not publish a full list of accepted payment channels. Wellington/Hiba campuses typically accept RMB bank transfer to a school account and provide official receipts (fapiao); sibling campuses also show bank details on their fee pages. Expect similar bank transfer/online payment arrangements for Nantong.

Hiba Academy Nantong (also called Huili School Nantong) is a bilingual school on an 80,000 m² campus in the Su‑Xi‑Tong Science & Technology Industrial Park. The school offers an Hiba Early Years programme (merging EYFS and the Chinese curriculum), followed by a 12‑year pathway covering Primary, Junior High and Senior High. The website states a campus capacity of 2,000 pupils and purpose‑built boarding houses for up to 800 boarders; the school describes a co‑teaching model in Chinese and English and a compulsory wellbeing subject in the curriculum. The site also lists a teacher–student ratio (1:5) and daily school bus provision. Where the website does not give a current enrolment figure it reports the campus design capacity instead.
