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.
As of December 31, 2025, the Hiba Academy Nantong website does not list independent international school accreditations (for example CIS, IB, NEASC/WASC, etc.); no dedicated "Accreditations" page or statement of external accreditation is shown on the school's public website.
- Member of the Wellington College Education (China) family of schools — the site states the school is part of the Wellington/Hiba group, which provides group-level governance and shared academic practice; this is an institutional affiliation rather than an external accreditation. (Governance and group overview on the site.)
- Curriculum references to Cambridge/CAIE and IGCSE/A‑level pathways — the Senior High (Grade 10) information explicitly refers to CAIE's additional maths and IGCSE chemistry as part of its curriculum pathway toward A‑levels, indicating use of Cambridge Assessment International Education materials or syllabuses as part of course planning (the site does not explicitly state a Cambridge authorization/certification).
- Chinese regulatory/website registrations shown in the site footer — the site displays PRC website registrations (ICP number) and the public security filing number in the footer; these are legal/administrative registrations for the website and school entity, not educational accreditations.
Note: I have listed only items explicitly shown or directly implied on the school's website. If you would like, I can contact the admissions office or check published accreditation directories to confirm current formal accreditations (for example Cambridge authorisation or other external quality-assurance bodies).
Awards and formal recognitions published on the school's website in the past five years (2021–2025):
- Forbes China International School Annual Selection (listed in 2024) — the school's news item dated 8 July 2024 states that Hiba Academy Nantong was included in Forbes China's 2024 International School Annual Selection (the school was listed among the bilingual schools). This is presented on the school website as a group-wide and school-level recognition. Significance: national-level recognition in a published Forbes China selection that evaluates schools on academic quality, teaching conditions, institutional details and international accreditation.
No other school-level awards (awards explicitly awarded to Hiba Academy Nantong rather than to individual pupils or staff) appear on the school's public website for the 2021–2025 period. I limited this check to items and news posted on the school website.
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.
