It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Hiba Academy Shanghai is at No. 235 Linyao Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai (200126). The school is in Pudong (near the Qiantan / Front Beach international business area) and is reachable via Pudong transport links; the address and location are listed on the school website.
The school is organised into Primary, Junior High and High School. The Junior High section is described as covering grades/years 6–9; curriculum pages detail offerings for each level.
Hiba Academy Shanghai is a private (民办), Chinese–English bilingual school that operates as a day school; the site describes a mixed Chinese and expatriate teaching team and a ‘nationalised' private high school model. The website does not advertise boarding or residential provision.
The school has an Inclusion Team that provides individual and group counselling and learning support; staff work with teachers to develop individualised support plans for pupils with additional needs.
Hiba Academy Shanghai is governed within the Wellington College Education (China) group and is linked to Wellington College in England (the governance pages describe WCEC oversight and the Wellington connection).
The school website does not list any religious affiliation; its materials and governance information present the school as a secular, bilingual/academic institution.
The website describes lesson programmes, wellbeing lessons, breaks and school lunches but does not publish specific daily start and finish times. For exact daily hours (and any year-level differences) the school asks parents to contact admissions.
The school provides a daily school-bus service (available for pupils in Grade 1 and above) and states it cooperates with a professional transport provider to run routes; specific routes, stops and registration are managed through the school's admissions/school services team. For practical details contact admissions at admissions.has@hibaacademy.org or the school phone.

Hiba Academy Shanghai is a bilingual day school for Grades 1–12 (Primary, Junior High and High School) located on Linyao Road in Pudong's New Bund area. The school opened in September 2018 and the campus was developed as part of the New Bund project. The Hiba model blends the Chinese national curriculum with elements of the English national/British approach and uses a co-teaching bilingual model (Chinese and English) across many subjects; the school explicitly describes immersive, co-taught lessons and a bilingual timetable. Fees published on the school site are shown per semester (Primary, Junior High, High School); the site lists bus, meal and uniform charges separately. The school's co‑curricular programme includes academic competitions (e.g. Model United Nations, World Scholars' Cup), sports and arts offerings and service opportunities. Where the school website does not list a specific figure (for example current total pupil numbers or exact pupil ages by grade) those items are left blank here; please let me know if you would like me to look these up outside the school site.
