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.
