School Essentials

Foundational information about the school

Location

KIS in Shenzhen is located in Nanshan District; the English site lists the address as No. 4357 Dongbin Road, Nanshan Street, Shenzhen. The About page gives simple public-transport directions (walk from Lilin Station Exit A) and a taxi instruction for the address. Office hours for the school office are published as Monday–Friday 08:00–17:00.

Levels

The school operates a full PreK–Grade 12 programme: Preschool (Pre-K and KG), Elementary (Grade 1–6), Middle (Grade 7–9) and High School (Grade 10–12). Each division has its own curriculum page (Preschool, Elementary, Middle, High) on the school website. The public pages include a grade/age listing used for admissions.

School Type

KIS is a private international day school serving children from preschool through Grade 12; the school describes itself as a school for students studying abroad and is an AP-authorized school and SAT test centre. The website lists paid school-bus services but does not describe any boarding provision.

Additional Learning Support

The website describes an English Language Learning (ELL) programme in Elementary and Middle School (ELL runs through Grade 8 in middle school) and says teachers cater to mixed-ability classes and tailor activities to reach all students. The school uses MAP Growth testing for ongoing assessment and notes counselling rooms are available in middle school.

Country Affiliation

The school was founded as Korea International School and was established in 2005; it was originally set up to serve Korean expatriate children and the site also notes the student body now includes many nationalities. The Chinese-language site name likewise identifies it as the Korean expatriate children's school in Shenzhen.

Religious Affiliation

The school website does not state any religious affiliation; material on the About and Academics pages focuses on academic programmes, language support and school mission rather than religious instruction.

Day Structure

The school website publishes office hours (Mon–Fri 08:00–17:00) but does not give a detailed daily timetable (start/end times for lessons, break and lunch times) for each division. For exact start/end times and break/lunch arrangements, the admissions office or the school calendar/PDFs available from the school should be contacted.

Bus Service

KIS operates a paid school-bus service with published per‑semester fees for different catchment areas (for example, Shekou/Houhai/Nanyou listed at RMB 5,100 per semester; other zones have different rates). The admissions information notes designated stops must be used, that routes may change slightly each semester depending on demand, and gives a per-area fee table. The website does not name an external bus provider; for route maps, stop locations and current provider details contact Admissions.

Fees

Application fees
- No separate application or admissions-test fee is listed on the school's published admissions/tuition page. The page lists required documents and an application form but does not show a standalone application fee amount.

Tuition fees (per semester and per year)
- Preschool (Pre‑K to K): RMB 53,800 per semester — Annual estimate (2 semesters): RMB 107,600.
- Grades 1–6: RMB 63,800 per semester — Annual estimate: RMB 127,600.
- Grades 7–9: RMB 69,800 per semester — Annual estimate: RMB 139,600.
- Grades 10–12: RMB 72,900 per semester — Annual estimate: RMB 145,800.

Entrance / admission fees
- Entrance Fee (one‑time for new students): RMB 18,000.

School bus / transport fees
- Bus fees are charged per semester and vary by route:
- Shekou / Houhai / Nanyou: RMB 5,100 per semester.
- Kejiyuan / Qianhai / Nantou / Huaqiaocheng: RMB 5,300 per semester.
- Baoan / Qiaoxiang / Chegongmiao: RMB 5,700 per semester.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is published on a per‑semester basis; annual tuition equals two semesters (per‑semester amount × 2). The site states payments must be made “by the specified deadline” but does not publish specific payment dates or installment deadlines on the public tuition page. Additional activity or after‑school charges may be billed separately.

Boarding fees
- No boarding or dormitory fees are listed; the published materials do not indicate a boarding option.

Other costs
- School uniform: charged only when an individual elects to purchase extra uniform items (no fixed uniform price listed on the tuition page).
- Additional fees may be charged for outdoor school activities, after‑school programs and similar items (details noted as attached to the application form). Sibling discounts are published: second child 5% off tuition; third child — 50% discount on entrance fee and tuition (when siblings are concurrently enrolled).

Refund information
- The public tuition/ admissions page does not specify refund rules or a refund policy for entrance, tuition or other fees.

Fee payment options
- The school's public admissions/tuition page does not list accepted payment methods (bank transfer, credit card, etc.).

Summary of missing details: The published admissions/tuition page provides per‑semester tuition, entrance fee, bus fees, sibling discounts and notes on additional charges and uniforms, but it does not publish a distinct application/test fee, specific billing deadlines, refund policy language, or the accepted payment methods. The school's application form or admissions office holds further billing and payment‑term details.

Korea International School (KIS) in Shenzhen was founded in 2005 and is located in Nanshan District on Dongbin Road. The school website notes easy public-transport access — it gives walking directions from Lilin (subway) Station Exit A — and lists the full postal address and contact numbers on its Campus/Contact pages. KIS offers early years through Grade 12, runs AP courses and SAT services, and lists semester tuition bands and school-bus routes on its Admissions/Tuition page. The website does not publish a campus latitude/longitude or the total student enrolment; I can look those up on maps or ask the school if you want.
