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.
