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.
The school's public materials emphasise a student-centred ethos—“以学生为核心，尊重差异，关爱个体，引领成长”—and describe whole‑school events (opening assemblies, student speeches) and named programmes that promote student character and teamwork. These activities and ceremonies (for example term opening events and the school's Zhou Enlai class naming) are described on the school website as part of student life and civic/character education. The site does not, however, publish a standalone SEL curriculum or a detailed page describing dedicated SEL staff (such as a pastoral team or counsellors). For specifics about day‑to‑day SEL lessons, pastoral structures or staff roles, the school asks families to contact the campus directly.
The school's public website does not publish a detailed Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision or list of SEN services and specialists. While the leadership statement on the site refers to respecting differences and caring for individuals, there is no page that describes which specific types of SEN are supported or whether the campus is designated as a specialist SEN institution. Because those details are not available on the public site, the school's published materials do not confirm SEN staffing, adjustments, or formal SEN policies. Families seeking precise information about identification, in‑school support, or external referrals should contact the school admissions or student services offices for current, specific guidance.
The school website names a lead for the intensified/“强化年级” English language programme and describes immersive, task‑driven English classes aimed at strengthening language ability, indicating an in‑school focus on building students' English skills. The site does not, however, publish a dedicated EAL (English as an Additional Language) policy or describe specialist EAL withdrawal or targeted support for non‑native speakers. Therefore, while there is an advertised intensive English programme and a named programme leader, the school does not publicly disclose detailed EAL assessment procedures or specialist EAL staffing on its website. Parents needing confirmation about targeted EAL support should contact the school directly.
The school website includes activities and programmes intended to promote a safe, healthy campus environment (for example, legal‑and‑safety education delivered in partnership with local police), and the leadership page stresses caring for individual students. Those items indicate attention to student safety and wellbeing in school activities, but the site does not publish a dedicated mental‑health or counselling service page, nor named on‑site mental‑health staff for the Shanghai campus. Because a formal counselling/mental‑health provision is not described on the public site, the school does not publicly disclose full details of mental‑health staffing or specific programmes. For clarity about available counselling, referral pathways or external providers the school uses, contact the school directly.
The school's news pages document safety and legal‑education activities (for example, a “筑牢青春防线，法治护航成长” session delivered with local police), which the school presents as part of efforts to build a safe campus environment. The leadership page also highlights an ethos of caring for individuals and respect for differences. The website does not publish a visible, standalone child‑protection or safeguarding policy page (for example, no named Designated Safeguarding Lead or full safeguarding policy text is available on the public site). Because a formal safeguarding policy and DSL contact details are not provided online, families seeking the school's written safeguarding policy or DSL contact should request those documents directly from the school.
Shanghai Maple Leaf Bilingual School opened in September 2013 and is located at No.1 Fengye Street in historic Fengjing Town, at the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. The campus occupies about 150 mu and the site states the school enrolled around 1,000 middle- and high-school students and employs roughly 180 staff, including about 40 international teachers. The school is listed on the site as one of the first 21 pilot schools approved by the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission to run international high‑school curriculum programs; the site also highlights regular international‑university admissions and graduation events. The school presents both Chinese-language materials and bilingual (Chinese/English) communications on its pages, notes a named international‑curriculum leadership team, and publishes news about student performances and English language events on the campus. For specific tuition, class-size or bus-service details the school site points parents to the admissions materials and contact numbers.
