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.
Nord Anglia Chinese International School (NACIS Shanghai) was founded in September 2016 and has since expanded into a K–12 bilingual campus serving a large student body (the school's site states a roll of around 2,500 students). It is operated as part of the Nord Anglia Education group, a UK-based owner and operator of international schools. NACIS's public materials note the development of purpose-built facilities, a boarding programme and partnerships with external organisations for curricular enrichment.
NACIS describes a bilingual, multinational school community that runs regular cultural and extracurricular programmes — including performing-arts, STEAM and global-service activities — and participates in Nord Anglia's regional events and global initiatives. The school's public news and partner reports show NACIS both taking part in and hosting multi-school events (for example, a Nord Anglia performing-arts festival held in Shanghai in 2025).
Nord Anglia Chinese International School (NACIS Shanghai) opened in 2016 and is located in Minhang District's Huacao area (华漕镇). The school's website states the campus sits in a suburban riverside/park environment and is split into primary and secondary areas. NACIS Shanghai offers bilingual (Mandarin–English) teaching that combines the Shanghai National Curriculum with international programmes, and lists partnerships such as the MIT–Nord Anglia STEAM collaboration and a Juilliard-linked performing-arts programme on its site.
