Olive Tree International Academy

Olive Tree International Academy (杭州橄榄树学校) was founded in 2017 as a private, full‑time twelve‑year internationalized school. From its establishment the school positioned itself to enroll Chinese‑national students in a continuous 1–12 program and developed a formal, operational collaboration with Beijing Foreign Studies University for curriculum support, teacher training and other educational resources. The school's public information lists a campus of about 100 mu and reports more than 1,000 students and over 300 staff, with team members from 15+ countries. The school describes its curriculum approach as blending the Chinese national curriculum with international programmes (including IB frameworks).

The school's news feed shows an active programme of academic and cultural activities, including international exchange visits (for example a visiting cohort from Abbotsholme), student competitions such as iGEM, and membership in international networks like Round Square. Regular on‑campus events and competitions—examples reported on the site include cooking contests, school‑wide debates and a ‘math Guinness' challenge—are part of the calendar and draw student and family participation. The school also runs parent‑facing occasions such as open days and a university fair, and publishes stories about SEL (social‑emotional learning) activities that include parent conversations.
