Optics Valley International School

OVIS is in Wuhan's East Lake High‑tech Development Zone (Optics Valley), in the Optics Valley central city area; some directory listings give the campus address as No. 199, Shendun 5th Road. The school is reported to be close to local public transport (about 400 m from the Gaokeyuan tram stop).

OVIS is described as a K–12 (15‑year) school offering continuous education from kindergarten through high school. Published material and directories list class groupings from early years up to Grade 12.

OVIS is an international, co‑educational school serving expatriate children and other internationally mobile families; it was established as a strategic education project in the Optics Valley development. Public sources list it as an international K‑12 school (no public statement about boarding provision).

Publicly available school summaries do not detail a dedicated special‑education/SEN department. Third‑party directories note the school uses teaching assistants and lists modest average class sizes (around 20), but specific SEN programmes or facilities are not described — parents should contact the school for individual support details and assessment procedures.

The school is based in China (Wuhan) and is presented as a local international/expatriate school rather than as being affiliated to any single foreign country.

No religious affiliation is indicated in publicly available descriptions; the school is presented as secular/international in its published materials.

Directory listings report a typical school day starting around 08:00 and finishing around 15:00. Break and exact lunchtime arrangements are not specified in the public summaries — confirm daily schedule with admissions.

Application fee

- Where a per‑term/semester breakdown is reported by regional school lists, the international/high‑school tuition is shown around RMB 68,000 per semester (approximately matching the annual figure above). Different third‑party summaries present tuition either as an annual charge or as the equivalent per semester.
