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.
OVIS's published materials describe small-class, layered teaching and a wide programme of clubs and extracurricular activities, and say the school emphasises individualized learning and student development. However, the school's public pages and the group's official 2025 admissions/overview do not describe specific Social‑Emotional Learning (SEL) programmes, named pastoral teams, or dedicated SEL staff and initiatives. Therefore, there is no publicly available detailed statement of formal SEL provision on the school's site or admissions brief.
OVIS is described in admissions materials as an English‑medium school and its entry process includes testing and placement; third‑party programme summaries state that entry involves language testing and that core courses are taught with language‑level groupings. These descriptions indicate structured English‑language placement and layered language levels for core subjects, but the school does not publish a separate, detailed EAL policy or named EAL team on its public pages. In short: English‑medium instruction with testing/placement is documented, but a dedicated EAL policy or full staffing detail is not publicly posted.
Third‑party summaries and the school/group overview refer to psychological‑counselling or "心理辅导" as part of student support and state a prevention‑focused approach to student mental health. The group's public overview emphasises whole‑child development and small classes, but the school does not publish a detailed breakdown of counselling staff numbers, hours, or a full mental‑health programme on its main pages. Therefore there is limited public information: mental‑wellbeing support is mentioned, but operational details and staff lists are not publicly disclosed.
