QSI International School of Shenzhen was established in 2001 as a non-profit, co-educational day school serving students from early childhood through secondary graduation. It operates as an independently owned and operated school within the Quality Schools International (QSI) organization; QSI's origins trace to Sanaa International School founded in 1971. The school is accredited by the Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges and serves largely expatriate families in the Shenzhen area. Leadership is provided by a campus director and senior staff who oversee the three campuses and academic programs.
The QSI Shenzhen community is made up of a multinational expatriate parent body, teaching staff recruited from English-speaking countries, and students across three campuses. The school posts an events calendar and runs regular school activities and cultural programs (for example, Dragon TV and student exchange information sessions are listed on the school events pages). After-school activities and language-support programs are part of the weekly routine, and the school promotes character-oriented Success Orientations across classes.
QSI Shenzhen's Parent Support Group (PSG) is the school's parent-teacher association; all faculty, administration and parents of enrolled students are automatically members. The PSG is run by volunteer coordinators and a coordinating team that organizes campus and language coordinators to help communicate across the school's multiple campuses. Typical PSG activities include fundraising for non-curricular student programs, organizing community events, and providing volunteer opportunities across campuses. PSG meetings are open to all parents and are usually held after the monthly “Coffee with the Director” sessions; the PSG also maintains bulletin boards on each campus and distributes updates through the school e-newsletter. Parents can contact the PSG or volunteer via the school office or the PSG contact email listed on the school site.
QSI International School of Shenzhen was established in 2001 as a non-profit, English-medium day school and serves expatriate families in Shenzhen across three nearby campuses. The school operates a Preschool & Lower Elementary campus (ages 2–7), a Main campus for middle grades (ages 8–13), and a Secondary campus for ages 14–18; AP courses and the IB Diploma are offered at the secondary level. QSI uses a Mastery Learning approach and explicitly teaches its Success Orientations (e.g., Trustworthiness, Responsibility, Kindness) across grades. Preschool and lower-elementary class sizes are given as 16 for 2-year-olds and about 18–20 for 3–7 year-old classes. Facilities described on campus pages include libraries, science labs, music and art spaces, indoor gym space and outdoor play areas. An optional, local school-bus service (with English-speaking bus monitors) is available; routes and fees are handled separately by the school.
