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.
Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA) — QSI International School of Shenzhen is accredited by the Middle States Association; the school's website states it has held MSA accreditation since 2006. MSA accreditation is an external, U.S.-based school-accreditation process that indicates a school meets a set of internationally recognized standards for governance, curriculum, student services and continuous improvement; QSI Shenzhen also notes that Quality Schools International is working toward system‑wide accreditation through MSA, which would align improvement planning across all QSI schools.
No school-level awards listed on the QSI International School of Shenzhen website for the five-year period from January 1, 2021 through January 1, 2026. I searched the school's public site (menus, About pages and news/events areas) and did not find any entries that identify awards given to the school (as opposed to awards or achievements by individual students). If you'd like, I can broaden the search beyond the school website (news, local press, QSI network pages) to look for any externally reported awards.
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.
