Shanghai Hong Qiao International School

Located in the Gubei/Changning (Hongqiao) area at 218 Yili Nan Lu (near Lanbaoshi/Golden Street), close to shops and expat neighbourhoods; the campus is within walking distance of nearby metro stations and served by local bus routes.

HQIS describes a full early-years to secondary structure — nursery/early years through upper school — serving roughly ages 18 months up to around 18 years (Nursery to Grade 12).

Co-educational day international school; the school runs a continuous K–12 model incorporating IB PYP in primary and an American/AP-aligned programme in the upper years.

The school lists English-as-an-Additional-Language (EAL) and targeted English support for students arriving with limited English; school listings also note learning-support provisions (parents should contact Admissions for case-specific details and documentation requirements).

HQIS is an international (non-national) school; its programmes combine the IB Primary Years framework in early/primary years with American curriculum standards and AP courses in upper school.

The school is listed as a non-religious international school (no religious affiliation is indicated in official/major listings).

Typical published school hours are about 08:30 to 15:00 on weekdays; early-years/toddler classes may offer half‑day options while older classes attend full days (breaks and lunch are provided during the school day).

HQIS operates a school-bus service for families (third‑party or school-managed routes are offered) and school listings show published bus fees in past information — exact routes, stops and current fees are managed by the school and should be confirmed with Admissions.
