Address: No. 26, E Shan Road, Pudong New Area — the international division is on the Jincai High School Eshan Rd campus in central Pudong, close to Century Park. The school site gives the Pudong/Century Park location but does not list specific public-transport links; families usually check local metro/bus maps and the school for door-to-door directions.
JCID runs an Elementary (listed as Grades 1–5), Junior High (Grades 6–9) and Senior High (Grades 10–12) structure; fee pages on the site show these grade bands. The school operates both a Chinese section and an English section and implements IPC in the elementary years, the MYP in middle years and the IBDP in senior years.
JCID is the international division of Shanghai Jincai High School (an established Shanghai high school) and is authorized as an IB World School. The site shows the international division coexisting alongside the Chinese section and serving both local and international students.
The site describes language support such as ESL/CSL in the elementary curriculum and a range of after‑school programmes; it also describes school counselling and individual counselling for student mental health. The website does not provide a detailed Special Educational Needs (SEN) policy or a named learning‑support team — contact admissions to discuss specific additional‑needs arrangements.
The international division is part of Shanghai Jincai High School and was established with approval from the Shanghai Municipal Education Committee; it operates within the Chinese school system while offering international (IB and English‑section) programmes.
The school website does not indicate any religious affiliation.
The public pages visited do not list a regular start/end time or daily timetable for lessons and breaks. For exact school‑day hours and the daily schedule (including lunch and break times), contact the admissions or elementary/middle school offices listed on the site.
