Shanghai Qibao Dwight High School is located in Minhang District at No. 3233 Hongxin Road (near Caobao Lu / Caobao Road). The campus is in the Qibao area of Minhang and is commonly reached by local roads and taxis (about 10 minutes from Xingzhong Road in local listings).
The school is an upper-secondary/high school serving grades 10–12.
Co-educational; the school offers both day-school places and boarding options for its high‑school cohorts.
Public-facing school listings and directories do not provide detailed descriptions of a specific SEN/learning‑support programme or named facilities. Parents should contact the admissions office to ask about assessments, individual education plans (IEPs), on-site specialists, or external referrals — admissions@qibaodwight.org. (Summary of what was found: directory and school summaries list curriculum and boarding/day options but do not publish a clear SEN policy or staff listing for additional‑needs support.)
The school is a Sino–U.S. cooperative venture: it was established in partnership between Shanghai Qibao High School and the Dwight Schools (U.S.).
No religious affiliation is listed in the school's public descriptions or directory entries; the school is presented as a secular, international secondary school.
Published listings state a typical school day runs Monday–Friday, approximately 08:00–15:30, with the usual mid‑day lunch and break periods; families should confirm the current daily schedule with admissions as times can change.
Public listings do not clearly state a school‑run bus network or specific route details. Parents relocating from overseas should contact admissions to ask whether the school operates a bus service, which routes are covered, the provider, costs, and how to register (admissions@qibaodwight.org).
