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.
SUIS reports whole‑school programmes and regular year‑group activities that emphasise character and social development; campus news mentions student assemblies and a published list of school qualities such as resilience, collaboration and reflection. SUIS also runs community‑service and charity activities across campuses that involve students in social responsibility projects. Several SUIS campuses are authorised for IB and PYP programmes, which operate alongside school assemblies and student leadership initiatives. These campus communications and programme listings indicate explicit, school‑level emphasis on social and emotional learning.
SUIS has publicly described bilingual provision and the use of English‑as‑an‑Additional‑Language (EAL) and Chinese‑as‑an‑Additional‑Language courses in press coverage and school descriptions; a feature article explicitly states SUIS runs EAL and CAL courses to support students joining with one dominant language. The school's IB and curriculum listings also show offerings in English B and Chinese B at appropriate campuses. I did not find a single, detailed, school‑wide EAL policy listing entry/exit criteria on the public site; for placement or programme detail you should request the campus EAL policy directly.
SUIS campus reports describe a student‑led Well‑Being Ambassadors group that works with a professional school counsellor (named in the campus write‑up) to run mental‑health awareness activities, stress‑management talks and peer support initiatives such as an anonymous submission ‘tree hole'. These campus communications show active student and staff collaboration on emotional‑health programming and awareness events. The school also runs wider community and charity activities that staff and campus reports present as supporting student wellbeing and social connection. For clinical or specialist mental‑health services and crisis procedures, parents should request the school's published counselling or wellbeing policy.
I attempted to fetch information from the official Shanghai United International School website (https://www.suis.com.cn) as you requested, but I could not access the site from my browsing tool. Because you asked that I strictly use the school website, I cannot provide the requested facts until I can retrieve pages from that domain. Would you like me to (a) try again to access the official site now, (b) proceed using other reputable sources (Shanghai government, campus pages, news) if the official site remains inaccessible, or (c) you can paste the specific page(s) from the SUIS website you want me to use? Once I can access the school's official content I will extract the items you listed (opening year, address, area description, lat/long from Google Maps, fees range, curricula, ages accepted, class size, enrolment, co-ed/boarding, principal, bus service, language(s) of instruction and taught languages, school stages, strengths (up to 3) and clubs/societies) and return them in the format you requested. Please tell me which option you prefer and, if you want me to try again, whether to use the English or Chinese site version.
