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.
- International Baccalaureate (IB) — Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP). SWIS is listed on the IB's official school directory as an IB World School; the IB pages list the authorisation dates for each programme (PYP authorised 30 Mar 2015; MYP authorised 26 Jan 2016; DP authorised 27 Mar 2017). These programme authorisations indicate the school has met IB requirements to deliver each programme and is subject to IB review and quality checks.
- Council of International Schools (CIS) — accredited. CIS published a re-accreditation notice for Shen Wai International School dated 13 December 2023. CIS accreditation is an external review process focused on whole‑school quality, governance, student welfare and international-mindedness; it signals the school has met CIS standards and is committed to ongoing improvement.
- Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC / ACS WASC) — accredited (as stated in Shenzhen government and other public school directories). WASC accreditation (through ACS WASC) is a regional/international accreditation process that evaluates schoolwide student learning, continuous improvement processes and institutional integrity; many universities and external bodies recognise WASC accreditation as evidence of quality and transferability of secondary-school credentials. Note: the school's WASC accreditation is reported on official local government and reputable school-directory pages, but an ACS WASC directory entry for SWIS was not located in the sources I could fetch during this check; I can verify further with ACS WASC or the school itself if you would like.
Shen Wai International School (SWIS) is the international section of Shenzhen Foreign Languages School, located at 29 Baishi 3rd Road in Nanshan, Shenzhen. The school's English-language site lists its three IB programmes (Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme) and menu sections for Athletics, Co‑Curricular Activities and Admissions, indicating an enrolment pathway from early years through to the diploma level. Contact details (telephone and map links) are provided on the site. The school publishes downloadable documents and pages for Admissions and Learning (PYP, MYP, DP) but the publicly accessible English pages do not show a published fee schedule, student roll, specific age entry ranges, class sizes, or the name of the head/principal. Where items are not present on the school site I have left them blank rather than use third‑party sources. (All facts above are taken from the SWIS website.)
