The Essentials

Sino-Canada School has 2,100 pupils, instruction in English, Mandarin.

Location
Sino‑Canada School's campus is in Wujiang (汾湖/淀山湖 area) in Suzhou, Jiangsu province — roughly 50–60 km from Suzhou and central Shanghai. The school's published address is 康力大道1号（中加教育园） in the Fenhu (汾湖) economic development area.

Stages
The school covers kindergarten, primary, junior (middle) and senior (high) school sections, with both Chinese-program and international streams. It operates an international high‑school pathway that follows the British Columbia (Canada) curriculum alongside domestic programs.

Type
Sino‑Canada is a private, co‑educational school that operates as a boarding school and offers both a Chinese diploma pathway and a British Columbia (BC) high‑school program. The BC program is registered/inspected by the British Columbia Ministry of Education.

Additional learning support
Publicly available school materials and common third‑party summaries do not describe detailed Special Educational Needs (SEN) or additional‑learning‑needs programmes on the school website or FAQs. Prospective parents should contact the school admissions or student services office to ask about individual learning‑support provision, assessment and available accommodations.

Country affiliation
The school is academically affiliated with Canada through its British Columbia (BC) curriculum and BC Ministry registration; it also delivers Chinese national‑stream programmes.

Religious affiliation
There is no religious affiliation stated in the school's public materials; the school presents itself as a secular international/Chinese school.

School day structure
The school's public pages and community listings do not publish a detailed daily timetable (exact start/end times and break times). Boarding students follow residential schedules in addition to the academic timetable; for precise daily hours and term routines contact the school directly.

Bus service
The school offers optional paid transport services (校车) as a service item; official notices indicate fees for services such as boarding, meals and school buses are arranged and communicated after admission. The school has also provided organised pick‑up for open‑day events in the past. For current routes, pickup points and fees, contact the school's admissions or transport office.

Fees

Annual tuition at Sino-Canada School ranges from RMB 25,000 to RMB 96,000 for 2026/27.

Application / registration fees
- New-student application / registration fee: RMB 200 (charged on application/offer).

Tuition — annual (by school division and programme)
- Kindergarten: RMB 25,000 per academic year.
- Primary / elementary: RMB 50,000 per academic year.
- Junior secondary (middle school): RMB 66,000 per academic year.
- Senior secondary (high school):
- A‑Level / British Columbia (BC) programmes: RMB 86,000 per academic year.
- China‑Japan / other specialised high‑school tracks: RMB 96,000 per academic year (where offered).

Per‑term amounts (estimate)
- The school publishes tuition as an annual charge. For budgeting, divide the annual figure by the number of academic terms to derive a per‑term amount (example: if your child is billed across two equal terms, Primary RMB 50,000 ≈ RMB 25,000 per term). This per‑term breakdown is an arithmetic division of the published annual fee and should be confirmed against the school's invoice or admission notice.

Boarding / accommodation
- Dormitory options are available. Typical published rates: RMB 5,000 per year for four‑bed rooms and RMB 10,000 per year for two‑bed rooms. Meal plans are charged separately. These service charges are described as optional/“service” fees and are itemised after admission.

Other costs
- Uniforms, textbooks, consumables, school bus, meals and extracurricular programme fees are charged in addition to tuition; amounts vary by selection and are treated as service/optional fees. The school issues a written fee notice with itemised optional charges after admission.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is published per academic year; families are required to pay amounts specified in the written admission/offer notice before enrolment. Mid‑year entrants are charged pro rata to the grade and entry date. Specific due dates and any late‑payment terms are set out in the school's admission documentation.

Refunds and withdrawal
- Published admission materials do not list a detailed public refund schedule. The school notes that service charges (meals, boarding, bus) are voluntary and that final amounts and any refund/withdrawal arrangements will be confirmed in the written admission notice; check that notice for the school's contractual refund terms.

Payment options
- The school uses standard Chinese banking arrangements for payroll and payments; Bank of China / UnionPay and bank transfers are noted in school communications. Families should expect to be able to pay by bank transfer and commonly used local channels; exact accepted methods and remittance details are provided in the school's payment instructions with the admission offer.
Academics

Sino-Canada School teaches Cambridge A Levels, Canadian Curriculum for students aged 6 to 18.

Curriculum
I couldn't load content directly from the sinocanada.cn URL you supplied, so this summary is drawn from the school's public pages and education portals. Sino‑Canada (中加枫华) operates a continuous kindergarten–Grade 12 programme with bilingual early‑years provision and an integrated primary curriculum that combines Chinese national standards with international elements. Lower‑secondary (roughly Grades 7–9) follows a blended international programme designed to prepare students for external lower‑secondary assessments such as IGCSE or equivalent. Senior secondary (Grades 10–12) runs dual pathways: a Canadian British Columbia (BC) credit‑based diploma taught in English by BC‑qualified teachers, and a UK‑style track offering IGCSE/GCSE and A‑Level courses; some campuses also report AP modules or country‑specific pathways (for example Japan). Qualifications offered therefore include the BC Secondary School Diploma for the Canadian pathway and A‑Levels (with IGCSEs where used) for the British pathway, with students typically choosing a pathway before Grade 10. If you want a campus‑specific, grade‑by‑grade mapping I can try again to fetch the official pages and cite them directly.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Initial inquiry and application: Contact the school admissions office to request the current application form and deadlines; confirm which academic stream you are applying to (BC/加拿大课程, A‑Level/IGCSE, or the Chinese bilingual pathway) because forms and spaces differ by stream.

2. Documents to prepare and submit: Prepare recent school reports/transcripts (previous two years if available), the student's ID or passport, a birth certificate, and any recommendation or special‑need paperwork; international applicants should also prepare copies of passport and a guardianship plan if the student is under local legal age. The school's publicly listed admissions information and third‑party school profiles consistently list prior transcripts and identity documents as required materials — confirm the exact checklist with admissions because some streams (e.g., BC/A‑Level) require English‑language evidence or additional subject records.

3. Entrance assessment: Expect a formal entrance assessment and/or interview: most published school notices and third‑party profiles state that applicants must sit entrance tests (typically English and mathematics for international/BC streams) and may have a short interview with school staff or foreign teachers. Parents should verify whether the test is on campus, can be taken at the student's current school, or may be arranged remotely; also ask what passing standards and grade placement criteria the school uses.

4. Offer, deposit and contract: If the student is offered a place, the school will issue an offer/acceptance letter and specify the required deposit or one‑time fees to secure the seat (for some programs the “加方学籍费” or program registration fee is charged separately). Parents should check whether the offer is conditional on payment, whether any deposits are refundable, and the deadline for returning a signed enrollment contract — these vary by stream and year so confirm the exact amounts with admissions before payment.

5. Registration, additional fees and boarding (if applicable): After accepting, families complete registration, pay the first term/year tuition and any boarding or meal fees, and submit health records and emergency contact information. Published tuition ranges indicate additional charges (boarding, program‑specific registration fees) exist — ask admissions for a current fee schedule, payment methods, and the school's policy on refunds, late payments, and payment deadlines.

6. Visa, medical and residency (international students): For non‑Chinese nationals or students who require study‑visa arrangements, parents should confirm which visa the school will support (student‑visa documentation differs by student status) and whether the school helps with the residency permit process; the school's FAQ notes that the institution provides documentation support and that medical checks are required for long‑term residency. International families should prepare passports, visa‑application documents, proof of insurance and understand any quarantine/medical requirements in effect at arrival.

7. Orientation and first term: The school normally runs a student orientation, issues uniforms and timetables, and may require parents to attend a briefing about daily routines, transport and pastoral care. Confirm start‑of‑term dates, bus routes (the school advertises bus services to major nearby cities), and who to contact for classroom placement or learning‑support questions during the first weeks.
