Soong Ching Ling School

Soong Ching Ling School is on Ye Hui (Yehui) Road in the Zhaoxiang area of Qingpu District, on the western edge of Shanghai; the school gives the campus a suburban, residential setting. The website lists the campus address as No.2 Yehui Rd, Qingpu District (Zhaoxiang), and the school's own profile describes a large, green campus in Zhaoxiang.

The school comprises both Domestic and International divisions and offers primary, middle and high school provision; the International Division serves grades 1–12.

Soong Ching Ling is a co-educational day school with separate Domestic and International divisions operating on the same campus. The public information does not indicate boarding provision.

The school describes bilingual/co-teaching arrangements (Chinese and Western teachers in classes) and separate Chinese-language tracks for native speakers and additional‑language learners, which supports language differentiation. The website does not publish a detailed public policy about formal Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision, so parents requiring specific SEN services should contact Admissions to discuss individual needs and available support.

SCLS is a Chinese school founded and funded by the China Welfare Institute (established in memory of Madame Soong Ching Ling); it is not affiliated to a foreign country.

The school does not list any religious affiliation; its materials present an educational and cultural mission rather than a faith-based one.

Public listings indicate a typical school day beginning in the early morning and finishing in the mid‑afternoon (examples found: about 08:00–15:30 or 08:15–15:50 in third‑party school listings). Exact daily start/finish times and break/lunch schedules can vary by division and year, so please confirm current hours with Admissions.

The school operates a formal school-bus service with multiple morning and afternoon routes for Primary, Middle and High School; route maps and timetables are published on the school website. The school's published fees (2024–25 pages) list bus transport charges in the range RMB 1,000–1,200 per month (distance-dependent). Parents can view route details and downloadable timetables on the school's School Bus Service pages or contact Admissions for route availability at your address.
