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.
Public records and school listings place the founding of Wuhan Australian International School (WAIS) in the mid‑2010s, with some sources reporting 2015 and others 2016. The school is registered as a private, nine‑year (primary–middle) institution approved by local education authorities. WAIS introduced International Baccalaureate programming at the elementary level and received IB PYP authorization in April 2020, with its middle‑years programme previously listed as a candidate. In December 2022 the school publicly announced a formal rename to “Wuhan AusNew Yingcai School” (武汉澳新英才学校); reports say the school's legal operator and private status did not change.
Public materials describe the school as enrolling both local and international students within a nine‑year primary‑to‑middle structure and note bilingual instruction in some subjects. The school regularly advertises campus open days and parent classroom‑observation events for prospective and current families; those notices and schedules appear in local education listings and city event postings. The campus is listed as having facilities such as an indoor heated swimming pool, a performing‑arts theatre, athletics track and multiple courts, which public listings cite as being used for sports, performances and cultural activities.
School announcements and local pages document parent‑focused activities such as open days, information sessions and opportunities to observe classes, indicating regular parent–school interaction around events and admissions.
