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 Diploma Programme (IBDP) — WHBC is an IB World School authorized to offer the IBDP (authorization recorded on the school site as granted April 30, 2013). This is the formal IB authorization that permits the school to deliver the two‑year Diploma Programme and use IB assessment.
• International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IBMYP) — WHBC is authorized to offer the MYP (the site states the school was a candidate in 2017 and received MYP authorization in October 2019). This authorization confirms the school meets IB requirements for the Middle Years Programme.
• Cambridge International / A‑Level Centre (Cambridge International Examination Centre CN276) — the school webpage describes passing the Cambridge inspection (November 2007), being assigned centre number CN276 and recognition of the A‑Level centre by local education authorities (January 2008). That Cambridge designation allows the school to register candidates and deliver Cambridge IGCSE/A‑Level programmes and exams.
• Approval from Wuhan Education Bureau for the A‑Level programme and for WHBC — the school's Authorisation page lists approval letters and approval documents from the Wuhan Education Bureau for the school and for its A‑Level programme. These are local official approvals required to run the referenced programmes on that campus.
• British Council / IELTS test‑centre recognition — WHBC's site states that in 2013 it was approved by the British Council as an IELTS Test Centre (described as the first IELTS Test Centre in a Chinese high school on the site). That recognition registers the school as an authorized location for IELTS testing.
• School‑level awards (past five years): The school website does not list any awards given to the school as an institution in the past five years (2021–2025). The site's recent news and activity pages primarily report student achievements, contest results, and congratulatory letters from partner universities or organizations; institutional recognitions shown on the site are authorizations/approval letters (IB, Cambridge, IELTS, local education bureau) rather than awards. If you would like, I can expand the search beyond the school website to look for external recognitions or awards.
