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.
Accreditations and official recognitions shown on the school website:
- Cognia accreditation — Cognia is an international education-quality and improvement organization that evaluates schools against a set of standards and conducts ongoing external review; the school's Cognia accreditation indicates it has met Cognia's standards for organizational quality and student learning.
- Foreign Expat Children's School license (Ministry of Education, People's Republic of China) — the school's history page states that in 2011 it became the first international school in central China to be granted a Foreign Expat Children's School license by China's Ministry of Education; this is the official operating license that permits a school to serve foreign/expatriate children in China.
Note: the website also identifies the school as part of the LifePlus network (an international school group/branding), which is an affiliation rather than an accreditation.
Awards to the school listed on the school website in the past five years (January 1, 2021 through January 1, 2026):
- None found on the school website. I reviewed the school's About page and recent newsletters/news pages (site sections where school-level recognitions or awards would typically be announced) and did not find any entries on the website that describe awards given to the school itself during that five-year period. If you would like, I can extend the search beyond the school's site (for example, local education bureau announcements or external news articles).

The site lists an average class size of 17 and states the school serves over 260 students; the admissions pages give entry guidance (ECC/Foundation entry from age 3) and the 2025–26 published tuition ranges from RMB 86,000 to RMB 219,000.
