Introduction

Yew Wah International Education School, Shanghai Lingang opened in 2015 and offers education from primary through high school on a single campus in the Nanhui / Lingang New Town area. The school combines the Chinese national curriculum at primary and lower-secondary levels with international programmes in senior secondary (two-year IGCSE followed by two-year A Level), and describes its classroom language environment as Chinese–English bilingual with collaborative Chinese and international teaching teams. The campus materials on the school website note campus size (~60 acres), boarding provision, on‑site sports and arts facilities, and a student–teacher ratio of 6:1. (All items above are taken from the school's official pages and the school's 2025 admission brochures.)

The Essentials

Yew Wah International Education School of Shanghai Lingang has typical class sizes of 25, instruction in English, Mandarin.

Location
Located in the Lin‑gang (Nanhui New Town) area of Pudong, Shanghai — address listed as No. 2 Yinlian (Yinlian) Road, Pudong, Shanghai 201306. The campus sits in the Lin‑gang Special Area near Dishui Lake and is reachable by local roads and regional shuttle/bus services serving the Lin‑gang zone; parents typically travel by car or taxi from central Pudong and nearby neighbourhoods.

Stages
The Yew Wah Lingang campus runs a continuum of schooling linked to the Yew Wah/YCYW network: early years provision is available on the wider campus, and the YWIES Lingang programme serves primary and secondary year groups (commonly reported as Grades 1–12, with IGCSE and A‑level pathways in upper secondary).

Type
The school is co‑educational and offers both day places and boarding options for students (boarding and day arrangements are noted in school materials). Parents relocating from overseas can apply for either day or boarding depending on year group and availability.

Additional learning support
The school maintains a Learning Support function (job listings and school information describe a Head of Learning Support and Learning Support teachers) and issues Individual Learning Support Plans and assessment/accommodation arrangements for students with identified needs. Families should contact admissions to discuss specific needs and available adjustments.

Country affiliation
YWIES Shanghai Lingang is part of the Yew Chung Yew Wah (YCYW) education network, an organisation with historical links to Hong Kong that operates multiple campuses on the Chinese mainland and internationally.

Religious affiliation
The school is non‑denominational; school materials and network information do not list a religious affiliation.

School day structure
Published information for the campus indicates a typical school day finishes in the mid/late afternoon (sources report student dismissal around 4:30pm); the admissions/office hours are Monday–Friday during daytime office hours and boarding students have supervised care after school. Confirm exact daily timetable and start/finish times with admissions during enrolment.

Bus service
The school offers a school‑bus service for students (routes and stop locations vary year to year). Local school listings and parent guides note that bus transport is available; parents should contact the school's admissions or transport office for current routes, pick‑up points, safety procedures and fees. } PMID: N/A.

Admissions

Admissions
Note — the URL you provided (https://www.ywies-sh.com) is the YWIES Shanghai Gubei campus; below I've prepared information for the Shanghai Lingang campus (official Lingang site and admissions brief).

1. Check eligibility and school intake plan. Confirm your child's age and residency status first — Lingang publishes age/registry requirements (for example, Grade 1 and Grade 6 age/placement rules and residency categories) and the school has limited places in each intake (e.g., Grade 1: 28 places; Grade 6: 72 places for the 2024/25 cycle). Parents should verify whether the student is eligible as a local Shanghai citizen, a non‑local with the required Shanghai residence permit/social insurance history, or as a holder of an overseas passport (HK/Macau/Taiwan included).

2. For Grade 1 and Grade 6 (mandatory municipal process). Per Shanghai rules, applications for Year 1 and Year 6 must be submitted through the Shanghai online service platforms ("一网通办" and the Shanghai compulsory‑enrolment system) during the published windows; the district then completes computer random allocation for oversubscribed plans. Parents must enter the school's registered name exactly (上海浦东新区民办沪港学校) and follow the district timetable (the school's 2025 brief lists the registration and volunteer‑submission dates). Missing those windows usually means you cannot be considered under the unified allocation.

3. For other grades (transfer/placement/international applicants). For entry into other grades you can apply directly via the Lingang admissions portal (online application or downloadable form) and submit the required documents: student ID/passport or household book, parent ID, recent academic reports, growth record (for Grades 2–9), and passport‑style photos; originals will be required for verification at interview/placement. The admissions office will acknowledge receipt and contact you about next steps and available slots; because places are limited it's advisable to apply early and prepare translated copies of transcripts if they are not in Chinese or English.

4. Placement process and school checks. For the Lingang campus the published admissions brief emphasises compliance with local policy: schools in the district have committed not to hold pre‑enrolment tests or off‑campus recruitment exercises for the unified intakes; for some transfers or high‑school international programme places the school may require academic records or programme‑specific assessments, and will notify families of any on‑campus checks. Parents should ask Admissions in advance whether a specific grade or programme will include an assessment, and should retain originals of all supporting documents for verification on arrival.

5. Offers, acceptance and practical next steps. For unified admissions (Grades 1 and 6) the district issues allocation notices; for other grades the school will issue its own offer/placement notice when a place is decided. If you receive an offer, follow the school's instructions promptly — confirm acceptance within any stated deadline, provide requested originals, and complete payment/registration steps the school specifies to hold the place; contact the Lingang Admissions team by phone or email (listed on the admissions page) if you need clarification. Always request written confirmation of the next steps and the deadline to avoid losing the place.

Scholarships
The Lingang campus participates in the Yew Chung Yew Wah (YCYW) network scholarship programmes. The network‑level YCYW Scholarship Programme and the campus's own scholarship announcements show three common award types: (1) the Madam Tsang Chor‑hang Memorial Scholarship (overall achievement), (2) YCYW Subject & Talent Awards (arts, music, sports, STEM, service), and (3) YCYW IGCSE/A‑Level (academic) awards. Award amounts and durations vary by campus and year; the network pages describe tuition‑fee waivers ranging typically from 15%–100% (with many campus awards set between about 25%–100% depending on category), and the Lingang campus has run annual application rounds with published internal/external deadlines. For 2024–25 the Lingang site published its own scholarship application window and named winners (campus announcements and the YCYW site have selection criteria, application instructions and deadlines). If you want to apply or get current percentages and deadlines for a particular incoming year or grade, contact Lingang Admissions (enquiry.shpd@ywies.com / phone listed on the admissions page) because award quotas, eligibility and exact fee‑waiver percentages are adjusted locally each year.

Waitlist
Lingang uses the Shanghai district allocation system for Grade 1 and Grade 6: when applications exceed a particular plan the district performs computer random allocation and then holds a separate adjustment (调剂) round if schools still have vacancies; this process acts as the principal mechanism for managing oversubscription for those grades rather than a traditional school‑maintained waitlist. For other grades the school handles vacancies directly: the admissions office records applications and contacts families as places become available — in practice this functions like a wait pool, but there is no public, school‑published numbered waitlist procedure; parents should confirm their application status with admissions and keep documents current. If you want to be considered for short‑term openings (e.g., mid‑year transfers or boarding places), contact Lingang Admissions and ask how they manage a waiting queue for the specific grade/programme.
