The world’s most populous country with 1.4 billion citizens,China has witnessed a boom in international schooling since the millennium. Mostinternational schools are centred on Shanghai and Beijing with smaller clustersaround Guangzhou, Chengdu and Qingdao.

More than 500 English-medium international schools now existin mainland China, compared to just 22 in 2001, and together they enrol morethan 200,000 students. Among them are 267 IB World Schools, including 159 authorisedto offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma.

There are schools offering the curriculums of France,Germany, Switzerland, Korea, Japan, Australia and Canada, while many followAmerican and British programmes and exams. Most are coeducational day schoolsbut a sizeable minority offer boarding, including sister schools to severalleading British independent schools.

Western International School of Shanghai (WISS) s the first school in mainland China to offer the IB Career-related Programme, a vocationally orientated study pathway for students aged 16-19, as well as the three main programmes of the IB curriculum, which culminate in the IB Diploma.

Foreign-owned international schools are notallowed to admit Chinese citizens, unless they have one parent with a foreignpassport or have returned from abroad. However, public schools and Chinese-owned private schoolsmay admit foreign nationals and many have set up an international stream alongsidethe Chinese curriculum. Meanwhile, some private schools have developed bilingualprogrammes in Chinese and English that use international curriculums and exams.

The international education group Nord Anglia Education operates eight international schools and 12 bilingual schools in mainland China, while the Hong Kong-based Yew Chung Education Foundation offers its model of bilingual, bicultural education at four international schools and six dual-stream private schools on the mainland.

Education is compulsory and free to Chinese citizens fornine years. It includes six years of primary schooling starting from age sixand three years of middle school up to age 15. Three years of senior secondaryschool or vocational education follow.
