International Schools in Nanjing, China

Nanjing has a compact but well-established group of international schools serving expatriate families and children with overseas passports; most directories list around nine schools operating in the city. These schools are predominantly English-medium and commonly offer International Baccalaureate programmes, British (Cambridge/UK-style) pathways and a few American or hybrid programmes, with Mandarin offered as a second language and EAL support for new arrivals. Annual tuition varies by school and year group but typically runs from the lower tens of thousands of RMB for some younger-year or bilingual options up to around RMB 200,000 - 300,000 a year at full international-school fee levels. Admissions follow a clear rhythm - the main intake is at the start of the school year (August), with a common mid-year window around January and many schools operating rolling admission where places remain available; schools will ask early for passports, past school records, health documentation and visa/residence information, and some international schools in China enrol only foreign-passport holders, so check each school’s eligibility rules before you apply.
