About us

The Essentials Guide was produced by The British International School, Shanghai, which is an organization devoted to helping others thrive. Our schools have more than 2000 students from more than 40 countries and have been operating in China for almost a decade. During this time we have gained a wealth of knowledge regarding the relocation process from our extended community and in producing this guide wish to pass this information on to you. We worked closely with relocation agencies and our families in order to provide for you the essential information you need to know before you go, when you arrive, and during your stay in our great city. The advice we offer should make the transition to Shanghai a safe, and enjoyable experience.

Should you have any questions please visit www.bisshanghai.com and navigate to one of our school sites. There you will find contact details for our admissions officers who are always happy to assist relocating families with information about the process.
