About Britannica International School Shanghai
Britannica International School Shanghai is a co-educational British international day school established in 2013 by Orbital Education, and is located at No. 1988 Gubei Road in the Minhang District of Shanghai. The school serves students from Early Years through Year 13 (ages 2–18) and has approximately 410 students enrolled. It is one of a small number of schools in Shanghai that explicitly follows the English National Curriculum throughout all year groups.
Students in secondary years sit IGCSE and progress to A Levels, with no International Baccalaureate track offered. The school's location in the Gubei area of Minhang District makes it accessible to families living in the Former French Concession, Jing'an, Zhongshan Park and Gubei neighbourhoods. Annual tuition for 2025–26 runs from RMB 252,300 in Pre-Nursery to RMB 356,700 in Years 12–13, with Years 3–4 at RMB 310,400. The school's relatively small size reflects the limited demand for a pure English National Curriculum offering in Shanghai's competitive international school market.
