The QSI International School of Shenzhen (QSI Shenzhen; QSI 深圳蛇口科爱赛国际学校) is an international school located in the Nanshan District of Shekou, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China. It is part of the Quality Schools International (QSI) organization.

Previously, the school operated as two separate institutions: QSI International School of Shekou (蛇口科爱赛国际学校) and QSI International School of Shenzhen. QSI Shekou served students aged 2–18, while QSI Shenzhen enrolled students aged 2–13.[1] As of 2018 it is one of eight schools in Shenzhen designated for children of foreign personnel.[2]

History

[edit]

QSI International School of Shenzhen-Shekou was established in 2000[3] and began accepting students in August 2001.[4] The school was founded as part of Quality Schools International (QSI), a network of international schools aimed at providing American-style education to expatriate communities worldwide.

In August 2006, a second campus, QSI International School of Shenzhen,[5] ater renamed QSI International School of Shenzhen-Nanshan, opened to accommodate the growing student population.[6] The expansion reflected the increasing demand for international education in Shenzhen, driven by the city's rapid economic growth and its appeal to expatriate families.

To further meet student enrollment needs, a new campus in the Nanshan district was planned and scheduled to open in the fall of 2013.[7] Over the years, the school has continued to expand its facilities and academic programs, offering a curriculum based on mastery learning and an international perspective.

Campuses

[edit]

QSI Shenzhen operates multiple campuses to accommodate different educational levels.

  • Upper Primary Campus – Located in the Bitao Center[note 1] on Taizi Road,[note 2][8][9][10] this campus serves students in the upper primary grades.
  • Lower Primary Campus (PLE Campus) – Situated on the same road as the upper primary campus, the PLE campus is dedicated to early childhood and lower primary education.
  • Secondary Campus – The secondary school campus is located on Gongyuan Road, providing facilities for middle and high school students.

Former Campuses

[edit]

Previously, QSI Shenzhen operated campuses in different locations across the city:

  • TCL Science Park, Nanshan District[11] – One of the earlier locations of the school.
  • Honeylake, Futian District, – Another former campus, situated near the Shenzhen Celebrities Club, adjacent to it.[5][12]

Each campus is designed to support a diverse international student body, offering modern facilities and educational resources aligned with QSI’s curriculum.
