BASIS International & Bilingual Schools Chengdu

Opened in fall 2022, BASIS International & Bilingual Schools Chengdu serves students in Grades Pre-K - 10, and will eventually expand to offer courses through Grade 12, with a capacity of over 1,800 students. This campus is our first to house both an international and bilingual curriculum in one location. The school's facilities include state-of-the-art classrooms, cafeteria, library, gymnasium, science labs, and plenty of outdoor space.

Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan province--home to famous historic sites, cuisine, and culture. Our school is located in a new area of Chengdu, a high-tech area in the southwest of the city. The master-planned location will include plenty of green space, and is convenient to the Chengdu airport as well.
From the Head of School We are committed to the intellectual and personal development of each student and believe that our values will help prepare them for a purpose-driven life as a member of an increasingly globalized society. We believe that a rigorous and challenging academic program is an essential preparation for top colleges and universities around the world to which our students aspire. 

Our faculty are carefully selected for their ability to inspire students with individualized attention and their proven commitment to school life outside the classroom in coaching and co-curricular activities in the arts, athletics, service and learning-centered clubs. We welcome you to learn more about the quality of our programs, the caliber of our teachers, and the caring, committed nature of our community.

Living in Chengdu Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan province--home to famous historic sites, cuisine, and culture. About 1,300 years ago, Li Bai, the greatest poet in the Tang dynasty, described Chengdu as a prosperous, peaceful, and beautiful place in one of his famous poems. This certainly remains true today, as Chengdu has consistently been considered as one of the happiest cities in China, and one of the world's 15 Happiest Places by the CNN Travel Channel.

Chengdu has the largest hospital in China, easy shopping in neighborhood markets, and also the Chengdu Global Center--the world's largest stand-alone building, approximately the size of 20 Sydney Opera Houses and 8 Beijing Olympic Stadiums.

The city is also home to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Numerous other outdoor recreation activities are within easy reach as well, including Qingchen Mountain, the Bamboo Ocean in south Sichuan, rafting, hiking, and skiing. High-speed rail lines also connect the city to almost all other major cities in China.
