Teach at BASIS International School Shenzhen in China

About the Campus

In 2015, our campus in Shenzhen was the first BASIS International School to open its doors in China. Opening with more than 400 students in Pre-K - Grade 10, it has currently grown to more than 1,000 students in Pre-K - Grade 12 and has numerous waitlists. This phenomenal success was recognized at the time as the largest first-year opening of an international school in the history of southern China. In 2023, the school opened a brand new, purpose-built campus to support our continued growth and development. This new campus includes exceptional teaching facilities including 68 standard classrooms, kindergarten classrooms, an auditorium, black-box theater, cafeteria, library, double decker gym, science labs, music classrooms, and an observatory.

BASIS International School Shenzhen has enjoyed a number of academic and athletic successes in its first nine years. More than two dozen students qualified for the World Scholars' Cup Global Round, and several teams have advanced to its Yale University rounds. The AP pass rate surpasses the U.S. national average in more than ten subject areas and graduates have been admitted to some of the most prestigious universities in the world, including Cornell, Duke, Oxford, Imperial College London, University of Toronto, University of the Arts London, and many others.
