QSI International School of Chengdu

成都QSI国际学校 — American curriculum school

QSI International School of Chengdu is the Quality Schools International campus serving the Sichuan capital, which hosts one of China's more significant western-region expatriate communities centred on technology, manufacturing, and consular missions.

The school applies the QSI mastery-based approach, where advancement through subject content is tied to demonstrated mastery rather than a fixed annual curriculum cycle. This makes QSI Chengdu particularly accommodating for mid-year arrivals from diverse curriculum backgrounds, as students are placed at an individual level within each subject rather than assigned by age-cohort year group only.

Class sizes are small, and the overall school community is compact relative to schools in Beijing or Shanghai. This creates a close-knit family environment that can be valuable for families adjusting to life in a western Chinese city with less established expatriate infrastructure than the coastal megacities.

Admission requires a foreign passport. The Jinjiang District location is convenient for central Chengdu residential areas. US college placement counselling is provided. Mandarin is taught throughout.

Fees, admission requirements, and year-group availability change annually. Confirm current details directly with the school's admissions office before applying.
