QSI International School of Shenzhen is part of Quality Schools International, a network of American-curriculum schools operating in countries and cities where international school provision is developing. The Shenzhen campus is positioned for the city's rapidly expanding international business community, centred on the technology and innovation sectors of Nanshan and Futian.
QSI uses a mastery-based learning approach, where students progress when they demonstrate subject mastery rather than on a rigid age-cohort timetable. This approach can be beneficial for students arriving from different curriculum backgrounds or at different points in their academic development, making QSI particularly accommodating for mid-year arrivals.
US college placement is the primary university route. Mandarin is taught throughout. The school maintains a small, closely monitored class sizes policy; teacher-student ratios are lower than at larger international schools, which reflects the mastery model's requirement for individual attention.
Admission requires a foreign passport. The school is well-suited to families on short-cycle postings where curriculum continuity and flexible intake are priorities.
