BASIS International School Chengdu
BASIS International School Chengdu opened in 2022 as part of the globally recognized BASIS Network. Located in the Chengdu International Bio-town within the Shuangliu District, the school represents a significant addition to the city's educational landscape. It follows the BASIS Curriculum, which is renowned for its accelerated pace and deep focus on subject mastery across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), alongside a robust liberal arts foundation.
The school serves students from Pre-K through Grade 12, transitioning from a play-based early childhood program to a highly structured primary and middle school, and finally to a high school program centered on Advanced Placement (AP) courses. The philosophy centers on creating a culture of high achievement where students are encouraged to become independent learners and critical thinkers. The faculty consists largely of subject-matter experts who bring specialized knowledge to the classroom.
The purpose-built campus spans approximately 40,000 square meters and features cutting-edge facilities designed to support the BASIS educational model. This includes state-of-the-art science labs, a 500-seat theater, a comprehensive library, and premium athletic facilities such as a 25-meter heated indoor swimming pool, a full-sized gymnasium, and outdoor sports fields. It has quickly become one of the most prominent options for families seeking a competitive American-style education in Southwest China.
