IB DP sessions in China for 2026–27
Private, independent, and international schools in China - especially around Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen - often run Chinese national curriculum, IB, A-Level pathways with Chinese and English-medium instruction. Coordinators juggle September enrolment before the academic year start while finance teams track term tuition with installment and sibling structures.
Chinese families increasingly expect portal access for fee receipts, attendance summaries, and Gaokao preparation tracks and term progress reports - not phone calls to the front office. Schoolyi connects admissions, roster, fees, exams, and family communication on one academic calendar so multi-campus groups scaling across provinces does not live in disconnected spreadsheets. Local named facts include China, Chinese, Chinese national curriculum, IB, A-Level. Academic operations align to September enrolment before the academic year start and China term boundaries on a central holiday-aware calendar. For 2026–27, treat official circulars published for this year as the only source of day-level dates. This page was structured in September 2026, when many April-year campuses were already in session and September-year campuses were opening.
IA deadlines and predicted grades sit on the school calendar beside that session. They are not the IB’s attendance register. Never invent a date sheet on this page. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
