School buses

For the convenience of our pupils and parents, we provide a daily school bus service in cooperation with a third-party, licensed and professional transportation company. It operates more than 130 pick-up points in Puxi and 70 in Pudong. Each bus is staffed with a locally employed bus monitor, who manages the children's behaviour and is responsible for their safety and wellbeing during the journey. All parents who wish to avail their children of bussing services are required to read our School bus service policy carefully before the first day of school.

Registration process 
Parents may secure their booking by completing our application on EDU365 School bus platform. If a seat and bus route are available, applicants will receive a confirmation letter with the starting date, pick-up/drop-off points, pick-up/drop-off times and the bus monitor's emergency contact information. Bus routes are set and agreed upon with the Shanghai Police Department. Changes to bus schedules and pick-up/drop-off points may occur during the year. Parents and pupils will be informed of such changes in advance.
