Campus

Public and semi-public spaces of different sizes are scattered around the school campus in what the school describes as a "relaxed and comfortable environment".[8]

Fees and scholarships

Tuition fees are around 195,000 Chinese yuan per year for students in International Senior School, making it the most expensive private school in the area. Students pay additional fees for boarding, food, uniform, books and other minor expenses. With the average annual income of residents of Wuqing District being only 20,000 Chinese yuan per year, the school's tuition fees are around ten times the local average salary.[9]

Teachers

There are approximately 85 teachers at the school including 30 full-time expatriate teachers, 55 full-time bilingual teachers of Chinese nationality, 14 of whom hold degrees from universities outside of China. Thirty-six teachers master's and doctoral degrees, accounting for 42% of all teaching staff employed. The student-to-teacher ratio is usually around 8:1.[10]

Controversy

Two teachers formerly employed by Haileybury College brought a lawsuit against it in 2016 for various claims, including assault and deception of a VCE auditor.[11]

gollark: You could have *most* things work causally but just hardcode a rule which lets me have time machines.
gollark: Why? Causality is irritating. I want a time machine.
