QSI uses the NWEA Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) computerized adaptive test to provide placement data.

Students ages 6 and up will take the MAP entrance test evaluating the student's knowledge in Reading, Mathematics, and Language Usage. All three tests are given in the English language.

Students ages 8 and older also complete a written essay.

In addition, there is an interview with the campus Director of Instruction (DI). This interview may be waived.

A student's placement in a grade level or class is decided upon by the Director of Instruction after the student has completed the admissions process. QSI places all students according to age and last grade completed.

For secondary (high school-aged) students, both MAP results and previous school records are evaluated closely to determine placement in the secondary program. Secondary students (ages 14-18) must show English language proficiency at a high enough level to be successful in earning a high school diploma.

Once a student is placed and chooses to accept their place at QSI Shenzhen, families must pay a Placement Fee and Capital Fund Fee within 10 business days of receiving the acceptance letter. The school's accounting department will contact you with an invoice and can assist with further questions.
