The school is located in the Jiangbei Core Zone (FTZ), a new national zone in Nanjing, covering an area of 86 mu with a building area of over 57,000 m2, and was open in the fall of 2020. We adopt a small-class teaching mode with no more than 24 students per class.

Schooling mode: RGS Nanjing and its UK headquarter implement the "six-in-one” schooling mode, which integrates management mechanism, resource allocation, teacher training, teaching evaluation, teacher allocation and student training. In the future, it will also work with Royal Grammar Schools in Dubai and Katar as well as its UK headquarter to implement mutual recognition of credits, mutual provision of school roll, exchange of students, sharing of resources and teachers.
