Olive Tree International Academy, known as OTIA, is a private twelve-year school in the Linping district of Hangzhou, founded in 2017. It covers primary, middle and high school in one institution and was the first twelve-year international-style private school in Hangzhou authorised to admit Chinese nationals at every grade. More than 1,500 students and over 300 staff are on roll, drawn from more than fifteen nationalities. The school is an IB World School, authorised for the Primary Years and Middle Years Programmes, and it combines those frameworks with Chinese national curriculum standards and textbooks. In the high school it offers several external routes - Advanced Placement, A Levels and the Hong Kong Diploma - and it is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Its stated philosophy is 'Embrace Diversity, Nurture Distinction', and it aims to educate what it calls optimistic visionaries, tenacious co-builders, inclusive globalists and autonomous change-makers. The school reports that every graduating cohort since it opened has received offers from universities ranked in the QS world top 100, with seven Cambridge offers across four cohorts. The campus is a ten-minute walk from Nanyuan station on metro line 9.
