Bromsgrove School Mission Hills
Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm User:WhisperToMe, an American who lives in Shenzhen.

Your edit summary said: "BMH is not an international school so any reference to this was taken out." Strictly speaking it's hard to say one is or is not as there are multiple definitions of international school. I believe Chinese law does not define this per se.

However the Shenzhen municipal government does have a category for Bromsgrove: http://szeb.sz.gov.cn/jyfw/fwxx/fwshllbx/gggs/201803/W020180323615921408465.doc // "外籍人员子女学校" which means "Foreign Workers' Children's School". In other words categorized as for children of non-Chinese employees. This would universally categorize it as an international school by any definition. Also: "[...]深圳柏朗思观澜湖外籍人员子女学校为广东省教育厅批准设立. " seems to say that the Guangdong provincial government Education Bureau had categorized Bromsgrove as a school for foreign workers' children. The Chinese Ministry of Education categorized most of the other schools as such.

This does not mean the school does not admit Chinese children; I am aware some international schools in China do not, but I have found nothing saying that it doesn't...

Remember Wikipedia is based on what published sources say (V explains this). Therefore I restored the international description. The document is from Shenzhen's own government website, so if you feel the document is in error, you need to contact them and tell them to change it. If the Shenzhen government has released a new version of this document that does not include the school, please let me know, or cite it and explain it in the article.

Also, re: "Maths (taught in Chinese)" - since the city government designates this school as being for children of foreign workers, wouldn't it offer some English-medium math classes too? Publicly available info from the school website might help in that regard.
