The school has two campuses and there are currently 46 classes and 1338 students in all, divided into 20 classes with the Local department, 18 in the International department, and 8 in the PYP department.

Directed by the school board, the principal takes full responsibility for school management. The school prides itself on having a qualified and competent faculty dedicated to education.

A major focus is instilling high moral standards in pupils, raising their international awareness, and cultivating their potential for further development. Importance is attached to their basic knowledge and capability. The ultimate goal is to lay a good foundation for the pupils who will be expected to become well-educated international citizens with competitive strengths.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) authorized the SWFLPS PYP department in 2007. It is the first Chinese-led IB PYP World School.
