At NAIS Pudong, we’re proud to be part of Nord Anglia Education, the world’s leading organisation of premium international schools.

At NAIS Pudong, the performing arts are brought to life through our transformative partnership with the world famous Juilliard School in New York. Using the Juilliard Creative Classroom, our teachers inspire creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love of the arts.

We are incredibly proud to announce that NAIS Pudong has won the Staff Development & Wellbeing Award at the 2025 China School Awards!

Last week, ten students from NAIS Pudong joined nearly 40 friends from our sister schools in Guangzhou and Cambodia for an unforgettable trip to Switzerland. From the initial shyness of meeting new faces to the lively farewells filled with laughter and heartfelt goodbyes, the friendships forged during this journey were truly touching!

Our mascot, Tony, graduated along with our other Year 13s in June 2024 and he’s decided to take a Gap Year in order to travel our global Nord Anglia Education family of schools.

We're thrilled to announce that Mr Deepak Khadka, our esteemed NAIS Global Campus Lead, has been appointed as the Regional Global Campus Lead for Nord Anglia International Schools in China.

In a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected, the need for education to transcend geographical boundaries has never been more crucial. Recognising this, Nord Anglia International School (NAIS) Pudong has embarked on an ambitious journey with its Global Campus program, aimed at fostering a generation of creative, resilient global citizens.

In late 2023, several NAIS Pudong students embarked on the trip of a lifetime to Les Martinets, Switzerland for a winter trekking project, and this month another group of lucky staff and children undertook the same journey to Europe for a skiing experience in the mountains.

I’m Katya, a Year 12 student at the British International School of Chicago, South Loop where I’ve attended since Year 4. Last month, I was lucky enough to participate in a week-long event at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, made possible thanks to the collaboration Nord Anglia Education has.

The world is rapidly changing, and with it, the skills and competencies required for success in the 21st century are evolving. In this era of globalisation and technological advancement, education must adapt to prepare students for a future filled with challenges and opportunities. Collaboration between renowned institutions is a powerful means of enriching the educational experience and equipping students with the tools they need to excel. One such collaboration that holds immense promise is the partnership between The Juilliard School, a world-famous institution for the performing arts, and the Nord Anglia Education (NAE) family of schools, which includes NAIS Pudong.

Early this month marked a truly exceptional moment for the NAIS Pudong community as we had the privilege of hosting not one, but two distinguished specialists from The Juilliard School – Ms. Ashley Newman, a Juilliard Dance Curriculum Specialist, and Ms. Aurea Tomeski, a Drama Curriculum Specialist. The dynamic duo brought a wave of artistic energy, enriching our school with their expertise and passion for the performing arts.

As a responsive practitioner, reflecting on the article "Life in the Skills Locker" brings to mind the remarkable journey we've undertaken in shaping education here at NAIS Pudong. My tenure has witnessed a transformative shift from a content-heavy focus to a holistic approach that values emotional intelligence and effective communication as much as academic excellence.

Happiness is something we all strive for, it is something everyone wants to achieve and something we want our students, family and friends to have a life filled with and yet measuring and quantifying happiness is something that many find impossible to do. But what is “happiness”? What does that mean? Is it a state of being or is it simply an idea and something that we hope to achieve one day? How can we truly measure and understand the role of happiness and the impact it has on our lives?

Earlier this year, students from NAIS Pudong submitted entries as part of a ‘Hack the Tube’ challenge set by our education collaboration partners at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).  Amongst our global family of schools, two of our students, Callum L. and Yoshiki S. emerged as victorious participants and just last week had the incredible privilege of travelling to the United States to present their winning entry to the MIT team.
