Huge congratulations to our incredible Class of 2025! Your hard work, curiosity, and resilience have paid off in extraordinary ways—with offers from some of the world’s top universities, including LSE, UCL, KCL, and more!

At Nord Anglia International School Shanghai, Pudong (NAIS), we believe firmly that every child has the potential to become a confident communicator and writer.  Across Early Years and Primary, and leading into our Key Stage 3 transition, we utilise the Talk for Writing approach to accelerate our students’ progress in reading and writing and, crucially, in their speaking and listening.

Following from our recent article about two of our students being selected as finalists for the John Locke Essay Writing competition, we’re delighted to share that current Year 13 Yeonjin K has been awarded a High Commendation overall, securing not only the prestige that comes from the competition, but also a valued scholarship for a residential programme with the John Locke Institute in Singapore.

The Options Marketplace event offered an invaluable opportunity for our Year 9 and Year 11 students to explore their IGCSE and IB subject choices in a supportive and engaging environment. Teachers from all subject areas were present to guide the students, offering insights into how their subject selections can align with their academic strengths and future aspirations.

The new lunar year has already begun, and hopefully it follows a relaxing and enjoyable break for all of you, whether you stayed in China or travelled elsewhere.

What makes the Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (aka the “IBDP”) stand out amongst other qualifications offered by schools? As the world’s largest IBDP provider, we’ve got a unique perspective.

English as an Additional Language (EAL) is an essential programme offered in schools across the world. At NAIS Pudong, we present a customised EAL programme that aims to meet the needs of the individual.

We're exploring just some of the activities from school this week, and the academic journey began with a world of wonder and creativity!

OPENING MINDS, OPENING LIVES (OMOL)- A NAIS PUDONG STUDENT INITIATIVE

El Dia De Los Muertos is originally a Mexican tradition that has now spread to much of Latin America. It normally takes place from the 31st of October to 2nd of November, depending on the country. It involves family and friends gathering to pay their respects and to remember people who have died. El Dia De Los Muertos, however, celebrates death using a different concept: it tries to take a more humorous tone as people remember funny events and anecdotes about the departed.

This very simple question can be very difficult to answer. Indeed, it is the basis of much academic work and there are many eminent theorists in this field, but the most important thing for us is that by answering this question we can understand the basis of great teaching.

14 delegates, one committee president, three co-presidents and two MUN directors headed off early this morning to SAS Puxi for the SHAMUN Conference.

At NAIS Pudong, we are proud of having a unique ethos and approach when dealing with languages. We are rich in diversity and want to experience the celebration of different cultures in an environment where the values of global citizenship are promoted and developed within our students.

Supporting children from various backgrounds as all international schools do, creates a range of needs in the students that walk through our doors. Most of the children at NAIS Pudong are what we call EAL learners to some degree or another but what does EAL mean?

The sun was shining on the first NAIS Pudong picnic of the academic year! With last week’s typhoon a distant memory, new and old families gathered on the NAIS Pudong field to enjoy some quality time together making new friends and catching up with older ones.

Our Year 12 students completed and submitted their Theory of Knowledge (TOK) Exhibition on 22 June

Every Nord Anglia international school supports its students to achieve more than they may have thought possible. We believe there is no limit to what students can achieve socially, personally and academically. This year, our students’ academic results reflect our shared commitment to excellence in this area.

In this blog post Bevan celebrates, explores and discusses many aspects NAIS Pudong's trailblazing and academically rigorous international provision as well as the grounding for success that we have provided for so many of our alumni.
