At BISS Puxi, we have a longstanding record of excellence in both the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). We’re maintaining this legacy by employing the best educational talent combined with the latest teaching methods. 

In 2021, three of our students achieved a perfect score of 45 points on their IB exams and the average for the graduating class was an impressive 38.4 points – 5 points above the global average. These results demonstrate the hard work of our students and how well they are supported by our outstanding teachers and school community.

Exceptional Learning Experiences

None of us can predict the future, but a world-class education can prepare your child for it. As well as cutting-edge STEAM facilities, our students take part in local, national, and international expeditions. These experiences challenge them, teach them the value of giving back and show them how to become a better global citizen.

Additionally, we host a series of wellbeing programmes and seminars throughout the year for both students and parents. These programmes teach valuable skills like time management and stress reduction, elevating the learning experience for all involved.

Our social purpose

Social and environmental engagement forms an important part of BISS Puxi activities with parents, teachers and students all contributing to a better future.

Our inspiring Social Impact Programme challenges our students to think about what they can do to make a difference. Organised with UNICEF, the programme supports the UN Sustainable Development 2030 agenda. Every year, we set a Global Challenge which sees students from across Nord Anglia come together in seminars, workshops and speaking opportunities at the High-level Political Forum (HLPF) at the UN HQ in New York. The goal is simple: helping our students to influence world leaders and make the world a better place.
