How thinking about thinking is the key to success for children and adults alike

As a part of the Nord Anglia International School Shanghai, Pudong community let us give our heartiest congratulations to Callum Lang for winning the 18 years and under category in the Dishui Lake Olympic distance triathlon event over the weekend. Completing a 1.5 km swim, 40 km cycle and 10 km run is no small feat, and we are incredibly proud of his achievement to emerge victorious.

“Life constantly throws curve balls at us. It’s inevitable, but it’s how we react to a situation that matters. Every action has a reaction and if we can control our reaction, we can control the outcome.”

We are excited to announce the implementation of two new programmes in our school, both of which will greatly benefit our students’ reading development: Accelerated Reader and Star Reading Assessment.

Nord Anglia International School Shanghai, Pudong community enjoyed an afternoon celebrating the coronation of King Charles III last week.

As The United Kingdom, commonwealth countries, and many diverse communities round the world prepare to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III, it is poignant to reflect upon our own identity as the oldest international school in Shanghai, providing the full UK curriculum to international families for over twenty years. 

Maths in the Primary School at Nord Anglia International School Shanghai, Pudong is taught one lesson each day. Lessons are taught by class teachers who are helped by our highly skilled teaching assistants. We stretch, support, and challenge our students in every lesson by providing questions and strategies that require our students to reason, justify and argue their mathematical thinking. At NAIS, we build creativity in Maths by using a range of well-tried, proven methods and skills based on current research. We teach Maths following best practice and this helps us build considerate learners, who work together with others to solve problems. Our mission is to teach and prepare all our students for real life situations they will encounter not just in school as children but in the future when they become adults.

One of the aims of our Mathematics Curriculum is for students to be able to apply Maths in everyday situations. At NAIS Pudong our aim is to show the importance of Maths outside of the classroom, showing how the subject can link to all subjects in the curriculum and how these skills can be used in later life beyond school.

We are working on a series of activities and events to mark this momentous occasion. We want to tell the unique story of NAIS from the perspective of former and current staff, students and parents through stories and pictures. If you would like to be part of this project we would love to hear from you. You and your children were once part of our special community, and have all been on this journey to 20 years!

Join us for a morning of fun educational activities in our fantastic environment. You and your child will be free to explore the many different learning zones and meet our outstanding teachers and parents experiencing first-hand what it is that makes Nord Anglia International School Shanghai, Pudong such a special place to learn.  

Higher Education preparation can sometimes feel like an insurmountable ascent of selecting locations, sifting through world rankings, finalising predicted grades and sitting examinations when your child is in their final years of secondary school.

Students in the Model United Nations CCA had the opportunity to represent NAIS Pudong at the Shanghai Singapore International Model United Nations (SSIMUN) conference.

NAIS Pudong encourages students to think beyond where they might attend university. We provide the resources and support necessary for students to think critically about their future and how to position themselves in a rapidly changing world in terms of their education needs.
