NAIS Pudong Scholarships
Scholarship applications are now open.
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.
As a Primary School, we recently celebrated International Maths Day. During the afternoon, we joined up in our houses and did a range of different Maths activities, with the objective of the children observing how Maths is used in everyday life. For example, Mathletics, the connection between sports and Maths; Maths Art - how famous artists use Maths to create their paintings; brain teasers to test our student’s resilience and thinking skills. In the Secondary School, Year 12 students showed leadership by working together to create an engaging activity for our Primary School students. Our children thoroughly enjoyed working with some of the older students at NAIS to celebrate their learning. The aim of the day was to celebrate all the hard work our students put into their Maths lessons and to develop a lifelong love for Maths. We definitely achieved both!
In the final of our series of alumni spotlight articles, we speak with Matthew Ward, a professional football player in England who spent six years at NAIS Pudong before departing in 2019 to take up his current role as an elite sports star!
At NAIS Pudong, we strive to achieve our values, one element of which is building confidence in our students to help them better prepare for life after education. But what about building the confidence to question one’s approach and strategy in tacking tasks or ideas?
On the last day of Term One, Principal Diane Vaughan conducted the termly Principal's Awards, this time celebrating the outstanding contributions of students who exemplify one of the school's core values of being considerate.
On 9th and 10th of December years 7-9 students were given the chance to debate on a given present-day topic. A debate is a structured discussion where individuals present and defend their viewpoints on a topic, aiming to persuade others with well-supported arguments.
