RESULTS THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

We believe in empowering our students to achieve academically.  For 20 consecutive years, NAIS Pudong students have exceeded the UK average in their results.  However, a great education is also about character development and student wellbeing. 

In a competitive world, we prepare your child to flourish academically, socially, physically and psychologically.

Team sports and athletics
Physical Education is an important part of every student's education. Starting with the development of fine and gross motor skills in our Pre-Nursery class to learning the rules and skills for all kinds of sports, PE is a subject that ignites passions.

Team sports and athletics
Physical Education encompasses far more than simply engaging in physical activities. It is an integral part of a student's educational journey, contributing to their physical health, social development, personal growth, mental well-being, and academic success. By fostering a love for physical activities and imparting essential life skills, PE equips students with the tools they need to lead healthy, active, and fulfilling lives. Thus, recognising and prioritising the importance of Physical Education is crucial for the holistic development of every NAIS Pudong student.

Performing Arts
Beginning in Pre-nursery, our Performing Arts courses are supported by our collaboration with The Juilliard School. Students take part in special concept-based lessons written by Juilliard specialists which encourage discovery-based learning linked to important pieces of music, dance and drama – allowing them to understand how the techniques they study in class apply to works by professionals in each field. 

They can also enjoy live performances from Juilliard alumni to support their learning. We have a strong ASA programme that allows students the opportunity to further explore their interests, including 1:1 music instruction, orchestra, choir, and our school productions.

STEAM

NAIS Pudong’s collaboration with MIT for our STEAM programme provides some of the most memorable learning experiences for our students. Our students benefit from our new state of the art Maker Space.

Image_NAISPudong_Shanghai_2021-084
STEAM
Our Maker Space is a creative area where students can roll up their sleeves and get hands-on experience in everything STEAM related. Through these activities, they learn how to solve problems, work as a team, think critically and innovate.

Our STEAM collaboration days allow an in-depth exploration of different topics and areas. These challenges, set by MIT professors, allow our students to be fully immersed in different subjects and to explore problems from all perspectives.

Our collaboration with UNICEF and engagement with their Sustainable Development Goals allows students unparalleled opportunities to make a difference in the world around them.

wellbeing & resilience

LOOKING AFTER OUR STUDENTS’ WELLBEING

Your child will get the most out of their education if they are happy, which is why we help our students find the most effective ways of monitoring and regulating their own sense of well-being. By learning resilience and skills for life, they’ll be equipped for the future. 

Our wellbeing and mindfulness programme is embedded into our curriculum. Your child will benefit from activities and resources designed to keep their minds and bodies healthy.

What’s more, students have access to Nord Anglia Education’s online platform Global Campus, where they can connect and collaborate on projects with other students attending the tens of other Nord Anglia schools spanning over 30 countries.

DEVELOPING A SOCIAL PURPOSE

CITIZENSHIP

Our school has a long history of leading local and global Model United Nations. This year NAIS Pudong hosted the NAEMUN China Senior Conference where over 40 delegates from four different NAE schools joined the Committee Meetings.

Our students and parents are active in fundraising and charitable donations, together raising nearly 70,000 RMB this year to support the Heart to Heart charity, providing corrective heart surgery for children across China. Additionally, each year, our Parent Community donates 24,000 RMB to Shanghai Sunrise, funding the education of six high school students and one university student. We believe it's important that your child understands how they can make a positive difference to their communities as global citizens, so we partner with the Wanliao Migrant School. We have many student-run charity and volunteer programmes, including a partnership with a local migrant school. We welcome underprivileged children into our community to help them improve their English skills, and participate in sports, arts, and cultural activities with our students.
