At Nord Anglia International School Shanghai, Pudong, Early Years education is where our children build the all-important foundations for their future development within a truly international setting, ready for the countless opportunities ahead.

All parents know that the best schools are the ones that have a clear set of values, a shared vision, and a common purpose. This culture of positive learning is built up over time as a collaborative venture between students, teachers, the school itself, and parents, instead of being a fixed blueprint for every school, class, and child.

Don't miss this year's Nord Anglia International School Shanghai Pudong (NAIS Pudong) Christmas Bazaar on Saturday 10th December, 10AM – 1PM.

In our school we have four Houses: De, Dao, Li and Qi. Each house has a colour and a Chinese character. Now, let me tell you more…

What another exciting day for our Primary children today! Witches and vampires, fairies and superheroes and many more creatures could be spotted around the classrooms making it a fun-filled Halloween celebration.

What is Extended Essay? it is a piece of independent research on a topic chosen by the student in consultation with a supervisor in the school. The students can choose to pursue a single discipline essay in one of the IBDP subject groups or an inter-disciplinary essay investigating an issue of global significance. The Extended Essay process takes place across years 12 and 13 and greatly enhances students’ skills in research, critical thinking and reflection.

Confidence is a key skill for success. In an ever-changing world, having the confidence to experiment, learn and engage in tasks outside of your comfort zone is more important than ever before. At Nord Anglia, it’s also key to the education we provide.

We all know that waiting for exam results can be a stressful time for students (and their parents!) Throughout my career, I’ve noticed that parents can sometimes find it hard to support their children through what’s always a stressful time, and that they can really benefit from knowing what options they have once their child receives their results.

‘Personalised learning’ is just one example of a term discussed frequently in schools but often with different ideas and meanings. In my 30+ years as an educator, I have found that some parents have different definitions of personalised learning, while others may not be very familiar with the concept or the concrete benefits it brings to students at school!

Nord Anglia International School, Pudong has an outstanding reputation for being a caring and supportive community, something that I have seen in full evidence throughout this first half term, with every one of our Primary and Early Years students settling into their new learning environments and routines successfully and happily.

As somebody who is planning on entering the medical field and studying medicine once graduate, our IB student Jessica has done a lot of research into how she can do as much as she can, outside of academics, to prepare herself for the extremely demanding field.

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all our students, parents, and families.

As your child begins their education journey in preschool — or even if they’re a bit older in primary or secondary school — creating friendships is vital for their social development along the way.

As a parent, have you ever wondered how you can better support your child’s learning at school? We sat down with Dr Kate Erricker, Nord Anglia Education’s Assistant Director of Curriculum — who has 21 years of educational experience — to discuss some of the best ways parents can identify their children’s individual strengths and help them develop their skills so they can get even more from learning at school.

Here are the most important dates for your diary in the upcoming school year.

One of the questions I often get asked — by students and parents alike — is “what exactly is creativity and why does it matter?”
