El Dia De Los Muertos is originally a Mexican tradition that has now spread to much of Latin America. It normally takes place from the 31st of October to 2nd of November, depending on the country. It involves family and friends gathering to pay their respects and to remember people who have died. El Dia De Los Muertos, however, celebrates death using a different concept: it tries to take a more humorous tone as people remember funny events and anecdotes about the departed.

Last Tuesday, Secondary students welcomed the month of November with high spirits during our exciting and sunny Sports Day.

Supporting children from various backgrounds as all international schools do, creates a range of needs in the students that walk through our doors. Most of the children at NAIS Pudong are what we call EAL learners to some degree or another but what does EAL mean?

Our Year 12 students completed and submitted their Theory of Knowledge (TOK) Exhibition on 22 June

Our recent toddler group “Tiny Tots” has been a real success, it was not only aimed at supporting relationships between children and parents but also to provide a range of experiences to promote learning and development for the child.

The concept of wellbeing is one which is not new in education nor new in societal mindset. However, what is new is the realisation of the importance it really holds in our capacity to flourish both personally and professionally. Students have always faced challenges whether due to academic or social pressure, yet today these challenges of growing up are combined with life in the 21st Century. Our thirst for speedy knowledge, the interconnectedness of social media and the manipulative nature of news media all means that student wellbeing is being tested to new levels. All schools will prioritise wellbeing, mental health and mindfulness but the aim of NAIS Pudong is to equip our students with the tools they need to cope with life’s challenges- to become independent, self-aware adults and global citizens.

You want your child to excel, so do we.
