If there’s one thing we want families to know as they begin their admissions journey at Nord Anglia International School Shanghai, Pudong, it’s this: we absolutely love your questions.
Some parents worry about asking “too many,” or that their questions might sound “silly.” Please banish that thought right away. In our eyes, every single question matters – because every single child matters. Your questions help us understand what’s most important to your family and how we can best support your child’s transition into our caring, international community.
“Do students eat in the canteen or bring lunch from home?”
“What happens if my child forgets their PE kit?”
“How do you support children who are shy or new to English?”
We’ve heard them all – and we love them all. Every question helps us get to know your child and your family a little better. Often, what begins as a small, practical query opens up a much deeper conversation about your child’s personality, learning style, and wellbeing.
At NAIS Pudong, we don’t just welcome students, we welcome whole families. Asking questions is an important part of helping everyone feel comfortable and confident as they take this exciting step together.
Here’s how we like to think about it: your questions are like a treasure map. Each one is a marker that helps us find the “X” that marks the spot – your child’s best possible start at NAIS Pudong.
One question might tell us about their favourite subjects, another about their hobbies, another about what makes them feel most at ease in a new environment. Piece by piece, we build a clearer picture of who they are and how we can help them thrive.
The more you ask, the more prepared we are to make sure your child feels at home from their very first day.
Some of our favourite moments in Admissions are when a parent’s question turns into a great conversation. A question about after-school activities might lead to a chat about your child’s love of football or music. A question about language support might lead to stories about how our students flourish in our multilingual community.
We’ve even seen new parents connect with one another on school tours simply because they were curious about the same things. Your questions don’t just connect you with us – they connect you with our warm, welcoming parent community.
At the heart of our Admissions process is trust. By asking questions, you give us the opportunity to earn yours. And by answering openly and thoughtfully, we show you that your child’s happiness, learning, and wellbeing are at the centre of everything we do.
So please, keep the questions coming. Bring them along to your visit, jot them down on your phone, or email us afterwards. We promise: we’ll always take the time to answer them, because your curiosity shows how deeply you care about your child’s future.
Your questions make us better. They remind us what truly matters to families joining NAIS Pudong, and they help us prepare the warmest possible welcome for your child.
So, next time you hesitate, wondering if your question is too small or too obvious – ask it. Because when it comes to helping your child begin their journey with confidence and excitement, there’s really no such thing as too many questions.
