Western International School of Shanghai
About |
The Western International School of Shanghai (WISS) is a leader in international education. A WISS Education includes students in the Lower Elementary (Early Years), Elementary (Primary) School, and Secondary School and rests on four pillars that form our curriculum, Academics, Sports, Arts, and Community Service.
The WISS academic programmes bring together robust features from various national and international curricula delivered within the IB Primary (PYP) and Middle Years Programmes (MYP) framework. Our IB Diploma (DP) and Career-Related Programmes (CP) provide differentiated pathways for our senior students that best suit their learning styles and needs. These highly regarded and internationally certified capstone programmes are a defining feature of our school, reinforcing our desire to support every family with the best programme for their child, all of which is challenging and rewarding.
Our track record of success continues to be seen through the development of our students during their time at the school. Our most recent academic results have enabled 100% of WISS graduates to pass the challenging IB Diploma Programme, exceeding the global average score by some margin, and, more importantly, ensure that WISS graduates have successfully been accepted into a wide range of world-leading tertiary institutions.
Throughout its long history, WISS has been educating young people from across the globe in a caring and inspirational environment since 2006. WISS strives to send compassionate, brave, ethically-minded global citizens into the world. As an IB World School, WISS is uniquely placed to promote new perspectives and broaden the minds of the children in our care, deepening their sense of understanding and wonder.
Our small student-teacher ratio allows our students a personalized and flexible learning experience. WISS emphasizes student-centered learning, both inside and outside the classroom walls. Our balanced curriculum allows students to choose from various creative arts courses and athletic offerings.
At the Western International School of Shanghai, we offer a globalized international education to students ages 2.5-17+. Throughout these age groups, our academics strongly focus on student-centered learning. We combine academic rigor with a focus on creative arts through our visual arts, music, and performing arts programs.
As an international school in Shanghai, China, we believe our student’s learning experience should reflect the globally-minded, diverse, and technological world we live in. Following the IB philosophy, we nurture our students to inquire, think independently, and drive their learning.
