Who we are
Our story goes way back to 1912, which makes us an integral part of Shanghai’s history. We’ve evolved alongside the city itself. As a non-profit international school with two campuses working together, we’re driven by enthusiasm and boundless opportunities. We’re all about creating a community where everyone feels valued, so we’re fully committed to fostering inclusivity, diversity, equity, and belonging.
Ever wonder what a day looks like?
