There’s a specific kind of magic that happens when you take learning outside the classroom.
Our MUN team just returned from Beijing, and while the "Accomplished" badges and Honourable Mentions are wonderful, they aren't the whole story. The real story is the student who used to be too nervous to raise their hand but ended the week leading a caucus. It’s the moment two "rival" delegates stopped arguing and asked each other, “Why do you feel that way?”
That empathy is at the heart of a WISS education. We don't just want our students to be the smartest in the room; we want them to be the most compassionate. By balancing rigorous Academics with a dedication to Service, our students are learning that being a "Global Citizen" isn't a title—it's an action.
Join us in celebrating these brave young leaders! 👏

Western International School of Shanghai, ESG does not begin in theory. It begins in Primary School.
Through the IB PYP Exhibition, our Grade 5 students explored real-world challenges linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and turned their learning into meaningful action.
They identified every tree on campus and created nameplates so our community could better understand and protect the natural world around us.
They researched the impact of plants on focus, stress, and wellbeing, raised the funds themselves, and placed a living plant in every Primary classroom.
They learned about composting from gardeners and community experts, then passed that knowledge on to younger students — showing even five-year-olds how food waste can give back to the earth.
At WISS, we believe children should not wait to grow up before they make a difference.
They can start now. And they do.

“Will my child be ready for the next grade?”
It’s one of the most common questions parents ask — especially during times of change.
At WISS, we don’t leave that transition to chance.
Our Step Up Day gives Early Years and Primary students the opportunity to experience what’s next before the new school year begins. They walk into their future classrooms, meet their teachers, and begin forming the confidence they need to thrive.
Because for many children, it’s not the learning that feels difficult — it’s the unknown.
By making the unfamiliar feel familiar, we help students move forward with calm, curiosity, and excitement.
At WISS, an IB international school in Shanghai, we believe every child deserves to feel ready — not rushed.

Is your child confident enough to stand up, speak out, and truly express themselves?
At many schools, academic success is clear — but confidence, creativity, and real-world skills can be harder to build.
At WISS, we believe education must go beyond grades.
This term, our Secondary students brought The Servant of Two Masters to life — a fast-paced Italian comedy that demanded courage, collaboration, and quick thinking. From perfectly timed comedy to high-energy ensemble work, students didn’t just perform — they grew.
Behind every moment of laughter was months of dedication, teamwork, and personal growth.
Because when students feel safe to take risks, they learn to lead.
If you're searching for an IB international school in Shanghai that develops the whole child, WISS offers more than education — we build character, confidence, and capability.
