The Western International School of Shanghai (WISS) is a leading international school with a 15-year history of excellence in education.

WISS is unique in that it’s the only international school in Mainland China that offers all four IB Programmes of education. These continuums of programmes extend across Primary Years (PYP) (which includes Early Years), Middle Years (MYP), IB Diploma Programme (IBDP), and Career-related Programme (CP). The Career-related Programme offers four pathways in Aeronautics, Art & Design, Business & Sustainability, and Sports. These continuums of programmes allow us to broaden the minds of the children in our care through innovative, high-quality, inquiry-based learning and teaching.

The WISS Education facilitates individualized pathways that empower students to become lifelong learners and develop into Global Citizens. Our school is committed to delivering an international, student-centered, and holistic learning experience. Through an inquiry and concepts-based approach to teaching and learning, students at WISS acquire the knowledge and skills for success in the 21st Century and future workplace.

WISS expertly blends academic rigor with the creative arts through our visual arts, music, performing arts programs, and athletics to create a dynamic and holistic learning environment where our students can flourish. As an international school, we believe our students' learning experience should reflect the globally-minded, diverse, and technological world we live in. We nurture our students to think independently and drive their own learning following the IB philosophy.

WISS is also home to a diverse student community of over 45 nationalities, creating a vibrant learning environment in which students explore challenging aspects of the world around them. Our school offers a truly international learning environment while still fostering an appreciation and respect for our host country through our distinguished Chinese language program and the relationships we grow with our local community through active engagement.

We are dedicated to encouraging excellence amongst our students. We, therefore, offer students in Secondary a range of scholarship opportunities that recognize and reward their unique talents, dedication to learning, and academic performance.
