At BISS Puxi, a world of adventure awaits. Your child’s education will reach far beyond the classroom, giving them an understanding of global challenges and opportunities.
We'll help your child develop the confidence, resilience and creativity they need to make their mark on the world. By introducing them to new and unexpected experiences we aim to unlock their potential, fueling their imagination and ambition.
Performing arts are so much more than what is seen on stage. They encourage self-expression and self-awareness, as well the development of empathy, confidence and cultural exploration. Our collaboration with Juilliard, the world-renowned performing arts school, combined with our outstanding dance, drama, and music programmes, inspires our students’ creativity, team-work and resilience.
The Juilliard School is recognised around the world as a leader in the performing arts; our exclusive collaboration with them harnesses their expertise and experience to create an arts programme that both inspires our students and sparks their passion to pursue their talents and interests.
Physical Education is embedded into every student's schedule. Our sports programme reflects our ambitions – with opportunities for children to participate, to compete and to specialise.
Sports and Athletics
With gold-winning Olympic athlete Marlon Devonish on our team, students develop not just their physical skills, but also a winning mindset. Our BISS Lions compete at a high level within the Shanghai Schools Sports network, through ACAMIS competitions for international schools across China and with FOBISIA for competitions across Asia.
Our indoor and outdoor sports facilities include two gymnasiums, a 25-metre swimming pool, a 20-metre training pool, a dance studio, a fitness suite, outdoor basketball courts, five tennis courts, athletic training facilities and an 11 a-side all-weather football field.
Our Pre-nursery class start by learning the skills of as many sports as possible, which develops their fine and gross motor skills. Our students in Upper primary and Secondary are encouraged to participate in our team sports through an inclusive approach. They learn the basic skills before developing more complex tactical play. Students develop their resilience, discover the meaning of sportsmanship and teamwork, and commit to a cause greater than themselves.
Learning music, dance and drama has wide-reaching benefits for students, providing them with the tools to think creatively, innovate and appreciate diverse cultures and backgrounds.
Performing Arts
The Juilliard-Nord Anglia Performing Arts Programme enriches learning experiences in Music, Drama and Dance. We’re regularly visited by Juilliard who host workshops for our students and parents and train our teachers through professional development sessions.
At BISS Puxi, we’re proud of our outstanding performing arts spaces – we even have our own movie theatre where our students can produce and present high-quality films. We also have a state-of-the-art media suite, and outstanding music and art departments.
Our specialist Performing Arts teachers are experts in their fields and inspire our students to go further in their learning and develop their talent and passion.
In Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Mathematics (STEAM), our aim is to develop teaching and learning in these subjects by connecting MIT innovation and culture in our school.
STEAM
Our collaboration with MIT for our STEAM programme provides some of the most memorable learning experiences. Our students work collaboratively across the curriculum through project-based-learning.
At BISS Puxi, we have two state of the art STEAM centres – one for Primary and one for Secondary. Here, our students develop important skills from problem solving, team working and how to innovate to critical thinking, while enhancing their technical skills.
Our regular STEAM collaboration days allow an in-depth exploration of different topics and areas. These challenges, set by MIT professors, allow our students to be fully immersed in different subjects and to explore problems from all angles.
We encourage our students to be internationally minded, to understand the different cultures and societies in which we live, and to be global citizens and leaders of the future.
Boston
Each year a selection of Nord Anglia students take part in a global challenge and can visit MIT and share their passion and knowledge of solving real world problems with like-minded students from across the world.
Mindfulness is embedded across our school curriculum. We host a series of wellbeing programmes and seminars throughout the year for both students and parents, teaching valuable skills such as time management and stress reduction. These abilities prove essential, both for study and life beyond education. Our pastoral and guidance programme incorporates wellbeing into our curriculum ensuring this is an area of focus for our students and teachers.
Through our work around the world in local impact programmes, we are developing an integrated social purpose curriculum to ensure that every student leaves our schools with the ability to be an active agent of change.
We will help your child find the best ways to look after their own wellbeing and develop resilience, so they have strong life skills to thrive.
Our child-centred campus, with its purpose-built learning spaces, is packed with cutting-edge equipment and technology that help bring your child’s learning to life. Visit our campus to see what makes us so special to families from all over the world.
CITIZENSHIP
We believe it's important that our students understand how they can make a positive difference to their communities as global citizens.
Locally, we do this through our many community projects with NGOs in Shanghai. Globally, our students engage in our social impact program with UNICEF, where they tackle some of world's biggest problems.
By actively taking part in these projects, students can develop a sense of social purpose that will strengthen their character for years to come.
