Why mastering English early matters - and how the right support speeds progress

We are incredibly proud to share that our school has been shortlisted as a "Finalist for the Staff Development and Wellbeing Award" at the prestigious "British Chamber Awards 2026", after winning this award last year.

We are absolutely thrilled to share some wonderful news! NAIS Pudong student Langlang (Yanze) recently participated in the British Astronomy and Astrophysics Olympiad (BAAO) Junior Challenge, a national UK competition aimed at students in Years 8–10, and he achieved a Global Silver Award!

At Nord Anglia Education, we believe the best way to prepare students for the future is to connect them with the minds shaping it. That’s why we’ve partnered with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - one of the world’s most pioneering universities - to bring a spirit of innovation, experimentation, and creativity into every Nord Anglia classroom.

On January 8-9, 2026, six incredible school bands from across China rocked the stage at the Nord Anglia China Regional Battle of the Bands Festival in Shanghai! The participating schools included British School of Nanjing, NACIS Shanghai, NAS Jiaxing, NAS Suzhou, NAS Beijing, and NAIS Pudong.

We are proud to share an important milestone in the journey of Nord Anglia International School Shanghai, Pudong. NAIS Pudong has been officially accredited by NEASC, the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.

On Thursday 5 December, our classrooms were once again filled with excited families as we hosted our Term 1 Showcase. This much-loved event invited parents into school to learn more about their child’s progress and to experience the vibrant learning taking place across Early Years, Primary and, for the first time, Secondary. 

Returning to Rugby School Thailand for a second consecutive year, our Tigers delivered a tournament defined by resilience, growth and belief, finishing with three hard-earned victories against strong international competition.

A proud and uplifting end to Term 1, our first Principal’s Award Assembly celebrated students from Year 1 to Year 13 who truly embodied our value of Confident.

Our students travelled to Dadai and Huanggang Villages in Congjiang County, Guizhou, to take part in a meaningful Social Impact service experience focused on community connection, cultural learning, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In an education system that often directs attention towards the highest achievers and those who need the most support, the learners in the middle can sometimes be overlooked – not intentionally, but simply because they seem to be managing well.
