NAIS Pudong Scholarships
Scholarship applications are now open.
Our recent journey to Guizhou was an inspiring blend of cultural exchange, sustainable learning, and community impact, deeply aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The donations of clothing and toys from our school community were warmly received by the people of Dadai and Huanggang villages. These contributions directly supported SDG 1: No Poverty and SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities, helping to address local needs. The trip also highlighted SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, as we witnessed the communities’ resourcefulness and the significance of traditional crafts to their livelihoods.
A memorable highlight of the trip was the bonfire celebration in the drum tower of one of the five families. Students and villagers sang and danced together around the fire pit, while the family’s traditional water buffalo stood as a powerful symbol of their enduring agricultural heritage. This event beautifully reflected SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, showcasing the importance of preserving cultural traditions in a modern context.
Students also had the opportunity to learn about the region’s sustainable rice paddy ecosystem, a practical demonstration of SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. In this system, fish consume bacteria, ducks naturally control pests while their droppings fertilise the soil, creating a harmonious, chemical-free cycle. This innovative method supports SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being and contributes to SDG 2: Zero Hunger by fostering healthier food systems.
The experience of creating batiks with local artisans further connected us to SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, as students explored the importance of preserving traditional industries through sustainable practices.
This trip exemplified SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, as our school collaborated with WildChina and local communities to achieve meaningful outcomes. It reinforced the value of working together to build a more equitable, sustainable future, while leaving students with unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation of global citizenship.
Thank you to everyone who supported this incredible journey—it was a celebration of culture, community, and the shared responsibility of caring for our world.
The thrill of competition, the roar of the crowd, and the spirit of international camaraderie—our U11 athletes recently returned from the Nord Anglia International Schools Multi-Sports Event in Chengdu, and what an adventure it was!
This year’s senior drama production was not just a show — it was an experience. As parents and guests arrived at NAIS Pudong, they weren’t ushered into a theatre right away. Instead, they stepped into a 1920s speakeasy, complete with vintage jazz, decorations, and guests mingling in costume. It was the perfect prelude to what would become one of the most immersive performances we’ve ever staged.
Last Sunday, NAIS Pudong had a Spring Fling filled with laughter and joy! International families from Shanghai gathered on campus and had a wonderful family day with their children and parents on a sunny spring day.
