Switchers Stories | Why These Families Chose NAIS Pudong

The choice of education can shape a child's future. We recently sat down with two families who transferred to NAIS Pudong to hear about their decision-making process, their adaptation journey, and the growth they've witnessed in their children. From personalised learning support and an authentic British educational environment to the nurturing of a critical thinking and an open-minded community - let's explore how NAIS Pudong empowers students to thrive in a globalised world.

Small Classes, Personalised Attention

‘The teachers at NAIS Pudong know every student’s name. It has a familial feeling here – that’s something truly special,’ shared one parent warmly.

With small class sizes, our educators build strong relationships with each student, identifying their strengths and areas for growth. Whether it’s extra academic support or emotional encouragement, we ensure no child is left behind while providing advanced learning for those that are ready. 

Immersive English, Global Education

“Shortly after Sarah joined, I could already see her English improving across the board. This probably has to do with most teachers being native English speakers - she's completely immersed in an authentic language environment," shared one parent.

As a British international school with full English immersion, we provide an authentic language environment where students don’t just learn English—they live it. In the classroom, students strengthen their language skills not only through academic subjects but also through group discussions, project presentations, and daily interactions, naturally developing a global mindset. Whether preparing for top universities abroad or future global careers, language becomes their competitive edge, not a barrier.

Critical Thinking, Unlimited Growth

‘As a mother, I can tell she's much happier now. And I start to to notice that she started to finish her homework by herself without being asked. That's a big improvement. Now she has time to do things which she's really into.’ A mom said.

At NAIS Pudong, we foster independent thinking over just memorisation Through inquiry-based learning, interdisciplinary projects, and classroom debates, students develop the ability to analyze information, articulate perspectives, and solve problems. These essential competencies not only enhance academic achievement but also equip them with lasting confidence and creativity to navigate our complex world.

A Supportive Community, Holistic Development

Beyond academics, parents unanimously highlight how the school's inclusive environment positively shapes their children's character.

At NAIS Pudong, every child is encouraged to step out of their comfort zone and discover their potential.  We are committed to students' holistic development, offering a wide range of after school activities, our unique Communities system, and diverse social opportunities. These enable children to explore their interests, forge lasting friendships, and grow into confident, creative, and considerate individuals within our nurturing environment.

Every child’s journey is unique. If you’re looking for a school that offers personalised attention, authentic British education, and a global perspective, NAIS Pudong could be the perfect fit.  Watch ourswitchers’ stories, and contact our admissions team to learn more!
