Shanghai United International School Description

"Founded in the autumn of 2008, the Shanghai United International School Pudong Campus operates within the core philosophy of the Xiehe Education Group: "Integration of Eastern and Western cultures for harmonious development." Under this guidance, our school has created a vibrant campus atmosphere characterized by collaborative management by both Chinese and foreign experts, cooperative teaching by Chinese and foreign teachers, and active interaction among Chinese and foreign students. Through a diverse and complementary curriculum, we amalgamate the best educational practices from both Eastern and Western traditions, resulting in a multicultural, balanced, inclusive, and innovative campus culture.

Our school is committed to nurturing students who possess an international outlook for the 21st century. They are known for their solid academic foundations, exceptional bilingual capabilities, a deep appreciation for culture, strong problem-solving skills, a spirit of independent innovation, and a profound understanding of the importance of teamwork. Our students also exhibit a strong sense of social responsibility and a broad international perspective. They are willing to share their knowledge and experiences with others and actively contribute to society. The school's curriculum, characterized by "the "integration of Eastern and Western cultures," emphasizes the essence of experiential learning and practicality. It comprehensively enhances students' overall competencies, earning the affection of students and the recognition of society.

The SUIS Pudong EWU Curriculum is an innovative education system for primary and middle school students that supports diverse pathways to higher education. Building upon the foundation of national new curricula and standards, EWU integrates the best practices from both high-quality local and global educational resources accumulated over fifteen years of SUIS Pudong's operation. The curriculum aims to solidify students' concept-based knowledge and skill development across four major domains within a bilingual context: "Language and Culture," "Mathematics and Science," "Humanities and Society," and "Arts and Physical Education." Utilizing four core skills - "Project-Based Learning," "Digital Learning," "P4C (Philosophy for Children)," and " PAS (Purposeful Action and Service) " - as the main vehicles for implementation, it fosters effective learning behaviors and critical thinking habits, enhances self-awareness of life and mental and physical health, nurtures social development, and shapes emotions, attitudes, and values. The EWU curriculum offers students a broad and comprehensive compulsory education phase with rich teaching content and learning experiences. Through diverse teaching methods and multi-dimensional comprehensive assessments, it delivers personalized education, cultivates students with distinctive SUIS traits and virtues, and lays a solid foundation for their successful entry into diverse educational pathways and ultimately into top universities worldwide."
