About Nord Anglia Education

Nord Anglia Education is the world’s leading premium schools organisation, with campuses located across 27 countries in the Americas, Europe, China, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Together, our 56 schools educate more than 51,000 students from kindergarten through to the end of secondary / high school. We are driven by one unifying philosophy: we are ambitious for our schools, students, teachers, staff and communities, and we inspire every child who attends a Nord Anglia Education school to achieve more than they ever imagined possible.

The British International School Shanghai, Puxi.

The British International School Shanghai, Puxi (BISS Puxi) is a truly international school with over 60 nationalities represented in the school community. We are a high achieving international school where the results have continued to improve year on year across every Key Stage. We are non-selective yet, in June 2018, 60% of our Year 11 students achieved 5+ A*/A grades. Our Year 13 IB Diploma students achieved an average of 36 points, with one pupil reaching the maximum score of 45 points. On average, our students score six points above the global average in their IB diploma, as well as being offered and accepting places at the world’s top 30 universities. These outstanding results come from outstanding teaching and learning at all ages from 2 to 18.  However, we are not complacent and strive for continual improvement through a collegiate and supportive environment, recognising staff and student as learners alike.

The school’s guiding philosophy is ‘Be Ambitious’ and for all of our school community to ‘Think more, achieve more, be more’.  This aligns with Nord Anglia’s own vision regarding an ambitious philosophy.  In realising this, the school has a clear and coherent development plan, focused on the 5 pillars of: academic excellence; internationalism; MIT; Juilliard; and sport. Development across the school is consistently aimed at enhancing these aspects of our work and performance. The school has expanded the breadth of its curriculum offer whilst simultaneously improving the quality and level of the outcomes that its students achieve.
