editor's note

aving lived in Shanghai for approaching ten years, I have seen the city, its land- scape, its people and its educational scene evolve dramatically in so many excit- ing ways. I arrived in China in 2009, looking for new and exciting opportunities along the way, found myself teaching and later writing curriculum. That experi- enceH opened a whole new world for me and it really catalysed my passion for education.

Having become a father, I now see education with more depth than before. I have been fortunate to use the wonder of WeChat groups to gain valuable parent insights. I can em- pathise with just how much thought goes into choosing the right school for your child, that is why I am extremely proud to put out this year’s School Directory – your one stop shop for all things school related.

Our 2019-20 School Directory will not only be available in print form but will be made available online for you to peruse all year-round. The Directory will help guide you through the maze of international schools, bilingual schools, preschools & kindergar- tens. You’ll be able to find curriculum information, tuition costs and a breakdown of each school you may potentially be interested in.

We have great insights from some wonderful international schools around Shanghai. (P30, 31) Emily Hays from Concordia International school talks about the importance of respect in the classroom. (P36,37) Harrow International School Shanghai explore the British Cur- riculum and the importance of A Levels. (P44,45) Shanghai American School’s Coordinat- ing Director for the M.U.N. Brady Riddle explains the benefits of the M.U.N.. (P54,55) We ex- plore the British International School Shanghai Puxi’s STEAM programme and how they encourage all pupils into their innovative programme. (P48,49) Shanghai Community International School’s Janette Haggith, the PYP Coordinator at the ECE campus explains how students take responsibility for their own learning. (P58,59) Co-Principal of Shanghai Regency Park Damien Hehir, gives his views on the importance of a strong curriculum at YCIS. (P86-87) We explore the wonder of reading at LUC and its importance for small children’s development.
