SCIS: AN IB WORLD SCHOOL
Shanghai Community International School (SCIS) is one of the first international schools
in Shanghai to become fully authorized as an International Baccalaureate (IB) Continuum
World School, a world class academic program aimed at rigorous critical thinking and global
citizenship. This accreditation extends across all SCIS Campuses, including Hongqiao and
Pudong, providing a seamless program for students aged 2-18, and comprised of the Primary
Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP).
(Nursery to Grade 5)
Primary Year Programme (PYP) prepares students to become
active, caring, lifelong learners who demonstrate respect for themselves and
others and have the capacity to participate in the world around them. It
focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both within
and beyond the classroom. (Age 2-10)
(Grade 6 to Grade 10)
Middle Year Programme (MYP) is a challenging framework
that encourages students to make practical connections between their
studies and the real world. The MYP is a five-year programme, which
can be implemented in a partnership between schools. Students who
complete the MYP are well-prepared to undertake the IB Diploma
Programme (DP). (Age 11-15)
(Grade 11 and Grade 12)
Diploma Programme (DP)
is designed as an academically challenging and balanced program of
education with final examinations that prepares students for success at
