WISS Students Mark Meaningful Milestones
As a top 2% IB school globally, WISS showed this semester that great results come from helping every student find their voice.

NAIS Pudong's 2026 MIT Challenge
AI can generate answers. But can it imagine what doesn’t yet exist?
Creativity isn’t about finding the right answer. It’s about exploring possibilities, testing ideas, learning from failure, and trying again.
Through Nord Anglia International School Shanghai, Pudong's collaboration with MIT, students are challenged to solve real-world problems that don’t come with a ready-made solution.
This year’s objective was simple yet powerful: demonstrate how teamwork can achieve what individuals cannot accomplish alone.
Sarah H., above, one of NAIS Pudong's 2026 MIT Challenge winners, reflected on the experience:
"There wasn't one correct answer. We had to keep changing our ideas and learning from what didn't work."
In an AI-driven world, the ability to imagine, create, and innovate will matter more than ever.
That is why learners must be challenged to aim high—and given the right opportunities, like the MIT Challenge, to think creatively, solve boldly, and bring original ideas to life.
AI can generate. But young people still need to imagine. And that is where real learning lies.
Concordia Students Raise Over ¥22,000 for CWEF at Phoenix Fair

Students designed, marketed, and sold their own products—with all profits directed to CWEF’s work supporting rural children in need across China.
The Phoenix Fair is one expression of a service partnership between Concordia and CWEF that spans more than 20 years, during which Concordia students have taught, built, and volunteered alongside communities in Yunnan Province and beyond.
