Principal & Parental Testimonials
"The tone of the school is set by Mr. Farrell having his office by the main door, with parents welcome to drop in as they pass."
Best of British Education in an International Environment
"As a parent, you want the very best for your child's education. At Britannica International School, Shanghai, we work in partnership with our parents to achieve this. "Located in the heart of the city, we successfully blend the highest quality, rigorous British education through the English National Curriculum, with an international learning environment that is positive, constructive and a happy place for your child to spend their day. "Students aged 2 to 18 come to Britannica for our strong British roots and truly personalized approach to learning, which enable your child to achieve the very best that they are capable of at IGCSE and A-Level. "Our commitment to maintaining a low teacher to student ratio, with small class sizes, means we have the time to identify, celebrate and develop excellence in every child. "We are the only British-owned and managed school in the city, and a fully accredited school by both COBIS and CIS. "At Britannica Shanghai, we combine high academic standards with excellent pastoral care to help nurture our students into becoming the global citizens and leaders of tomorrow."
On the Warm Environment & Community Feel
"We arrived in Shanghai in 2015, and when we visited Britannica it was love at first sight for the warm environment, the great facilities and the welcoming teachers we met," says parent Gaia. "We also liked the relatively small size of the school – it helps getting to know each other and being familiar with other parents, the teachers and the leadership team. The voice of the parents at Britannica is always heard. "With the help of Friends of Britannica – the parents association – the school also organizes events to build our sense of community."
"While the teaching standards at Britannica are very high, what impresses me most is the 'caring' feeling I have from the teachers. "Different principals and different schools have different styles, and the present Britannica principal has created an atmosphere and image of a 'caring school,' which makes you and your kid feel looked after and respected. "My daughter is only in Year 3 and, at this age, being in a friendly and caring school campus can help build her confidence and 'sunshine' character, which will benefit her future life."
"The relationships between families and the school are vital to the success of our students. I encourage parents to become involved in every way possible. The collaboration and support teachers and parents are able to give each other is invaluable."
On Teacher Quality & Retention
"In my opinion, the quality of the teachers is the strength of Britannica," says Gaia. "They are all great professionals and we like their dedication in developing each child's potential. My children love them!"
On the Language Program
"The Language Program is amazing because it helps to keep our mother language alive without having private tutoring at home," says Gaia. "Thanks to this program my children, for which English is now the first language, are maintaining an excellent level of spoken and written Italian."
After School Activities
"The after school activities that my daughter has done give a good idea of the range of options offered: badminton, table tennis, drama, orchestra, IT games, manga drawing, choir, film club, logic games – and there are plenty more options!"
"In seven years my children have experienced so many After School Activities, I can't remember them all! "Highlights include ultimate frisbee and dodgeball for my son, and Britannica Voices, swimming and Drama Club for my daughter. "The level is very good, and thanks to the wide variety on offer my children are able to have many different experiences and choose what they like."
Final Thoughts
"We can thoroughly recommend the school: Excellent teaching staff; friendly atmosphere; impressive range of language classes; students encouraged to achieve best possible results; regular, but reasonable, testing; concern for students wellbeing; good balance of nationalities; and equal number of boys and girls."
"Britannica offers 'deep' knowledge education to kids from a young age, and this satisfies us parents of Asian origin who want our kids to learn more in school as well as being happy. "Yet, I feel it is better than the Chinese school curriculum, as there is a wide range of discussion between the teacher and the pupils in class; I am happy to see my daughter has a wide range of knowledge on subjects that interest her, instead of reciting manual book knowledge as kids in Chinese school do. "Britannica also gives us a sense of 'being cared for,' from the principal to the teachers of all subjects."
"I couldn't recommend Britannica more. In my opinion it is the best place to enjoy a very high level education in a really inclusive environment where everyone feels appreciated, encouraged and welcome."
