A sense of anticipation as students and staff start a new journey
Print Edition
As the 2018-19 new academic year commences for Shanghai Singapore International School, there is a tremendous sense of anticipation as students and teachers embark on a new learning journey with state-of-the-art facilities.
The recently completed aquatic center has a pool with six competitive lanes and a 200-seat spectator stand. The new facility also boasts dance and table tennis rooms with a gym, equipped with the latest fitness equipment, overlooking the pool. Golf has always been a sporting pillar at SSIS with students and teachers using the putting green and driving range to improve their skills. Further expansion of the program will include a golf simulator on campus and elite students who have reached the “top of the game” to have the opportunity to regularly visit Sun Island (Kunshan) and play golf competitively.
The Primary School will introduce an engaging interdisciplinary approach that integrates science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM). The new “maker space” facilities with state-of-the art 3D printers, Lego construction, digital labs and robotics, will complement the cleverly designed STEAM lab. It is intended to foster a culture of team work, collaboration and design thinking. The STEAM program will help students make connections across subject areas as they invent, analyze and explore concepts.
SSIS builds strong partnerships with the community by engaging them in the learning journey through events such as the International Family Bazaar, and International Friendship Day. The Parent Support Group lounge is in the foyer which is at the heart of the school. Our parents are involved in all areas of school life, providing feedback for school improvement. Through parent workshops, our counselling department, administrators and other professionals provide parents with insights on topics such as university matriculation, raising teenagers, how students learn and cyber safety.
