One of the greatest concerns for families relocating is finding quality education for their children. Most, however, should find living in Shanghai offers great benefits, giving children rare and valuable exposure to different influences and societies.


Most parents coming to Shanghai have two major educational concerns:

  • Is there an adequate educational program available for my children in Shanghai? This concern is generally eliminated once parents have examined the schooling available.
  • Will the schooling match the requirements of my home country’s educational system? This concern is generally diminished after the student has been in the school for a period of time.


Shanghai’s academic standards are generally high, with a good range of international schools to choose from. One of the primary benefits of an international school education is that children will fnd themselves in smaller classes and a more multicultural environment than they may be used to back home, fostering tolerance and open-mindedness. Since most expat families stay in the city for 1-3 years, students are always coming and going, meaning there should be no worries about being the ”new kid.”


Whichever school you choose, be aware that most have waiting lists, and as soon as the decision is made to relocate, reserving a place should be a top priority. In terms of extra-curricular activities, courses in traditional Chinese activities, such as kung fu, are widely available and especially designed for children, as well as more conventional Western activities such as sports teams, ballet classes and music.
