Neuroscientific research shows that 90% of brain development happens between birth and age five, a critical window for shaping a child’s future. During this time, sensory experiences, social interactions, and cognitive stimulation lay the foundation for learning, emotional regulation, and personality development. With this in mind, we foster a “Teach-Nurture-Care” early education system, where guided, play-based learning and a safe, nurturing environment help every child thrive.

This very simple question can be very difficult to answer. Indeed, it is the basis of much academic work and there are many eminent theorists in this field, but the most important thing for us is that by answering this question we can understand the basis of great teaching.

At NAIS Pudong, we are proud of having a unique ethos and approach when dealing with languages. We are rich in diversity and want to experience the celebration of different cultures in an environment where the values of global citizenship are promoted and developed within our students.

Supporting children from various backgrounds as all international schools do, creates a range of needs in the students that walk through our doors. Most of the children at NAIS Pudong are what we call EAL learners to some degree or another but what does EAL mean?

Learning outside the classroom supports the development of healthy and active lifestyles by offering children opportunities for physical activity, freedom and movement, and promoting a sense of well-being.

The concept of wellbeing is one which is not new in education nor new in societal mindset. However, what is new is the realisation of the importance it really holds in our capacity to flourish both personally and professionally. Students have always faced challenges whether due to academic or social pressure, yet today these challenges of growing up are combined with life in the 21st Century. Our thirst for speedy knowledge, the interconnectedness of social media and the manipulative nature of news media all means that student wellbeing is being tested to new levels. All schools will prioritise wellbeing, mental health and mindfulness but the aim of NAIS Pudong is to equip our students with the tools they need to cope with life’s challenges- to become independent, self-aware adults and global citizens.
