Opening its doors in 2006, The Western International School of Shanghai (WISS) was founded with a vision to nurture globally minded students. This vision emerged from the Chinese educational philosophy of De (heart), Zhi (mind), and Ti (body), aiming to equip students with the ability to understand others, express empathy, and work towards conflict reduction.

WISS made the bold decision to become the first and, as of today, only four programme International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) World School in China. In doing so, the founders aligned the WISS belief in the importance of a balanced education on the development of the whole child through the internationally recognized IB continuum of learning.
