Shanghai Singapore International School Founded in 1996, the Shanghai Singapore International School (SSIS) aims to develop each student into a ready and responsible global citizen, with a strong sense of mission, talents and strengths of character, preparing them for any possible challenges in the later stages of their lives. With rapid development in the past 16 years, SSIS is now one of the most qualified and influential international schools in Shanghai. A balanced and unique curriculum, in line with the bilingual education policies of Singapore, is offered to all expatriate students from ages 2 to 18. SSIS is also the first international school in Shanghai to be authorised by the International Baccalaureate (IB) to implement both the IB Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) and IB Diploma Programme (IB DP). In the Academic Year 2012/2013, SSIS introduces the 2-year International General Certificate of Secondary Education (iGCSE) to students in Grade 9 and the Strategies for English Language Learning and Reading (STELLAR) programme to Grades 1 and 2 students. |
