Shanghai Community International School was established in 1996 as one of the first international schools in Shanghai. What started out as a single campus, in the heart of the Changning district of the city, with 7 teachers and less than 50 students, has since grown to include over 1,800 students studying at one of three campuses. Over 25 years ago, we recognized that Shanghai needed a truly international school – a school that focuses on developing the whole child in a supportive and nurturing environment. One that celebrates the spirit of a community-centered and truly internationally minded education. SCIS was founded to serve that purpose.
