Sports at WISS are not simply seen as extracurricular activities but as integral components of a comprehensive education. Participation in sports teaches students the importance of physical fitness, teamwork, resilience, and sportsmanship. Whether through team sports or individual pursuits, students learn to set goals, overcome challenges, and engage in healthy competition. Sports also promote inclusivity, fostering friendships and building a sense of camaraderie among students from diverse backgrounds.
The fourth pillar of a WISS education is community service, which encourages students to give back and positively impact the world around them. Sports can be a powerful tool for community engagement and service. Through volunteering, organizing sports events for underprivileged communities, or coaching younger students, WISS students learn the value of empathy, compassion, and leadership while fostering a sense of social responsibility.

As a learning community, the Western International School of Shanghai shares the responsibility to help students achieve their academic goals, such as gaining their high school diploma or receiving those anticipated offer letters from top universities.
Ultimately, we aim to prepare students for life after WISS—for life outside of the classroom and experiences in the real world. The approaches to learning cultivated at WISS include social skills, critical thinking skills, communication skills, research skills, and self-management skills.These skills are relevant far beyond the confines of the IB Diploma or Career-Related Programmes and WISS itself. The time spent at school on these activities is just as crucial as the knowledge of mathematical equations and chemical reactions.
