WORLD OF WISS

Education at the Western International School of Shanghai offers a holistic, student-centered approach to learning to expand conceptual understandings that will transfer across subjects and beyond the classroom.


Learning also extends beyond school hours as students participate in After school Activity programs that encourage learners to invest their time in personal development that help expand their horizons and interests.The WISS After-School Activity Program offers more than an after school pastime. The program is designed to support our offer of a balanced curriculum that encourages students to explore their passions, develop their strengths, and acquire new skills.These are elements through which we nurture lifelong learners.


To do so, WISS offers an extensive range of Co-Curricular Activities that consist of over 50 engaging activities, programs, and clubs tailored to the needs of our diverse student community. The WISS ASA Program encompasses many areas that focus on student growth and development. In the words of Tony Anderson, Director of Athletics and Activities at WISS, “Through our WISS Tigers After School Activities Program, we offer a wide variety of options to all of our students, from Early Years, thru Primary and Secondary. From Rock Climbing to Robotics, our students can always find something of interest to them”.


By participating in ASAs, students reinforce what they learn in the classroom, encourage skills development, and build self-esteem, key attributes of IB learners. There’s something to delight the interests of every student at any age. The activities and clubs offered at WISS range from sports, language learning, technology, music, robotics, and art, amongst many others. Click here to download the After School Activity Brochure.

WISS CHESS CLUB (Grades 6-10)


Students will be engaged in match observation, practice, and competition with students from different grades. Strategy is involved in the process together with spatial relationships, planning, ethics, and reason. It is also an effective tool for cognitive development.


CSU 360 ̊ SWIMMING (PRE-K / KG)


Swimming is not only good for a child's health; it is a skill that could ultimately save their lives. It is vital that every child can learn to swim and gain core knowledge of water safety. With every new stroke a child learns, they will develop self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment. Learning to swim at a young age can reduce a child's fear of water and boost self-esteem. Our coaches make this experience fun and enjoyable for the students while teaching them a vital life skill.


Choosing the suitable Afterschool Activity is essential for the continued development of children and young learners. If you want to know more about the wide range of Afterschool Activities offered at WISS, clickhere!    (link to the brochure)
