In the next edition of our “Greatness Starts With Attitude” series, we introduce Brandon Risenhoover and explore his approach to greatness.
Brandon, who now serves as the Secondary Deputy Principal, didn't start his career in education. In fact, he began in the business world, armed with a degree and a role in logistics. But as he navigated the corporate landscape, he felt a pull towards a different path. His love for history beckoned him, leading him back to the halls of academia to pursue a master's degree. This decision marked the beginning of his transition from the boardroom to the classroom, a move he has never regretted.

The Western International School of Shanghai (WISS) is renowned for its innovative and holistic approach to education. One of the unique traditions that sets WISS apart is its ceremonial graduations, which mark students' transition from one phase of their educational journey to the next. These ceremonies are not just about celebrating academic achievements; they are rites of passage that hold deep significance for students, parents, and the entire school community.

Nestled within the vibrant and bustling heart of Shanghai lies the Western International School of Shanghai (WISS) - a place where enchantment and learning converge to create magic every day. Today, we are delighted to share the inspiring story of Katherine Langford, a dedicated educator from Canada, who embodies our series theme, "Greatness Starts With Attitude."
Katherine's decision to join WISS was sparked by the enchanting atmosphere she experienced upon her first visit. The school's environment, resources, and learning spaces exuded a sense of magic that was irresistible. But the real magic, as Catherine discovered, begins each day with the interactions between the educators, parents, and students. It's in these moments that the school's ethos of sincerity and kindness truly shines.
The Western International School of Shanghai recently hosted a collaborative exhibition featuring students' impressive work in the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and Personal and Professional Skills (PPS) courses. These courses are integral components of the IB Diploma and IB Career-Related Programmes offered as part of the WISS Education.
In the next installment of our Greatness Starts With Attitude series, we connect with a proud WISS parent and international business leader, Michael Oviedo. Michael is from the United States and is the United States, and his two children have been part of the Western International School of Shanghai community for the past couple of years. His journey has been a winding path shaped by experiences, aspirations, and unexpected twists. From his early dreams of becoming a college professor to his current role as an industry leader in the collectibles and authentication industry, he has learned that greatness does indeed start with one’s attitude.
