The opportunities for exploration and learning within the Shanghai community are endless. Shanghai has beautiful parks, engaging museums, cultural tours, and historical sights. Shanghai has a lot to offer kids of all ages, and even our youngest students enjoy day trips in Shanghai. We believe learning should extend beyond the Western International School of Shanghai campus.

China destinations offer limitless chances for exploration and learning. The Western International School of Shanghai is located in Shanghai, but our education of China’s history and culture extends over this vast country. Our students take China educational tours and China adventure tours starting in Secondary through our signature Explore China program. There are various opportunities at WISS to explore the dynamic and historical country our students live in, China. We have taken many trips around China through our athletic programs and after-school activities. Our swim team attends competitions around China, including a swim meet at Nanjing International School in the fall and the Beijing International School swim meet in spring. Our rock climbing club has attended rock climbing and ice climbing trips in Beijing, Lianan, Getu, and Yangshuo. Additionally, our Secondary students all partake in the annual Explore China Trip.
Over one week each year, Secondary students embark on exciting and educational trips around China. Each grade goes to a different location, allowing students to see many unique places in China during their time at the Western International School of Shanghai. WISS works with travel groups that build an enjoyable but beneficial educational component into the trips. Aside from learning more about our host country, students grow as individuals and build stronger bonds with their peers as they embark on these new experiences together. Explore China destinations of the past include: Beijing, Yunnan, Anhui, Inner Mongolia, Sichuan, Chengdu, and many more.

Global Citizens TRIPS
Global Citizens TRIPS
As an international school, the Western International School of Shanghai believes that meaningful and educational trips abroad are essential for our students. Our international field trip policy is aligned with our beliefs as an IB school to help our students become risk-takers and international-minded citizens. Our WISS students have traveled to destinations such as South Africa, Thailand, and Cambodia to expand students horizons and global-mindedness. WISS students have numerous opportunities for international travel through our Distinguishing Programs (Stoke City FC Academy, GAIL, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, and ISTA) and Athletic Teams (Swim Team). One of WISS's most exciting international trips is the annual Philippines diving trip.

Philippines Diving Trip
Philippines Diving Trip
The Philippines dive trip is optional for students from Grades 9-11. There is room on the trip for anyone interested in diving within those grades, whether they have already qualified or never dived before. The trip aims to introduce students to diving and allow them to gain their Open Water or Advanced Certification in a safe (and beautiful) environment. In addition to the qualification and diving, there is an environmental aspect as all participants not only learn about the impact of pollution and weather and climate change on the ocean and its inhabitants, but they also actively participate in a coral nursery to promote the growth of new colonies. The students partake in numerous adventurous and environmental activities, including Open Water Training, Advanced Dive Training (night dive, deep dive, navigation, search and recovery, perfect buoyancy), coral planting, additional service tasks, recreational diving, and a day trip to a Tarsier sanctuary. This trip aligns with the IB learner philosophy and encourages students to be knowledgeable, principled, inquiring, caring, and balanced risk-takers. It is quite something to see them go from feeling discomfort and disorientation breathing underwater in the pool for the first time to competently and confidently diving in the ocean with all the species on show!
