Mrs. Wallace, Principal of NAIS Pudong said ‘I am immensely proud of the academic achievements of the IB graduating class of 2016. As a non-selective school, these results are a testament of, not only the hard work of the students, but the professionalism and dedication of the teaching and learning support staff who work to ensure the ambitions of each and every one of the our students are fully realised’.

The International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) is on the cutting edge of educational research and as a result has developed a highly respected diploma programme for students aged 16 -19. It equips the modern student with a broad range of thinking, research, self-management, communication and social skills. At NAIS Pudong, we embrace the philosophical and pedagogical principles that underpin the IB Diploma Programme. Our highly regarded teachers, many of whom are also IB examiners, provide our students with a transformative concurrent learning experience. Our students leave NAIS Pudong balanced and equipped with the academic and life-skills that place them at a distinct advantage at university and beyond.

At Nord Anglia International School we pride ourselves on providing opportunities for our students to enrich and extend their engagement with music. This week we were delighted to welcome Mr Ivan Bošnjak and Mr Željko Kertez, professional brass musicians to our school. They worked with our students and provided them with hands on learning experiences.

He appeared as soloist with orchestra and gave master classes for trombone and low brass on several occasions in Japan in 2010, 2012 and 2016 with Tokai Sagami High School Wind Orchestra and Tsuruoka Higashii Wind Band. Željko also holds the position at the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb. He is also active as a soloist and he appeared with the Tokai Sagami Wind Orchestra in Yokohama in 2013, where he performed the Artiunian Tuba Concerto with great success.
