Teach at Shanghai Singapore International School in China

Founded and invested by the Prime Group International. With the official approval from the Ministry of Education, PRC, Shanghai Singapore International School (SSIS) was officially opened on 3rd September 1996. SSIS provides a continuous K-12 academic journey to expatriate children from two to 18 years old in Shanghai.

Over the last 20 years, SSIS has grown – from 18 students and nine teachers – to a school with more than 1,200 students, hundreds of teachers and supporting staff, and modern facilities. We are fortunate to have had a great team of educators over the years and a reliable team of operations and administrative staff providing the most valuable support. I am most grateful to all the parents who have entrusted their children’s education to SSIS. The school started from personal necessity and is now well into its mission and commitment to providing top-class education to the community.

Our curriculum draws from world-recognized international programs, which include the Singapore Curriculum, IGCSE, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. These are weaved into a powerful bilingual education model – truly one-of-its-kind in China. We focus on inquiry-based learning, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving in a rigorous learning environment. This prepares SSIS students for the challenges of the modern integrated world.

SSIS believes in the holistic development of a resourceful, confident, and independent learner within a caring and nurturing environment to become a global citizen.

Our Vision:

The realization of a lifelong learner with strength of character and love of humanity.

Our Mission:

We are committed to developing in our students a passion for life and a love for learning through a holistic and well-balanced education.
