ALL ABOUT

OUR SCHOOL

For over 60 years, Shanghai Linstitute School has maintained a reputation for high academic achievement. Though each of our four schools features its own personality and cognitive-level program, we continue to operate as one cohesive family – showcased throughout the school year by several whole-academy activities that brings together students, family members, and staff from all of our programs. At SHA, students are able to develop from age 2 to college-ready young adults.

Another major aspect of Shanghai Linstitute School that bonds all four schools together is our overall philosophy. We focus on guiding and supporting students in their academic, social, and character growth. And we do this primarily with our cross-curricular, project-based approach that aims for maximum student (and staff) engagement so that students “learn by doing.”
 
Students who have purpose and the opportunity to actively pursue that purpose thrive in their learning. Please browse our website to see how this approach works in each school.

Please come visit us to experience for yourself the family environment and active learning that make SHA a welcoming, warm, fun, energetic, exciting, and excellent place to be!

Our Mission

Shanghai Linstitute School strives to provide a Christ Centered atmosphere that enables students to become socially engaged, effective communicators, and critical thinkers in a global setting.

Our Vision

We envision a world in which the quality education students receive at Shanghai Linstitute School prepares them to be well-rounded citizens with a biblical worldview who will be successful leaders in their respective communities.
