Highlights from New Student Orientation Day at Britannica

Today we were thrilled to welcome a record number of new students to Britannica International School, Shanghai. Our new student orientation day aims to equip students with a basic understanding of the British curriculum, allow them to experience the wide range of facilities on campus and meet their subject teachers.

Students were given a tour of the school, introduced to their teachers and classmates, and experienced a series of taster lessons from our UK qualified teaching staff.

Throughout the day we interviewed a selection of new parents and asked them why they chose Britannica International School, Shanghai, to deliver the Best of British Education for their children.
