The Design



Bordered by rivers on both sides of the school grounds, WISS offers a spacious campus spread over 16 acres, making it one of the physically largest campuses in Shanghai.


State-of-the-art buildings, boasting natural light and space through the use of garden atrium's, high ceilings and skylights, create a secure environment for students to learn. The landscaped grounds make use of courtyards, terraces and gardens to create a safe and stimulating play environment.


The campus has been designed by the Weimar Architects AG in Weimar, Germany. Weimar is the home of the Bauhaus University, which brought to life the most influential architectural movement of the 20th century.

Weimar has worked with the School Board to design an elegant multifunctional facility that serves the educational needs of students at every level.

Smaller by design, the school has been created to accommodate UNDER 1000 students:

  • Nursery-K 150 students
  • Grades 1-5 approximately 270 students
  • Grades 6-9 with approximately 240 students
  • Grades 10-13 with approximnately 260 students
