caring community
The Western International School of Shanghai is not just a home for students and staff, but for the entire family.
WISS Parents
Moving to a new city is never easy, but at WISS we have a community of caring, welcoming, and involved parents ready to welcome new families with open arms. The Western International School of Shanghai’s location in the suburbs of Shanghai makes living in Shanghai with kids easier!
Current WISS parents have strong ties to the entire Shanghai expat community and are able to help new Shanghai expat families feel at home when moving to Shanghai. We recognize that a good international school should serve as a center for the expat community and for many expats in Shanghai, WISS does serve as a home away from home. Volunteering at the school is a great way to integrate into both the WISS community and the Shanghai community.

Parents Association
The PA is an extension of WISS that aims to support and implement WISS Mission and Core Values to the greater community. As a caring community, we believe that outreach to new and current families is essential to embracing the WISS Mission and Vision. The Parents Association is committed to organizing activities and events, establishing a constructive dialogue and feedback with the school administrators, and creating a warm and caring community.
For more information about the Parent Association at WISS please e-mail the WISS Community Liaison, Allie Lo, alo@wiss.cn.There are many opportunities as parents to get involved in our school community through our PA, read more about the volunteer teams below. We look forward to having you join us!
