Top of the Hurun rankings for the whole of china and with excellent facilities at all 3 campuses but particularly in the high school based in the suburbs of Songjiang. It does select students but still has very good results
Pao School is a pioneering boarding school with an international curriculum: it is the most Chinese international school and the most international Chinese school. In addition to academic rigor, its excellence in sports, arts, and other extracurricular programs is also phenomenal. Having spent both my middle school and high school years here, I believe Pao School has changed my life for the better.
