Shanghai - School Report Question and Answers

Services for gifted students who need academic challenge and students with learning difficulties:

B -. No special programs for "gifted", but the academics are very challenging without it. Everything seems to work at a level above the States and the kids are all self- or parent- motivated. The teachers will customize their lessons to some extent to suit the needs of the child. There are few kids with obvious learning or physical disabilities. Can't really speak to that program though. - Aug 2013


B. Good support for ESL students, especially at the elementary level. Lots of kids from Europe who didn't speak English upon arrival got good support from the school. They don't have elementary school counselors, but try to deal with learning disabilities on a case by case basis. Unfortunately, not any services for gifted students. - Jul 2010
