Description: Our beautiful academic campus is located in the People's Square District. Only a ten minute walk from the Bund, it is ideally located in the heart of Shanghai. (Right off Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street).

This is a charming section of the city characterized by leafy tree-lined streets, beautiful, old crumbling European architecture, and crowned by the chic shopping street Huai Hai Middle Road. The area offers many upscale boutiques, cafes, bars and shopping centers.

On the budget side you will discover the Huating Market, a bustling open air market where shoppers bargain hard with the vendors. The nostalgia of old Shanghai can be felt even more strongly by visiting the residence of Sun Yat-sen and his wife, Soong Qing Ling. Their home has been beautifully preserved and visitors can walk the grounds.

Our school is housed in a modern residential complex which provides a private garden, comfortable & modern classrooms and lounge areas.

Highlights: Shanghai is probably the most evocative city for an outsider in the whole of China.

Beijing may be more purely, mysteriously Chinese but only Shanghai offers such a heady brew of half-digested images and preconceptions.

For the second city of the worlds oldest surviving ancient civilization, Shanghai is surprisingly new. Literally On the Sea, Shanghai is a port city on the Huangpu River, where the Yangzi River empties into the East China Sea.
