Xiehe Education, founded in 1993 in Shanghai, is a professional education organization that has experienced nearly 30 years of development. Growing during the advancement of China’s Reform & Opening-up period, Xiehe has witnessed the global development of contemporary China, particularly in Shanghai, and has become a pioneer and leader in the exploration of Chinese non-governmental K-12 education. Thus far, Xiehe has already founded more than 40 kindergartens and 10 schools, and one academy, with students from over 40 countries and regions around the world. Xiehe has also been invited to host a number of public kindergartens and schools in China. In addition to Shanghai, Xiehe Education successfully operates schools and kindergartens in Wuxi (Jiangsu Province), Xiamen (Fujian Province) and Hefei (Anhui Province). At present, Xiehe Education has grown into one of the most influential bilingual education organizations in China, recognized for the highest-quality education.
“Developing in Harmony, where East Meets West” is the core value of Xiehe Education. As an educational organization, the first to advocate and practice the concept of a Chinese-western integrated education in China, Xiehe has been aiming to achieve the individual and holistic development of students as well as to promote social innovation and progress ever since its establishment. By bringing together the essence of Eastern and Western cultures, high quality educational resources and the provision of a research-based, integrated, holistic education, Xiehe Education is committed to cultivating students to become qualified international citizens with global perspectives and Chinese roots, able to understand and engage with different ethnic and cultural backgrounds throughout the world. The concept of “Integration of Eastern and Western Cultures” is also fully reflected at all levels within Xiehe schools: co-leadership through Chinese and foreign experts, co-teaching by Chinese and foreign teachers, joint learning by Chinese and foreign students, and a rich blend of Eastern and Western cultures on all campuses.
Shanghai United International Schools offer diversified curricula for students and are committed to providing students with the most advanced, student-oriented, self-learning, and encouraging education of the highest-quality. A “dual-channel” path is available at the stages of primary and lower-secondary school education, which means that students can choose either overseas or domestic channels for future university applications; Xiehe students perform quite well in either. On the one hand, Xiehe schools strictly comply with National Curriculum Standards for Chinese Compulsory Education and adhere to the National Core Competencies of Student Development to ensure the comprehensive and healthy growth of Xiehe students. On the other hand, based on the national and local curriculums, Xiehe has developed various and distinctive curriculum resources of its own, fully embodying Xiehe’s educational philosophy of “East Meets West”; the curriculum is now a model of school-based-curriculum with both fusion and innovation, widely recognized in the education industry and warmly welcomed by students and parents.
Whether you are a student, parent or teacher, Xiehe Education looks forward to serving you!
