We are delighted to announce that Britannica International Shanghai has successfully achieved re-accreditation from COBIS (the Council of British International Schools). This prestigious recognition follows our recent inspection by BSO (British Schools Overseas) in March 2025 and affirms our unwavering commitment to maintaining high standards in education.
Achieving and retaining our COBIS Accredited Member status is not just a badge of honour; it is a testament to the dedication of our entire school community. As the first international school in Shanghai to receive this distinguished accreditation, we have consistently demonstrated our commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in all aspects of education.
What COBIS Accreditation Means for Our Students and Families
For our students and families, the importance of COBIS accreditation cannot be overstated. This quality assurance serves as a guarantee that we adhere to the highest educational standards, delivering an exceptional learning environment that nurtures academic achievement and personal development. Parents can feel confident knowing their children are receiving an education that is recognised internationally and aligned with the best practices in British education.
With COBIS accreditation, our students benefit from enhanced curricular opportunities, access to a wide range of resources, and teaching from dedicated professionals who are committed to fostering a love of learning. This accreditation not only validates our existing efforts but also serves as a springboard for future enhancements, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of educational excellence.
A Commitment to Continuous Improvement
At Britannica International Shanghai, we believe that re-accreditation is a motivation to push forward and innovate continually. We recognise that education is an ever-evolving landscape, and our re-accreditation reinforces our dedication to offering an outstanding educational experience.
We are committed to using the insights gained from the COBIS evaluation to further improve our practices, enhance our curriculum, and expand our extracurricular offerings. By striving for excellence, we aim to equip our students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in an increasingly competitive world.
