Buses

Many families select Britannica International School, Shanghai with the knowledge and confidence that being so centrally located, their children will spend a minimum amount of time travelling to school. For young children especially, time spent on a lengthy bus journey is wasted, as well as frustrating. With many other international schools located on the outskirts of the city, parents are often having to compromise on the location of their accommodation for a shorter journey for their child to school each day. For pupils at Britannica, parents can be centrally located downtown, where the best accommodation and best social life can be found, while still sending their child to a top international school.

Our comprehensive bus service is continually being adapted to meet the needs of new families joining the school. Routes are changed and new buses are continually being added to ensure maximum efficiency and minimum journey time.

All our buses are supervised by a bus monitor, who is also a Teaching Assistant in the school. Fluent in Mandarin and English, our bus monitors have no problem communicating effectively with the students, their parents or their ayis. Close supervision and discipline of children is maintained on the buses so that you can be reassured that your child's journey to and from school is safe and a happy one for all. All buses meet the tight regulations set by the local authorities.
