Pao School's 10,000 square meter Middle School campus launched in September 2017. Situated in the Changning District just west of downtown Shanghai, it is an ideal learning environment for non-boarding students thanks to its central location and convenient subway access (Metro Line 10).
The Middle School campus has art classrooms and a ceramics studio with a kiln. These spaces can accommodate a wide range of activities including drawing, painting, sculpture, and ceramics.
We're very excited about the campus master plan. While the design of the first phase may look simple, it is thoughtfully designed, and the campus benefits from abundant greenery. Under the guidance of Anna Pao Sohmen, founder of YK Pao School, the design is efficient, bright and full of uplifting energy. In the future, the Middle School campus will be home to state-of-the art facilities, including a library, STEM center, performing arts center and indoor stadium. We aim to build a campus for the future - a learning environment that is optimal for our Middle School students.
