Adcote School Shanghai , with roots in Britain and firmly planted in China, stands tall in Songjiang, the very cradle of Shanghai. It thrives on the Shanghai-style culture, which embraces diversity, strives for excellence, is enlightened and wise, as well as generous and modest—this serves as the fertile ground for integrating the strengths of both Eastern and Western education.
While ensuring a solid foundation is the strength of Chinese education, fostering individuality is the essence of Western education. It is Adcote School's mission to merge these strengths and essences, nurturing students with the qualities of inheritance, innovation, independence, and leadership.
As a new school, many have inquired about the meaning of "Adcote".
—It is the phonetic transliteration of Adcote School UK, inherently devoid of meaning, but the characteristics and endowments of Adcote School Shanghai enrich it with profound cultural connotations: To seek good from virtue, to seek truth from science and to seek beauty from expertise. These embody the essential pursuits of education: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty!
Adcote School Shanghai belongs to every student, teacher, and parent. We are not only the inheritors of a century-old prestigious British school but also the witnesses, pioneers, and builders of China's prestigious schools for the next hundred years.
Now is the best time to set sail.
With hearts towards the sunshine, we break through waves and sing songs of voyage!
Liam Li, Principal of Adcote School (China)
Kathleen Donovan, Headmistress of Adcote School Shanghai
We adhere to the belief that "teachers are the best parents," strict yet disciplined, loving yet wise. We see and study every student, integrate international curricula locally and implement them school-specifically, fostering a solid foundation, nurturing individuality, unlocking potential, and ensuring comprehensive development.
The essence of education lies in guiding the growth of individuals. The original intention of education is to allow each student to unleash their full potential on their own path to success, shining brightly on their own stage. Students' growth and achievements cannot be solely measured by "total scores" and "average scores." No parent wants their child to be a mere replica.
Our educational services do not cater; they resemble medical services, requiring not only superb skills but also the compassion of a parent. Only with skilled and benevolent hearts can we provide professional and high-quality services. All our administrative staff and teachers should possess a "customer service" mindset, thinking from the perspectives of students and parents, ensuring "everything can be communicated and everything receives a response."
Every child who enters Adcote will be attentively discovered by the teachers. I hope that the students in this school can unfold their natural dispositions, unlock their potential, and achieve comprehensive individual development. I also hope that as our students venture out into the world, they will uphold the qualities of Adcote, continue the cultural heritage of China, and become culturally refined, socially responsible, and free-spirited Chinese individuals who walk confidently in the world.
