We are and will be a school where our strong British tradition and Chinese heart drives us to be the model of bilingual holistic education. As an international school rooted in China, we blend eastern and western pedagogies to promote an immersion model of education where teaching and learning develops critical thinking and intercultural understanding and respect.
We will be a school where creativity, innovation, and a desire to challenge ourselves helps our students become critically engaged, internationally minded citizens dedicated to solving problems and are able to pursue more fluid and flexible career pathways, whilst collaboratively creating change.
In a mutually supportive environment, Lucton School Shanghai will bring the best out of every individual Luctonian ensuring they develop as a whole person, fulfill their potential and help lead a shared future built on personal, societal and global well-being.
We are rigorous in our approach to education and our founding students have achieved exceptional academic success, resulting in offers from the world’s best universities. However, our aim is not merely to facilitate excellent academic results on behalf of our students but also to develop their character so they are confident to fully partake in the life of their chosen universities and, with a spirit of adventure, be ready to explore and experience the culture and opportunities presented to them in their chosen destination. Lucton students are educated to be resilient, optimistic, confident, honest and ambitious. As such, they have the skills and self-assurance to form lasting and positive relationships and to make a responsible contribution to society.
To foster this spirit of internationalism and leadership, every week our students take part in a host of activities such as horse riding, sailing, leadership and debating. These experiences are all designed to promote confidence and courage and inspire them to meet and overcome challenges, a habit which any successful person must acquire. It is very important here at Lucton that our students take on responsibility and become leadership ambassadors for the school. Through the experience of taking on responsibility, they learn valuable skills, while acting as role models for the younger students. We work hard to ensure that our students have opportunities to experience many aspects of leadership and service at Lucton and our House system plays a key role in this.
Our students will graduate from our school having obtained world-class qualifications and equipped with the skills and knowledge to be future leaders in an increasingly complex and internationally linked world. Bilingual and bicultural, they will be able to communicate in Chinese and in English and be ready to explore a different culture and way of life. Independent and self-reliant once they have graduated from university, Lucton students will be able to do anything they want, anywhere they want. They will be highly employable global citizens with an international outlook and a strong sense of moral purpose.
