LUC is a growing International Preschool in the heart of the International Community in Shanghai. In the 3 years since our foundation in 2012, LUC’s reputation has grown rapidly, to the point where we now enjoy an excellent reputation in the community and our children are admitted to the finest schools in Shanghai and beyond. The children at LUC range from 2 to 6 years of age and come from a diverse range of cultures.

Our aim is to produce children who will have a positive impact on the world. Children will leave with strong social, emotional，bilingual and academic foundations, to confidently enter Primary School and beyond. We stress the need to develop the children’s academics, character, health and their emotional wellbeing through a child centred, virtue led and bilingual Early Years approach. This approach will give LUC children the foundation they need to become future leaders and that is our aim at LUC.

Our philosophy is based on the idea that, children should love coming to school, it is an exciting place where they can socialize, inquire, play and succeed. Their learning should be based around play where their imaginations are utilized to foster creativity, and through the creation of learning stations - which must be fun. Quick teacher led lessons, to demonstrate to the children a new idea or concept, followed by a return to student led learning activities, keeps the child’s education enjoyable – which in turn means that the children are in a ‘learning ready’ state of mind. This type of positive environment creates the conditions that enable them to grow, develop and achieve. This style of learning will also help to create confident, well balanced children who will go on to succeed in Primary School and beyond.

So, teaching at LUC involves educating the whole child; nurturing the children, developing their academics, character, health and their emotional wellbeing. In addition to this, we are mindful of the fact that language is the means by which we all communicate with, and interpret, the world. It is therefore an amazing advantage for our children at LUC to be working in a bilingual environment - and it will be a fantastic skill for them when they go out into the world. This means our teachers need to be comfortable working as part of a teaching team, usually comprising a senior Chinese teacher and one or two junior assistants. This does mean we have a generous student to teacher ratio, but we have high expectations of our staff and expect them to meet these expectations.
