At Pao School we recognise sport as an essential part of whole person education and value its importance in each student's physical, mental and social well-being. We aim to have every student participate as much as possible while giving their best efforts to reach their potential as an athlete as well as an individual. Above all, we value effort and commitment as key qualities we expect from each participant. We hope to foster students' passion for sport and offer a range of activities, such as swimming, football, basketball, volleyball, badminton and more. Students have opportunities to hone their skills in a wide range of sports via the Co-Curricular Sports Programme.
Because of our favourable location, we take advantage of off-campus facilities, such as the Cypress Hotel and Xijiao Sports Center, where our students play tennis, volleyball, basketball and much more.
Students also have the opportunity to travel to other schools and develop their athletic skills through competition. Pao School is one of the founding members of the Shanghai Schools Sports Association (SSSA), a league consisting of approximately 20 international and bilingual schools that compete throughout the year in a wide range of sports.
