At Shu Ren International Schools, our goal is for students to become life long learners who are motivated to seek answers to probing questions on their own beyond our schoolwide learner outcomes guide.
With campuses in Berkeley and San Jose, Shu Ren International Schools are IB World Schools that inspire a love of learning through an inquiry-based, Mandarin immersion program that prepares students ages 2-12 with the heart and mind to thrive in an evolving global society. Students are guided by teachers to actively discover their strengths, explore new concepts, develop strong practical and academic skills, and experience their lessons within and outside of the traditional classroom environment.
We use Inquiry to provoke curiosity, creative thinking and problem solving.
We use the knowledge we learn to take Action for ourselves and our communities.
We are multilingual, Global Citizens inspired to create a better and more peaceful world.
