A brief history of nearly everything about SRIS!
As students came and went from the school there were many success stories with students moving to Universities such as the State University of New York, Queen Mary’s College London, Hong Kong University and Brisbane University. These are just some of the Universities alumni are studying at, others have gone on to further their education in Sweden, India, Italy, Singapore, Korea and other universities in the U.S, U.K and Australia. The range of courses offered by the school has led to degree study in everything from Psychology, Biochemistry and Economics to Art and 3D design with film making. It is always a proud moment to watch the students move into further education and we have supported students with applications in all these countries. Many of the former students have returned to the school to discuss what they are now doing and thank staff for their support.

SHANGHAI REGO INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL |
|
|
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Shanghai Rego International School first opened its doors on September 1st 2003 with 137 students ranging in age from 3-17! Painted in a subtle yellow and blue combination the whole school was situated on what is now the Secondary School Campus and apparently in the early days there was still a street market on the road outside in the mornings! People still ask whether the name Rego has a long historical background (or even a short explanation!) and it is fairly safe to say that there is no hidden meaning in the school name. The founding Principal, who was to remain for the next four academic years, was Mr. Hadyn Adams. Whilst he is now gone, there are still two original members of overseas teaching staff still at the school, Mr. John Wade and Mr. Daniel Iddon and Ms. Coco Shi is still here from the Chinese staff! Mr. Adams was apparently the designer of the building colour scheme and his impact is still felt each day with the Pompey chimes as the school bell (He was an avid Portsmouth Football Club Fan!) The school quickly grew in numbers to its present size and the combination of the English National Curriculum and a unique Wednesday afternoon activities programme clearly made its mark with the whole school community. As numbers grew the school maintained the idea that 18 was a maximum ideal class size and all students benefited from the small student to staff ratio!
