OVERVIEW

The Cambridge International Centre of Shanghai Normal University (SNU) was established in December 2005, under direct management of SNU and authorized by CIE (Cambridge International Examinations) to teach A level courses and conduct A level examinations in Shanghai, P. R. China (CIE registration number: CN 265).

A level – the General Certificate of Education Advanced Level is the 'gold standard' of CIE qualifications, and recognized by universities worldwide. Good A level grades can be a key to admission for all the world’s major anglophone universities, and in some countries, A level qualifications can even earn advanced credit, sometimes can result in up to one full year of course credit. 
Our center has been working closely with the Shanghai Normal University and shares their high quality teaching facilities and human resources to provide the best possible education for our students. We adopt a ‘Doubly Insured’ teaching methodology, which means we have two sets of teachers – overseas teachers and Chinese bilingual teachers working cooperatively for each subject. This will ensure our students benefit from the essence of both the Eastern and Western educational systems, and learn A level courses in a cost effective way.

We have teachers from various cultural backgrounds, and our center is creating our own cultural identity, which includes being kind and thoughtful towards your colleagues, and sensitive towards other cultures. Many overseas teachers, even if it is their first experience in Shanghai, enjoy working within our school and life in Shanghai. 

All of our pupils have received more than 9 years of local education, many of them have a solid academic background, but due to the differences between the Chinese and Western education systems, it would be hard for our students to obtain a place in competitive universities worldwide. Our centre is aiming to provide a bridge between the East and West and help each individual pupil to transform his or her talent into accomplishment – accomplishments which will make them valued and respected in an increasingly complex world.
