On July 4, SABS leaders—Principal Gloria Gong, Party Secretary Vincent Xu, and Assistants Rain Xu and Carol Xu—reviewed breakthroughs in the first year of the school’s third five-year plan, covering teacher growth, student progress, and operations.

SABS achieved a landmark: after kindergarten IB PYP approval, it secured primary PYP and senior high CP accreditation in four months, becoming Shanghai’s first full IB school. Announced globally at SABS’s June 28th IB China Conference, this marks its international education turnaround.

Gloria Gong praised staff’s resilience and growth, framing the summit as both a milestone review and a call to advance educational innovation in the next five-year phase.
