Shu Ren International School is an independent, co-educational day school in Berkeley, CA for students in Pre-K through 5th grade. We opened in 2008 with Pre-K, Kindergarten and First Grade and have added a grade each year since then. We offer a dual-immersion education in Chinese and English centered around an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary curriculum framework. Shu Ren was founded on the belief that children should be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values to be engaged global citizens in an increasingly interconnected world. We strive to educate students to be effective and creative problem solvers, with knowledge of other world regions and global issues; skills in communicating in multiple languages and working in cross-cultural environments; and values of respect and concern for the diverse cultures and peoples of the world. Shu Ren provides an academically rigorous but fun environment where children are nurtured to become independent, open-minded, and enthusiastic lifelong learners.
