About teaching in China with Giraffe Inspire Shanghai
Giraffe Inspire is a school that blends excellence, innovation and talent to create the best educational establishment in Shanghai.
Giraffe Inspire boasts three state of the art training centres, all within a stones-throw from well-known Shanghai landmarks. Our flagship centre on Huashan Road covers three floors with eighteen classrooms and is located just across the road from the famous Jiaotong University.
On the other side of the river Pu can be found our newest centre in the luxury JYC shopping mall. Having won international design awards for its ‘flowing chapter’ design concept, the JYC school is a truly inspirational school to teach and learn at.
Finally, no explanation of our centres would be complete without an introduction to our Shi Guang Li centre. Visit at night-time and be treated to the spectacle of a Giraffe lights show twinkling across the floating classrooms of this beautiful centre. Peek inside and you might discover a class performing a stage play. Macbeth? Romeo and Juliet? You will have to come and visit to find out.
