YK Pao School (Chinese :上海民办包玉刚实验学校) is a private international school in Shanghai,China,named after shipping magnate Yue-Kong Pao. There are three campuses located in the city for primary,secondary,and high school education. [3]
In 2021,the school was ranked first in Hurun Education's list of top international schools that accept Chinese students in China mainland. [4]
The school was founded in 2007 by Anna Pao Sohmen in memory of her father,businessman Yue-Kong Pao,who established the Hong Kong-based Worldwide Shipping Company in 1955. [5]
