The school is a non-profit private institution founded in 2007, in memory of shipping magnate Sir Yue-Kong Pao, the renowned Chinese businessman, statesman and philanthropist.

Songjiang Campus
The Songjiang campus was built in 2011 and designed by British architects, the 57,000 square-metre Songjiang campus comprises four buildings for academics, athletics, performances and residential life.
The Yang Chen Ning Learning Centre houses three libraries: the Great Room, the Reading Room and the Learning Commons. In addition to its many classrooms, the campus also includes eight laboratories and a Student Centre. The Senior Study Centre is for the dedicated use of Senior Secondary students. It includes classrooms, meeting rooms, a library, the Oxygen Bar (for refreshments) and more.

The Residential Centre contains dormitories, music practice rooms, activity rooms, kitchens, game rooms, TV lounges and the Day Student Centre.
This campus also features modern dormitories for students needing boarding services.
Hongqiao Campus
Pao School's 10,000 square meter Hongqiao campus launched in September 2017. Situated in the Changning District just west of downtown Shanghai, it is an ideal learning environment for non-boarding students thanks to its central location and convenient subway access (Metro Line 10).
Under the guidance of Professor Anna Sohmen, founder of YK Pao School, the design is efficient, bright and full of uplifting energy. In the future, the Hongqiao campus will be home to state-of-the art facilities, including a library, STEM center, performing arts center and indoor stadium. We aim to build a campus for the future - a learning environment that is optimal for our middle school students.
Wuding Campus
Situated within the heart of the city, the 7,108 square-metre Wuding campus is conveniently located downtown within the inner-ring road perfect for easy access to your child’s assemblies, drama and music performances. The campus features world-class facilities and provides a nurturing environment in which students learn and grow.
The Wuding campus has art classrooms and a ceramics studio with a kiln. These spaces can accommodate a wide range of activities including drawing, painting, sculpture, and ceramics. In the Music Department, each classroom is equipped with an upright piano for use in music lessons and choral rehearsals. Additionally, there are four piano practice rooms, one percussion practice room and a multi-purpose ensemble rehearsal room. The Music Department has instruments from all over the world: African and Latin percussion instruments, Chinese folk instruments, brass and winds used in Western jazz, as well as electronic keyboards and electric guitars and basses.
