Jing'an's private primary schools are very similar to Xuhui's in that they have only four schools, and only one of them is open to the whole city. Jing'an, the primary school that enrolls students in the city, is Shangwai Jing'an Foreign Chinese Primary School. Due to its foreign background, its teaching quality is much better than that of the other three primary schools, and its tuition fees are also the lowest, which can be called the most cost-effective private primary school in Jing'an District.

Founded in 2002, Shangwai Jing'an Foreign Chinese Primary School is one of the first designated schools in Shanghai for the children of returnees. It is located between Beijing West Road and Nanjing West Road, with convenient transportation, quiet in the middle of noisy, and next to it is Shangwai Jingzhong. The campus of Shangwai Jingxiao is not large, it is the smallest area of Jing'an private primary school, and there is no playground, and many parents describe it as pocket-sized. Students need to go to the nearby gymnasium and swimming pool for physical education classes. As of 2016, the school has a total of 56 full-time teachers, including 27 teachers with intermediate and senior professional titles.

Only the first choice is interviewed, and the enrollment in this district and other districts accounts for half of the enrollment. In 2017, the content of the interview was: (1) iPad computer-based test, including finding the same picture, arranging pictures after listening to the story, looking at pictures and talking, reading English videos, etc.; (2) Finish the biscuits as quickly as possible, clean up and leave in line; (3) Passing the ball, passing from the front to the back, and then from the back to the front; (4) Watch videos to learn to dance; (5) Read books to test concentration and reading habits. The interview does not test English proficiency and does not require a self-introduction.

According to the parents' sharing, about 40% of the students in Shangwaijing Primary School choose to enter Shangwaijing Middle School, 40% enter private schools outside the district, and the remaining 20% choose other private schools in the district.

High-quality English teaching is the biggest advantage of Shangwai Jingxiao. In the daily curriculum, the school integrates Chinese and Western cultures, so that students have an international awareness. In addition to the Oxford English textbooks, SISU has also compiled a series of textbooks and English courses, and has made certain changes to the textbooks to adapt to its curriculum changes. In each English class, an administrative class is divided into two English classes, and each student is given the opportunity to listen and speak English while implementing hierarchical teaching. In addition, Shangwaijing Primary School will also arrange a speaking class with a foreign teacher once a week.

In terms of specific implementation, Shangwai Jing Primary School opened the "ABC of Play" course for students in the first grade, taking a variety of game activities as the main form, advocating bold expression in the interaction between students and teachers; In the second and fourth grades, the "Marvel Heroes" course is offered, and foreign teachers inside and outside the school have face-to-face communication with students through Storytelling, phonics, free talk and other sections. In the third year, the "I'm Superstar" course is held, in which the students' oral skills are tested by expert teachers from Shanghai and foreign countries, and the students' oral communication skills are improved.

In terms of the amount of homework, parents said that it was not much, but when it came to extracurricular activities, they bluntly said that it was "too much". As a pilot school to implement the second phase of curriculum reform, Shangwaijing Primary School has introduced a large number of outreach activities and club activities in the teaching plan, not only offering courses such as museum exploration, electronic instrumental music, children's literature reading, wealth management and other courses in the weekly happy activity day, but also English festivals, English villages and other activities every year, and students' extracurricular activities are rich and colorful.

The school's official website is also different from other primary schools, it is updated quickly, and there is a message entrance for parents, and parents can anonymously raise any dissatisfaction and requirements from the school, and the school will reply one by one. In addition, its official website will also publish daily homework, recent activities, exam analysis, a list of students with good performance, and even a weekly menu, so that parents can grasp the status of students in school in real time without communicating with teachers.
