Shanghai American School

Meet Rachel Zhang from the class of 2021 and read about her experience in taking a gap year to pursue her startup in China. 

What do you get when an entrepreneur, a teacher, and a technologist walk into a bar? Eagles returning to the nest, of course!

In honor of International Women’s Day and in celebration of the female legends of SAS, we present Marybelle Brewster - now Mimi Gardner, a second-generation SAS student from 1947 to 1949 and one of our eldest alumna.

Meet Dion Loke ’11, former SAS Pudong campus student, whose passion and interest in Model United Nations MUN from his SAS days encouraged him to pursue a degree in International Affairs, and which has now led him to where he is today—in a career with the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This week, we celebrate Founders Week at Shanghai American School, the day we first opened our doors to 38 students on September 17, 1912. As part of the celebrations, we're kicking off Alumni Legends, our new series dedicated to highlighting some of the inspirational stories and alumni that have walked through our gates since.
