Microcampus at SAS

Since 2012, groups of grade 8 students from Shanghai American School have taken four-week journeys to the village of Xizhou in China’s Yunnan Province as participants in Microcampus, a program created exclusively by and for SAS. Every aspect of the student experience at the Microcampus program is designed with four primary goals in mind: experiential learning, personal growth, expanding intercultural understanding, and making a positive impact. This fall, HundrED, a Finish organization that spotlights ambitious educational projects around the world, has identified the SAS Microcampus program as one of the top 100 educational innovations for 2017.
