Shanghai American School

Watch out High Schoolers, our Middle and Elementary thespians are coming for your Tony Awards. Next week, they will be starring in theater productions on each campus. Lucky for us, we were able to catch an exclusive sneak preview behind the scenes. 

At Shanghai American School, we encourage students to see themselves as scientists, historians, and artists to actively engage in their learning.  Last year, several of our students channeled their inner Wang Wei by participating in a year-long Chinese painting and poetry slam sponsored by the Pudong Education Bureau.

Yes, we actually have a Space Manifesto. Why? Because SAS is our home away from home, and the design of a place can transform the very experience of learning and growing. As usual, our recent changes are more than just improvements— they are custom-designed solutions in response to our students and our culture.  

Over the past two weeks we hosted TheTen, sending our Grade 10 students on four days packed with activities ranging from sailing to movie-making. What was beneath these fun-filled itineraries? Building those essential human skills that can elevate their whole education. But don’t tell them that.
