Shanghai American School

The class of 2023 donned caps and gowns this past Sunday for their graduation ceremony  at the Shanghai International Dance Center. Joined  by their friends, family, and even our favorite alumna Betty Barr, who has attended almost every single SAS graduation for as long as we can remember, these grads accepted their diploma and their new status as SAS alums.  

A select group of eighth graders of both the Puxi and Pudong campuses set off for an adventure of a lifetime as Microcampus 8 finally made a comeback after a hiatus due to Covid-19. Armed with enthusiasm and a thirst for exploration, these young explorers stepped out of their comfort zones to immerse themselves in the rich culture of the Naxi and Bai ethnic minorities in Xizhou, Yunnan Province. 

From the baseball field to composing songs, Puxi Senior Matt Cline has been keeping busy at Shanghai American School. And come next fall, Matt is jetting off to Princeton University where he’s looking forward to not only continuing studying music, but the wide range of classes Princeton offers as well.

In a world where knowledge is power, teachers hold the key to unlocking the potential within each student. Their dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment play a crucial role in shaping the minds and futures of countless individuals. Shanghai American School knows just how impactful these educators are, which is why we recently rolled out the red carpet for Teacher Appreciation Week.
