Shanghai American School

Just because our facilities are amazing doesn’t mean they can’t get even better. This summer saw transformations in spaces on both campuses and all divisions.  

Middle school is often the age of awkwardness, growth spurts, and social exploration. It’s also a time where young teens embark on journeys of grand discovery. At Shanghai American School, we provide plenty of opportunities for students to pioneer their futures. This includes the fun and enriching Exploratory classes at Pudong Middle School.

This week, as we celebrate 111 years, step back in time and witness the incredible journey of SAS through the years. From our humble beginnings 111 years ago to our present-day campuses, these images tell a story of transformation, progress, and unwavering dedication to education. 

Last Friday, Puxi Middle School students traded their textbooks for a taste of adventure, diving headfirst into the world of personal growth and resilience. This day of excitement? The long-awaited Bonding Day. 

As an SAS tradition, 12th graders go on a senior trip before jetting off to universities across the globe, something the ’22 seniors missed out due to Covid-19.  However, this summer, several ’22 alumni took their long overdue senior trip, demonstrating that the SAS bond endures. We had the privilege of catching up with four of these alumni who went to Sanya before they embarked on their sophomore year. 

That’s right, tell a friend because we’re back for another eventful school year at SAS. Our Pudong and Puxi campuses transformed back into their usual hive of excitement and commotion as we welcomed all our students today and with it a day of monumental firsts.
