Shanghai - School Report Question and Answers

Please describe any problem areas or challenges in social interaction at the school:

Just distance from housing. SAS has two campuses. One in Puxi and one in Pudong. The Embassy and its housing are closer to half-way between them in Puxi. Busing takes 30-45+ minutes. - Aug 2013


I saw none, which surprised me. It's a truly international school with no one culture dominating. Many of the kids are not native English speakers. They had Dutch and Finnish classes to help kids retain their native language, but there doesn't seem to be a problem with culture cliques. My middle-schooler's group of friends included kids from Brazil, Singapore, Korea, and Finland. They've all moved away but still keep in touch. - Jul 2010


See the above. Racism at the school is a big problem among both parents and children. - Jul 2010
