Best Baccalaureate Academy Shanghai Near Me

4worldlovers: Students attending classes is merely part of the SAS experience. Awaiting our families is a community—one that invites involvement, offers support, and fosters partnership with the school and, equally important, with each other.

It seems that no matter what SAS visitors are looking for in the school, they come away with the same conclusion: “I wish I would’ve gone to school here when I was a kid.” It’s an understandable observation. Because the educational experience of SAS excels in many ways. Looking for a rigorous academic environment that can prepare your child for some of the world’s most laudable colleges, universities and fine arts programs? You can find that here. Seeking a philosophy that will nurture your child both inside and outside the classroom? Let us tell you about our dozens of clubs, service learning opportunities, and sports teams that range from participatory up to a varsity-level program that has earned 115 APAC championships. Searching for top facilities? Ours are unmatched in Shanghai, and our not-for-profit status means all revenue that goes into the school stays in the school, continually making the SAS experience even better. All of which has caused more than a few alumni to return to campus, look around, and say, “I wish I was still in school here.”

Eighth graders have spent time living in a small village in Yunnan as part of Microcampus, one of SAS' Signature Programs.

Subjects are taught concurrently in the two-year interdisciplinary project-based learning program called Innovation Institute, one of SAS’ Signature Programs.

Provinces in China have been explored by Middle Schoolers as part of SAS World Classroom, an SAS Signature Program that deepens our students' appreciation of our host country.

Imagine going to school one day, and coming home a month later. Imagine having an epic senior experience, even before you become a senior. Imagine learning to scuba dive, just so you can help preserve nature. These moments describe some of the Signature Programs that were created exclusively by and for SAS. And they’re just a few reasons why an SAS education is truly unmatched.

Each of our beautiful campuses was custom-built to serve the educational philosophy of the school. Inside are a mix of traditional and innovative learning spaces and community areas. Outside lie expansive fields to host a wide variety of activities – whether it be organized sports leagues, or just old fashioned running around.

A six-lane pool in Puxi and an eight-lane pool in Pudong are home to our swim program, and the teams are affectionately known as the Aqua Eagles. Our aquatic centers also allow SAS to host city-wide and regional tournaments. At one tournament last year, we hosted more swimmers than the 2012 London Olympic Games.

The Center for Inquiry + Design (or CID for short) houses our Puxi campus’ high school science wing and maker space, and serves as the home of one of the Signature Programs at SAS, the Innovation Institute. With ceiling height soaring 33 feet, the CID truly is a cathedral to innovative learning.

If you’re ever looking outside the window on our Pudong campus, and you see a student being lowered down from 30 feet in the air, we assure you – you’re not imagining things. Our climbing wall gives students an unmatched learning experience in physical challenge, teamwork, focus, perseverance, and yes, fun.

When our students take to the fields, stages, pools, and courts, our 4,000+ square foot Fitness Center in Pudong helps assure they're well-prepared. The Fitness Center has 30 cardio machines, 40 pairs of weights, 50 medicine balls, 13 Hammerstrength free weight machines, 4 Olympic power racks, and if someone is still feeling ambitious, lots of pull-up bars.

Recognizing a need to increase participation in activities among middle school students, SAS founded CISSA (China International Schools Sports Association) in 2000. 20 schools in and around Shanghai participate.

Elementary school students at SAS participate in a wide variety of after school activities (ASAs), including Soccer, Girl Scouts, and Oil Painting.

In just one year, clubs and activities at SAS took students around the world, including reefs in Malaysia, an orphanage in Africa, a mountain slope in Switzerland, and a glacier in Iceland.

SAS students are guided by the Eagle Code whose founding principles are Gratitude, Respect, and Engagement.
