I. About the School

1

Q. What is the most upholding philosophy of SHSID? What is the core value SHSID esteems the most in terms of education, or put in a different way, what kind of people does SHSID want students to become?

A: SHSID is an international school run by Chinese administrators. On the one hand, we pass on the most up-to-date knowledge and culture; on the other, we promote Chinese culture to help international students have a better understanding and affinity to the Chinese culture.

We never tell parents what kind of students we want to cultivate; we try our best to provide different platforms for different students, because every student is a unique individual. If we had to give a totalizing answer as to what kind of students we want to cultivate, then we would say we want to foster global citizens cognizant of Chinese culture.

上中国际部办学最崇尚的理念是什么，教育的核心价值观是什么？或者说最想把孩子培养成什么样的人？

中国人办的国际学校，一方面传授当代知识和文化之精髓，另一方面传播中国文化，让学生对中国有正确的理解和有亲近感。

我们不准备把每个孩子按照我们的想法变成什么样的人，而是提供一个又一个平台，让我们的学生都不一样。如果非要说有一个培养目标的话，就是要培养我们的学生成为具有中国情怀的世界公民。

Q: The curriculum and extracurricular activities seem to put emphasis on the combination of Western and Chinese cultures, so under the influence of both cultures, what would students turn out to be?

A: In terms of the curriculum, we run the American-based curriculum. In Grades 11-12, we also provide IBDP, AP，AS & A-Level courses. Considering teaching and administration, we absorb the strong points of the East and the West. For example, under the impact of Chinese culture, teachers lay stress on discipline, the reception and comprehension of knowledge and drill, while the Western culture emphasizes more interaction, doubt, discussion, and cooperation.

Students would benefit greatly from such a learning and living environment. We encourage students to actualize personal growth through the platforms we provide them to explore their interests. We don' t expect a "successful person" in the most vulgar sense; on the contrary, if the student is into music, then becoming a happy DJ is also a land of success as we see it.

上中国际在课程和课外活动等方面的设置在家长眼中感觉是强调中西结合的，在两种文化的共同灌输下，孩子会长成什么样的人？

从课程设置上来讲我们是类美国课程，到了 11-12 年级增设IB课程、AP 课程、AS & A-Level课程。但在教学和管理方面，我们确实发挥东西方两方的优势。东方强调学习的规范、接受、理解、训练等方面，西方强调互动、质疑、讨论、合作等方面。学生必将从这样的教学和生活环境中受益。学校最重视的是学生按照自己的兴趣、潜力等个体情况在学校提供的平台上实现个人的发展。我们不要求也不期望每个学生都成为一般人眼中的 “成功人士”，如果他喜欢音乐，做一个快乐的DJ也是成功的。

Q: Other than academic performance, what merits does the school see as most important?

A: The school encourages the well-rounded development of students, which means not only the accumulation of knowledge but also the development of the student as a person. To be more specific, you could get a glimpse of the comprehensiveness of knowledge students are supposed to grasp through our primary school, junior high school, and senior high school curriculum.

As for the development of students' personalities, we have all kinds of sports facilities, a drama center, annual IB/AP art work exhibitions, news reports and talk shows written, directed, and acted by the students themselves, etc. The school has nearly a hundred students spontaneously organized student associations covering all fields of interest. All kinds of social service activities, sports teams, and artistic activities have also flourished.

除了学习之外，学校重视什么？

学校重视全面发展，包括知识面的全面和人的个性发展。具体来说，知识面的全面——可以通过初小、高中的课程体系来了解。

人的个性发展——比如说，我们有各类体育设施、戏剧教室、年度 IB/AP 艺术画展、电视台学生自编自导自播新闻和脱口秀节目等。学校有近百个学生自发组织的覆盖各个兴趣领域的社团。各类社会服务活动、体育校队、艺术活动也都蓬勃发展。

Q: What activities with SHSID characteristics does the school hold every year?

A: The Charity Fair, Art Festival, Talent Show, Career Day, and so on are the traditional activities of the school every year. In addition, company visits, job shadows, ice projects, various science and innovation laboratories, science and innovation events, outdoor courses (such as the "survival training" series, "extreme challenge" series, "embracing nature" series, "self-discovery" series, etc.), art exhibition seasons, art galleries, school sports teams, service learning, and other activities provide students with various platforms to display and experience.

每年学校有什么特色的活动？

义卖会、艺术节、才艺秀、职业日等是学校每年的传统活动。除此之外，公司参访、影子学者、冰上项目、各类科创实验室、科创赛事、户外课程（如“生存训练”系列、“极限挑战”系列、“拥抱自然”系列、“自我发现”系列等）、艺术展演季、美术画廊、体育校队、服务性学习（service learning）等活动为学生提供了各种展示和体验的平台。

Q: Compared with non-publicly funded bilingual schools, what do you think is the most prominent characteristic of SHSID?

A: Other bilingual schools have their characteristics. The constitutions of students are different，and objectives are also different, so there' s no way to make comparisons between SHSID and other non-publicly funded bilingual schools. We have become truly internationalized both

in terms of what we believe in, but also in what we do. Students don't need to spend a period of time to fit into the environment because of the international environment is that of students from all over the world. There won' t be a problem of homogeneity. SHSID is a micro international community.

和其他民办双语学校相比，上中国际部最大的特色是什么？

民办双语学校有他们自己的特点，因为不是同一类型的学校，生源不一样，培养目标也不一样，所以无法做比较。我们作为一所国际学校，做到了在理念上和实践上的真正国际化。学生走进西方国家的高等学府之后不存在适应期的问题，因为在我们学校已经是真正的国际化环境，各种各样特点的人都有，避免了学生的同质化倾向，是一个微型的小国际社会。

Q: Please briefly summarize the past, present and future of SHSID.

A: From its establishment in 1993 to the 20^th anniversary in 2013, and then to the upcoming 30^th anniversary, SHSID has gone through a passage from infancy to a school of great scale. Now, the school is on its way from big to strong to make it a world-class international school.

The power of China, the development of Shanghai, and the brand effect of Shanghai High School help to make SHSID what it is today, and conversely, SHSID also adds some influence to Shanghai High School in the international arena.

简单谈谈上中国际部的过去、现在和未来。

从1993年成立到 2013年二十周年，再到即将迎来的三十周年，上中国际部完成了从无到有，从小到大的发展历程。目前，学校正在朝从大到强的路上发展，真正做到世界一流的国际学校。中国的强大、上海的发展以及上海中学的品牌造就了上中国际部，反过来上中国际部也给上海中学带来了更大的国际影响力。

Q: What is the biggest difference between SHSID and other international schools?

A: We avoid comparisons with other international schools because we are unique. What make us unique are our garden-like campus environment, our unique homeroom teacher system, our up-to-date education philosophy, and the instillation of Chinese culture. Many foreign parents and parents from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan want to send their children to our school, and among them, many are elites of our society. A big thanks to our PTSA for the contributions they have made to SHSID.

上中国际和其他国际学校的最大区别？

我们不与其他的国际学校做直接对比，因为我们学校是独特的。

我们一流的公园般的校园环境，独到的班主任体系，与国际接轨的教育理念，中国文化的无痕渗透都让我们变得独一无二。很多外籍人士、港澳台人士争相把孩子送到我们学校就读，其中很多家长都是社会精英。我们的PTSA非常支持学校的各类活动的组织，做了大量的贡献。

II. About Admissions

1

Q: What quality does the school value the most in students in the admission process?

A: We have a comprehensive evaluation system to evaluate students' backgrounds, academic potential, communication skills, and character. The leveled course system at SHSID can make every student take courses that fit them the best. Individuality is what we cherish the most. Each class is composed of students of different personalities, and only in this way can a class be truly dynamic.

招生时比较看重什么？

我们有一个综合评价体系，看重学生的全面素养，对学生的背景分析、学科素养、谈吐、个性特点等方面都进行一定的评价。上中国际独到精妙的分层体系教学让每个学生找到合适自己的课程组合。我们没有最看重的，每个人都不一样。我们注重班级的构成，需要很多不一样的孩子这样才能营造一个个有活力的班级。

2

Q: What is the rate of acceptance?

A: Due to the policy constraint that only international students, including overseas students and students from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao can be admitted to SHSID, the rate of acceptance is fairly reasonable.

One out of 4-5 students is admitted to become a 1^st grader, but sometimes the rate could be lower. As for other grades, the rate depends on the number of students who leave. Many parents come to consult about the admission policy, and it' s a pity that quite a few of their children can't come to SHSID due said policy. The school is crowded with students and parents during every admission test session.

录取比率是怎么样？

因为入学门槛（外籍人员子女学校）的限制，我们的录取比例是控制在一个比较合理的水平， 一般新生一年级是 4-5个里面录取一个。遇到名额比较紧张的时候偶尔可能会出现竞争更激烈的情况。其他年级视离校人数而定，很难统计录取率。

因为学校确实办出了品牌，每年来咨询的人都很多，非常遗憾的是其中相当一部分申请者身份不符合入学标准。每次入学面试也都门庭若市。
