I arrived in China in 2009, looking for new and exciting opportunities along the way, found myself teaching and later writing curriculum. That experi- enceH opened a whole new world for me and it really catalysed my passion for education. Having become a father, I now see education with more depth than before. I have been fortunate to use the wonder of WeChat groups to gain valuable parent insights. I can em- pathise with just how much thought goes into choosing the right school for your child, that is why I am extremely proud to put out this year’s School Directory – your one stop shop for all things school related. Our 2019-20 School Directory will not only be available in print form but will be made available online for you to peruse all year-round. The Directory will help guide you through the maze of international schools, bilingual schools, preschools & kindergar- tens. You’ll be able to find curriculum information, tuition costs and a breakdown of each school you may potentially be interested in.

  • From Special Economic Zones to Science and Technology Clusters
    Upgrading China’s Competitiveness: From Special Economic Zones to Science and Technology Clusters Dr. Filip De Beule Em. Prof. Dr. Daniel Van Den Bulcke Institute of Development Policy and Management University of Antwerp i Preface While the establishment of economic zones at the beginning of China’s open door policy were careful attempts to open China’s door to the outside world and abandon its isolationist policy, the Chinese leadership today is undoubtedly very proud of these achievements. Twenty five years after the first four Special Economic Zones (SEZ) and twenty years after the development and construction of state- level economic and technological development zones, the China National Philatelic Corporation, which belongs to the Chinese Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, issued a special stamp in 2004 to commemorate the establishment of the Economic and Technological Development Zones (ETDZ). An accompanying leaflet stated “This stamp was issued in commemoration of the glorious achievements of the state-level economic and technological zones in the past 20 years, highlighting the role and position of the construction of the development zones in China’s economic construction. Deng Xiaoping’s inscription is the main element in the design of the stamp, and abstract symbols are used to reflect the radiating and driving role of the development zones as windows and models.” This report attempts to describe and evaluate the policy of China to use economic zones as vanguards of development. It is based on desk research with a focus on the studies of clusters and a field trip to China in April 2004 with visits to a number of zones in Shanghai, Chengdu, Chongqing, Beijing and Dalian and interviews with managers of the zones and some Belgian companies located in the zones.

As such, the SAS IB program is inclusive and is available to all students. There are no additional admission requirements to participate in the IB Diploma Programme. To participate, students must be in grade 11 or 12 and must have met specific course prerequisites or the equivalent. Students that have not met course prerequisites may petition for access via a course waiver process. IB LANGUAGE POLICY PHILOSOPHY At SAS, we honor and respect language as an inherent part of culture. We foster a multi-lingual learning environ- ment that provides an open window to cultural understandings. Through language learning, our students strive to make meaning in a global context and our host culture. Language is foundational to all learning. Therefore, we view teachers across all subject areas and contexts as teachers of language and parents as vital contributors to the language learning process. We recognize that ideal language learning is anchored in mastery of student’s mother tongue. SAS “is committed to supporting multilingualism as fundamental to increasing intercultural understanding and international-mindedness, and is equally committed to extending access to an IB education for students from a variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds.” (International Baccalaureate Language Policy, 2014) LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION The primary language of instruction at Shanghai American School is in English.
