Shanghai Smic Private School

Originally founded in 2001, the SMIC Private School was originally created to serve families employed by the Semiconductor Manufacturing International Company (SMIC), the largest and most advanced semiconductor companies in China. Over the years, the school’s reputation grew along with enrollment demands as we expanded to include students from outside the company as well. Today, our staff of 500 (of whom almost half are foreigners) serves over 3300 students in grades K-12 in an International Division (SMIC-I) and Chinese Track. SMIC is a highly academic international school-style private school. SMIC-I offers an American-style curriculum (in English) based on US standards. It is authorized by the Shanghai Education Commission and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Among our distinguishing features are a phenomenally successful and diverse AP program (98% of our students score 3 or higher on average) and a unique Chinese language program. With over 800 graduates since 2006, 100% of our high school graduates since 2010 have been accepted to international colleges and universities or have gone to compulsory military service in their countries. The colleges and universities included 33 of the top 100 elite institutions in the world, such as Yale, Princeton, Cambridge, Oxford, Cornell, Dartmouth, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, Brown, New York University, Rice, University College London, McGill, Seoul National University, Yonsei University, and Johns Hopkins We're not only about academics, though, as we have many extra-curricular program options as well including ten award-winning sports programs and over 50 after-school clubs for students to join. Whether SMIC Private School students pursue academics, sports, or other extra-curricular activities, our staff and active school community encourages their efforts to aim for excellence, while retaining a sense of honor, community, and joy.
