The ultimate underdog school with Asians taking up 99.99% of the student body. The remaining 0.01% are the Pelachiars and Markoffs.
The IT department needs funds but being the underdog school means students can still survive with slow internet and the aging Lenovo computers. The printers always run out of ink so students can be seen using that excuse when asked to turn in homework.
The Athletic department is top notch. H. Canfield is the boss. He's organized, efficient, and very friendly. He makes the effort of showing up at every single home or away game, may it be soccer, volleyball, basketball or badminton. He is definitely the best A.D. in Shanghai. B. Bates, the man. This guy gets stuff done. Don't be fooled by his looks. He is the BEST coach, teacher, father-figure, friend you can find. He never lets his kids down and will stand up for them no matter what. Coolest teacher at the school.
Students usually complain about the tough material but all of them end up loving S. Han and thank her for those hell years. R. Cabanos is nice but don't mess with the man. He will rip your head off if you take advantage of his kindness. His brownies are to die for.
The school is slowly falling apart because of the administration screw but the great teachers who are still there are the ones keeping it together.
I went to the SMIC Private School because it was cheaper than SAS/BISS/YCIS/SCIS/SHS/Concordia/Dulwich/German School. I got a real education, I dated my best friend's ex-boyfriends, and now I'm fucked cause I don't know what it's like in the real world.
