International
school in Shanghai notoriously known for being
ghetto and small. Walls fall apart, desks and chairs are vandalized and destroyed by students, many facilities are third world, and lunch doesn't even qualify for fourth-world. Yet students still make the best out of it and have an awesome time. You can call each grade "one big happy
family" since everybody knows each other and it's not as clique-y as most high schools are. But then again, people are split into the "fobby, chinese speaking people" and the "
american, english speaking people"
Class of 2013 was the last athletic class of the
school. Instead of basketball, volleyball, and all the other generally awesome sports, the classes of 2014 and beyond invest their time in ping pong,
tag, and capture the flag
Students do not portray the typical stereotypes of average high schools. People can be dopplegangers of themselves; at one point they'll be a
nerd and then afterschool they'll be one of the best players on a varsity team. While dating does happen, it’s rarer than a vegetarian
lion. Racism runs rampant, though mainly cause of the 99.99%
Asian population. With almost no white, black, brown, or (insert color) people, students are free to joke about other races at their leisure. On that note, pretty much everyone speaks fluent Chinese (except this freckled girl)
The
school mascot is the shark. SMIC's awesome. Don't let anyone ever tell you different. Those people are just losers without school spirit.
