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.
There was this legendary asian guy who went to The SMIC Private School, who unfortunately had to leave after his freshman year.

Get the The SMIC Private School mug.
school that gives you mental illness. everyone fighting for their fucking lives trying to compete for the limited ivy league college spots. if you don’t have a weighted 5.0 gpa 120 toefl 1600 sat and all 5s on your 10 AP courses — you are fucking stupid. also sexist as hell. disgusting male sophomores are allowed to rampage the gym half naked while if girls wear shorts they get dress coded (it’s okay if the uniform skirt is shorter than most shorts though, cause it’s instructed by the School.) most students are bigots that advocates for the death of marginalized demographics all day long. some teachers are too. people spewing derogatory slurs all day long. so fun.

also not to mention that the school is located in the middle of nowhere. nothing has changed since the previous entries really. you aren’t allowed to even walk a hundred meters outside to the family mart to buy food at lunch. maybe their concern is justified, because i am sprinting out of this school at any chance i get. fucking horrible. i bet it’ll be gone in ten years.
wow, look at these text messages calling girls “sluts that belong on the streets” and containing homophobic slurs — must be a group chat from the SMIC private school!

SMIC is a great school to go to if you like freezing in the winter, burning in the summer, having windows break without touching them, eating food that has some serious health problems, and much more. There was no air conditioning; we had a load of broken AC machines though! The student population is 97% Asians, 3% white, and 0% black.

The cafeteria and its food was seriously disgusting. The rat on the ceiling made my day. They changed it this year, but the last 12 years were nasty noodles, chicken head popcorn chicken (inedible by the way), oily junk food that is in the both the literal sense and figurative sense. The scraps were given to the guard dogs who have disappeared some time ago. Rumor had it that they were killed until an American teacher let it out that he ate them. It was his first and "last" time to eat dog meat.

In sports news, they have a great basketball team. Legendary basketball coach Cabanos once said, "I'm now trying to be the first high school basketball team in Shanghai to reach 100 points. That's no easy task when the games end when there is a difference in 30 points. In order to reach 100, we let the other team score the points for one full minute each and every quarter." The rest of the time, the team barely ever not have their hands on their ball(s). The gym was a ghetto place held up by heavy-duty tape; the floor was horrible until they finally replaced it. Something actually good.
The place where nerd-athlete can be used to describe someone.
Kid 1: Just finished cleaning the whole wing of the school.
Kid 2: Why? You got a detention?
Kid 1: No, it's The SMIC Private School, we have to clean up, the ayis (cleaners) sit and watch.

Student (born after 2000): How old is this computer?
Teacher: Older than you.

Teacher: How many of us live in the ghetto outside?
30% of the hands raise up.
Teacher: So which one of you sprayed the toilets (a third of which are just irrigated holes in the ground) with spraypaint?
