SHANGHAI COMMUNITY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Embracing New Ways of Learning Together
As SCIS heads into its second week of virtual learning, the entire SCIS Community deserves a collective congratulations for all their hard work. There is no doubt that the school closure has resulted in a fair bit of uncertainty, but it has also been an amazing testament to the flexibility, dedication, and problem-solving shown by teachers, students, and parents.
Although entirely online, in many ways this period has forced everyone at SCIS to collaborate and come together as a community to find new ways to help student learning. From SCIS faculty to all its families “thank you for your encouragement and support throughout as this has helped make e-learning a success. Change is never easy, but the resilience and commitment on display from teachers, students, and parents helped us start off on the right foot.”

SHANGHAI AMERICAN SCHOOL
For the last few weeks, Shanghai American School students have been sharing photos from a multitude of locations including Turkey, USA, Thailand, Australia, South Africa and more.
As part of Distance Learning @ SAS, Grade 6 social studies teacher Max Schwartz (currently based in Bali, Indonesia) sends videos introducing his students to the learnings of the day.

This week’s topic was particularly challenging: compare human rights in Ancient Greece to human rights that exist in our world today and evaluate the extent to which there has been continuity or change.
As SAS students Ana Sophia and Billy watched the video, they noticed Mr Schwartz was conducting his teaching from Bali and quickly realised WE’RE IN BALI TOO! Billy immediately asked if Mr Schwartz could come over to review the material in person and when he said yes, as mum Caty described, “It was like Christmas morning”. Nice one Max!
