About Shenzhen American International School
Shenzhen American International School provides educational services to children beginning in preschool through ninth grade, using American standards. SAIS uses a unique Rigorous Project-Based Learning approach to supplement high-quality academic instruction with critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. Students are engaged in real-world work when they do a project. They apply their learning to a real problem, they create models and presentations, and they communicate their learning to the public.

- Is an educational psychologist on staff or available by referral?
- Can you support a child with my child's specific need (e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, autism), and have you done so this year? Ask for concrete examples.
- Is there an additional fee for learning support or EAL — and how much per year?
- Is learning support guaranteed for the full enrolment, or can it be withdrawn later?
