Shanghai American School is a private, nonprofit, coeducational international school. The school is owned by the SAS Parent Association and is governed by a Board of Directors elected from and by the parents of the school. Located on both sides of the sprawling city of Shanghai, the two SAS campuses serve as educational and cultural centers for much of the expatriate community in Shanghai. Since 1993 growth and enrollment have been dramatic, driven mostly by the rapid increase in Shanghai's expatriate business community. Current enrollment is more than 3,300 students from almost 40 countries. The first graduation of SAS high school students in 50 years took place in 1995 with a class of six students.
