Shanghai American School had the chance to celebrate the collaboration with Community Center Shanghai’s Minhang branch. On this occasion, CCS is also honoring us in a special way, officially naming SAStheir “Founding Organization since 2013.” Honoring our history together, this recognition gives SAS a permanent presence in the stories CCS will tell of its history for all the years to come.
上海美国学校与上海众心国际社区中心闵行分部续签了合作协议。在这个特殊时刻，创立于2013年的上海众心国际社区中心以特别的方式向我们表达了感谢，正式将上海美国学校确定为他们的“创始组织”。作为对我们共同历史的纪念，这一殊荣让上海美国学校在上海众心国际社区中心的历史中占据了一席之地。
As Shanghai’s largest, most storied international school, it only makes sense that Shanghai American School would build a strong relationship with Community Center Shanghai, and they with us. Our experience has shown us that a world-class international education involves a deep commitment and connection between the school, our families, and the wider community we call home. Community Center Shanghai has been the perfect partner to foster just that: it is a place filled with resources for our international community to better connect with opportunities in the city they now call home. The programs at CCS, from charities to counseling to classes, are varied and numerous, just as a city and community this diverse and ever-changing needs.
作为上海规模最大、最具传奇色彩的国际学校，上海美国学校与上海众心国际社区中心建立强劲的合作关系是必然的事情。（此外，上海众心国际社区中心经理曾桢的女儿最近刚从上海美国学校毕业。）我们的经验告诉我们，世界级的国际教育需要学校、家庭和社区的强强联合。在这方面，上海众心国际社区中心是我们理想的合作伙伴：他们提供了丰富的资源，让我们的国际社区能够更好抓住上海提供的机会。同时，上海众心国际社区中心还提供了多种多样的项目，从慈善活动到咨询课程等，就像上海这座城市一样丰富多彩，需求不断变化。
Marcel Gauthier, Head of School at SAS, says, “One of the inherent truths about international schools is that our opportunity to serve goes beyond education. Our families are often far from their support systems of family and friends, professional networks, and sense of community. We fulfill some these additional needs through parent/school partnership programs and groups such as our PTSAs. However, the Community Center Shanghai is able to perfectly complement what we can do as a school. For example, CCS can go deeper on language tutoring, hobby and craft explorations, and professional/personal development.”
上海美国学校校长Marcel Gauthier表示：“对于国际学校来说，我们提供的不仅仅是教育。学校的很多家庭通常远离了由家人朋友、同事和社区组成的支持体系。而我们通可以过像家委会这样的家长/学校合作项目及团体来满足其中一些需求。然而，上海众心国际社区中心能够对我们所做的工作进行完美补充。例如，上海众心国际社区中心可以深入进行语言辅导、爱好和工艺探索以及职业/个人发展。”
As a school founded in 1912, we know a little something about the roots and heart that can be found in honoring where you began. Cheers, Community Center Shanghai, to a great partnership. We are honored to be a founding member, and thrilled to be at your side as you grow.
作为一所创立于1912年的国际学校，我们深知根源的重要性。很高兴我们能与上海众心国际社区中心建立良好的合作伙伴关系，也很荣幸能够成为社区中心的创始成员，上海美国学校乐于共同推动上海众心国际社区中心的发展。
PARTNERSHIPS. EVERY DAY AT SAS.
合作。就在上海美国学校的每一天。
