Shanghai Livingston American School (SLAS) opened its original campus on August 26, 2003 and moved to its current Ganxi Road site in Changning District in January 2005. SLAS follows an American curriculum that aligns with California public-school standards and offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses in the high school program. The school publishes age cutoffs from Nursery (age 2) through Grade 12 and provides a door-to-door school bus service for Shanghai addresses (with published semester rates). SLAS also lists a community-service programme and foreign-language classes (students have taken French, Japanese, Spanish and Chinese), and the school highlights school libraries and arts/music offerings as regular parts of its programme. All facts above are taken from the school website.
