SMIC Private School was established by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) in 2001; SMIC Group invested in the school to serve the families of its Zhangjiang technical campus and the surrounding community. The school expanded quickly and opened enrollment to the public in 2004, graduating its first senior class in 2006. It operates as a privately funded school backed by SMIC and has developed both Chinese-track and international-track programs over time. The school's published materials note ongoing support from SMIC as the founding investor and sponsor.
The school presents a mixed Chinese and international community: its site and news feed highlight students and faculty from many countries and frequent campus events that bring those communities together. School pages and news items show regular performances, grade-level projects and concerts (for example, a Winter Concert and grade-level poetry project featured in the school's “What's Happening” posts). The official overview also emphasizes combining Chinese and Western cultural activities as part of the school's programming. Overall, the community is described in school materials as diverse and active, with parents, teachers and students participating in curricular and extracurricular events.
