Hopefully a Shanghai-er will read this thread and comment on the accommodation cost, I've only visited, never lived there. From what I know though, it's similar to Shenzhen where I live - which means it's far, far more expensive than most of China. As it happens I've recently been apartment hunting and I'm finding that 3500-4500 here is enough to get you a good 2 bedroom apartment around 70-130 square metres. (Admittedly that's just one district, Futian). The one I've settled on is 4500 but it is really fantastic in terms of size and has a wonderful view.
If you're getting a place just for yourself, I guess you should just be aware that the Chinese standard of what's an acceptable size for a studio for 1 person is decidedly pokey compared to Western standards. You can probably get places for like 2500-3000 with microscopic kitchens and bedrooms around, what, 40-50 m2, I've lived in places like that in the past.
On the positive side, you will find most of the places offer good modern furnishing.
Like I say, I haven't lived in Shanghai, only Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Nanjing (which was much cheaper) so if I'm talking out of my buttocks I'm sure someone on here will correct me 
One more thing from the description of your school - it sounds like a program within a high school - watch out for frictions between your program and the school it runs in. I had that experience in one of my jobs, it was a bit of a nightmare! |
This may sound strange to you. I cannot get to Shanghai by the date the school needs me. If you are not under contract now, would you be interested in the position? |

Sorry, I'm under contract here in Shenzhen ... it can be kind of difficult to find qualified Maths and Science teachers here in China  . Maybe someone else on here is interested, they could PM you ..  |

They certainly could pm me. I would have to respond on the public forum. Happy to give someone the contact person/email/phone number. |
