CINDY W. | Parent of Student

My experience here has been all amazing. I like the teachers; they’re all experienced and really good. The other students are very nice too. I’m always interacting with the other students and nobody feels left out. It’s a really nice environment to learn.

ELIOT | Student

I enjoyed the activities we did. For example, the Saturday trip to Shanghai Financial Tower, the Bund and Shanghai museum with a teacher who taught us Chinese on the way was a great experience! Calligraphy was also another activity I really enjoyed.
