Canadian/Chinese/International

K-10

How do most children get to school everyday? (bus, train, walk, etc.)

Issc has a "Chinese" school bus (for a hefty fee). NOT a nice ride.

How would you describe the facilities at this school? What extra-curricular activities are available?

Facilities are very Chinese..squat toilets in the restrooms..plugged up. Very noisy cement rooms. No extra-curricular activities.

Curriculum is in English.

There is a PTA

If from US, advise AGAINST, as there is anti-American sentiment amongst staff. The school is NOT really like other International Schools, except for the price. A joint-venture between China and Cananda...very communist.
