Parent's Review of QSI Chengdu in Chengdu, China

What is the name of your child's school? (Please report on one school per survey.)

QSI Chengdu

In what town or city is this school located?

Chengdu

How would you describe this school? (i.e. American, British, International, Local, etc.)

American

What grade levels are represented at this school?

K-12

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

Buses cover most expat living areas but use is added to overall costs.

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

Office/city style buildings for upper grades. Lower grade children have small school building in disrepair and old play equipment.

What has this school done to help your child transition from the curriculum in your home country into the curriculum in your new country? Are there programs to prepare your child for repatriation?

School coddles children and really don't challenge them as much as most public schools in America. Teachers are ill prepared to teach the course they are assigned or not certified. Nepotism is rampant.

How would you describe the social activities available for parents through this school? Are there parent-teacher organizations?

A low energy PTO exists but school admin really doesn't engage, consult or encourage their involvement. Mostly focus on events and such.

What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?

Look closely at other options like CDIS. Kick the tires, look under the carpet and questions about certification, nepotism, leadership and ration of non-paying teacher's children who attend the school (resource drain). Very expensive compared to the value.
