Parent's Review of Canadian International School Kunshan in Kunshan, China

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

Canadian International School Kunshan

In what town or city is this school located?

Kunshan

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

Broadly International

What grade levels are represented at this school?

N-9

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

Parents and grandparents drive their children to school while some students ride buses.

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

Facilities are functional. Not great by any means.

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?

Nothing. The school uses Ontario Curriculum. There is no ESL program and since most students are Chinese Nationals, I find this to be rather strange.

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

There are no organizations for parents. In general, the school provides poor communication to the parents, often sending out information only in Chinese.

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

Since most students are Chinese, it may be best to take your child to another school that offers language classes. Or, arrange to have a friend that speaks your child's language attend so that your child has a friend and can talk and play with someone.
