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

The facilities are marginal at this school. Administration hires un certified staff. The building is not properly heated and/or air conditioned. The clean air policy is a joke. These are the main reason why we chose to transition to a different school in Shanghai. The school is Chinese owned and you might understand what that entails.

Some teachers are passionate about their job and they are great. For us it is not acceptable that they hire uncertified teachers..

The PTA is very active.

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

No
