What are the schools in China like?
When we asked about the schools in China, they said...
"All children need to be assessed before starting at school so it would be helpful to speak to the Admissions Dept. to see how they can help you arrange for this. A tour of the school would be recommended so that prospective parents can meet the heads of school and get to know the school better. The Admissions Dept. will also help with housing choices and bus routes so that you can plan further," commented one expat when asked about The British School of Guangzhou in Guangzhou.
"Look closely at other options like CDIS.
