About the School:
Opening in June 2020, our client school is a mixed-age International Nursery, Kindergarten and Play-and-Learn center that caters for children from 0-6 years old. It aims to provide an immersive English learning environment, a solid foundation in early childhood social-emotional learning, and a safe space for children entrusted by parents. Referenced with the British EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stages) standards, its curriculum demonstrates best practices of both Chinese and western pedagogies and philosophies. Children are not only expected to grow academically, they also learn to express ideas and begin to form a lifelong love for learning.
“To become your best self,” as the school motto indicates, it values the education of the whole child, and to achieve so, places an emphasis on the collaboration of school, parents, and the community in establishing a positive and progressive learning environment.
The school is founded under the Changsha education group Xiang Shan, who endeavors to build an eco-system for learning which covers nursery, K-12, professional education, and extended business units for teacher training and parenting workshops.
Thinking of applying but are afraid of language barriers? Not only the working language at international/bilingual schools is English, but there is also an expat community (people, food, shops and more) in most of the Chinese modern cities where these schools are located. Not to mention many Chinese young people can now communicate well in English. Rarely would you feel not speaking Chinese is an issue.
