guestWith sadness I report that this school has reached bottom. If you're a student who has a parent teaching at the school then you will all of the attention you could ever want - but that attention is at the cost of tuition paying parents and their children. Non certified teachers are abundant and nepotism out of control. Would suggest you seriously look at other schools in Chengdu like CDIS.
