How would you describe the facilities at this school? What extra-curricular activities are available?
The school is shabby and run-down with broken tennis nets and a dumpy classrooms. Only a few team sports offered by rubbish teachers who seem to think it is beneath them.
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?
Absolutely nothing. The curriculum is all over the place and some of the teachers are very inexperienced and do what they feel like.
How would you describe the social activities available for parents through this school? Are there parent-teacher organizations?
There used to be a PTA but no more.
What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?
Don't do it. Enrolment has fallen to around 70. Some classes only have 1 or two kids - really bad. They have had four heads of school in four years and all really bad. Horrible school and school board. Much better schools in Ningbo.
