"I would strongly advise against it. While there are several amazing teachers who somehow manage to work at this school, it is under resourced and mismanaged by a dishonest administration. More than half of the staff has left two years in a row, several of whom have decided to break contracts just to get out of the school. As always, the kids are great, but there are other, better options available in Xi'an," commented one expat when asked about Xi'an Hi-Tech International School in Xi'an.
