International school at Ningbo for preschooler

Engnar.

Welcome to Ningbo.. I've been here 20 years and seen a few changes.

Expat schools here and foreign language schools are about one thing.. MONEY. .they have to be as they have to sell their services. If you send your kid to one of these schools, the ridiculous amount of money you are spending wll mostly be going on promoting the school..
However at these schools for foreign parents there are the usual cliques and the snobbery you'd expect from all private schools and from what I have seen, the children seem to miss out on both educaton and the wider community in which they live.

My sons go to Chinese schools.. They get a very solid education and have self discipline forced upon them.. Thankfully they are healthy enough to chose the level of self discipline they are happy with. They get only english teeve at home and we never talk in Chinese.

The stuff they seem to get at the private schools is pefunctory and not really value for money.

What they get from these Chinese schools is also a thorough education in Chinese, an in depth immersion in the real world here and to a certain amount, a real understanding of what it is like to be on the other side of racism.

You have to consider what is important.. Your social life with a bunch of expats or the life experiece  available for your children.
