Word from a Parent:
"Every teacher at the school takes full responsibility for helping every child grow with love in their hearts. My two kids already graduated and during their 3 years here, they developed both ther physical and spiritual sides. I truly believe that all the teachers worked hard to help the children gain knowledge, and make lots of improvements in their attitudes and behavior. What’s more, all of their good habits stemmed from the teachers’ contributions. The staff at the school helped the kids develop their personalities through individualizing learning."
– Yuan Li (USA), mother of Xiajia Fan (7) and Yaqing Fan (6)
