Is the International Department of Shanghai Union Bilingual School good?

Xiehe Bilingual accepts Chinese and foreign students, while Yew Chung and American schools only accept foreign students.

The tuition fee of Xiehe Bilingual School is relatively low, and the tuition fee for the primary school is at least 50,000 yuan per year.

If the financial conditions allow it, of course I would choose Yew Chung or an American school. (American schools are relatively remote, YCIS is in Gubei)

If you are Chinese or have one parent who is Chinese and don’t want your children to give up Chinese, choose Xiehe.

My child is in the second grade of the International Department of Xiehe Bilingual. When it comes to teaching quality, I think it is difficult to measure. The progress of Chinese is very fast. I think it is much more difficult than when I went to school, so Most of the children in the class cannot keep up with the rhythm, but the teacher will not embarrass the students.

English and mathematics are both taught by foreign teachers. Mathematics is relatively easy, and English is not difficult, but it involves a wider range of subjects, such as understanding nature, character development, etc. It is not just about learning texts and words.

The homework is relatively small, and there is Chinese every day. There are English and math assignments every week, and sometimes science extension assignments. Some children in the same class cannot keep up with English and must take extra English classes on weekends.

My husband is an American. He thinks that the Concordia International Department has too much homework. He said that he had not done any homework before the third grade of elementary school. This is a foreigner’s view and is for reference only.
