About Us: We currently operate over 50 bilingual Montessori kindergartens throughout China as well as a K-12 International School in Beijing. We're headquartered in Beijing, China and serve expatriate and local families seeking to give their children a head start through international-standard early education programs in our International (English only) or Bilingual (English & Chinese) classrooms. We are recognized by the Chinese government as a National Top 10 Educational Institute and host China's only indigenous AMS /MACTE Montessori credentialing program. Our school is a collaboration of experts in the fields of education, research, and school management established by alumni from top universities, with representatives of international Montessori organizations. Since our founding, we have utilized educational philosophies and models of successful school management from around the world in improving China's early education sector. About Wuhan City: Wuhan has and exciting history but is also now a fast-developing modern city complete with Western style restaurants, bars and shopping. Commercial areas are interestingly juxtaposed with remnants of the past. Parks featuring ancient Chinese architecture, bustling night markets and hutongs (alleyways) with cheap food, drinks and shopping have helped retain the unique flavor and history of the city. The cost of living in Wuhan is very low; it costs just CNY 2 for a beer, CNY 3 for a bowl of noodles and CNY 1.5 for a bus ticket. Wuhan is a foodie's delight - foods such as hot dry noodles (reganmian) and soup dumplings (xiaolongbao) are famous across the province. One of the best things about Wuhan is that it is connected to all major transportation lines throughout the country. There's a high speed train to Beijing, Shanghai, Changsha, Nanjing and Guangzhou so a short trip on the weekend is fast and convenient. There are also sleeper trains that connect to virtually every other major city in China.
