Caring Community | Parent Sharing: CIS is the Ideal Path to International Education

In education choices, every parent hopes to find a school that not only meets their child's academic needs but also focuses on their overall development and growth. At CIS, we strive to provide such an environment for every student and family.

We had the privilege of interviewing Nastya, a CIS parent whose two children, aged 5 and 11, are currently enrolled in CIS's kindergarten and primary school. She shared her journey of moving from overseas to Foshan, choosing a school, and watching her children adapt to campus life.

Nastya: "My family moved to China, Foshan last year. Choosing the right school for my kids was of great importance during that period. We were lucky to find out CIS , which matched our expectations with its native English-speaking teachers, friendly environment, and excellent facilities for holistic education.

My son is 11 and my daughter is 5. This was our first experience enrolling in an international school. Naturally, I was concerned about cultural integration, academic performance, and my children’s ability to adapt to a completely new environment."

Nastya: "To my great surprise, my kids became easily involved in school life thanks to the variety of extracurricular activities (such as sports, music, arts) and school-related activities (such as teamwork, personal projects, scavenger hunts)."

"These activities are organized by the professional and enthusiastic teaching staff, who are always ready to support and encourage the students. School life is never boring or stressful for them. My son and daughter are always happy to attend school whenever they can."

Nastya: “I truly value the English-speaking environment and the diverse classmates from different countries. This positively influences my children’s growth and integration, especially when they share their viewpoints and collaborate during lessons."

"My kids have also learned about foreign customs and traditions. Another highlight is the diverse collection of booksin the school library, which encourages them to borrow books regularly and read according to their age and interests."

Nastya: "One more important thing I appreciate is the close cooperation between the school and parents. The school has launched the Teachers Parents Association, which provides helpful feedback and facilitates future improvement in the educational process."

Nastya: "To sum up, I must confess that CIS has exceeded our expectations! The school’s vibrant atmosphere and dedicated staff have undoubtedly allowed my children to reach their full potential."

"I am especially thankful to the homeroom teachers, who create an inspiring and encouraging atmosphere for the students. This is the key to success for my children’s happy future."

CIS is more than just a school—it's an international cultural community. Here, students and families from around the world come together to learn, connect, and grow. CIS is dedicated to providing a diverse, inclusive, and academically excellent environment for students from all cultural backgrounds. This unique atmosphere makes CIS one of the top choices for quality education in Foshan, paving the way for students' global success.
