English Language

The non-Chinese speaking students of our school account for about one third of the total number of students. They are mainly from the Philippines, Pakistan, Nepal, Vietnam and other countries. Our school acts as a tiny international city offering global connectivity. Both the local and non-Chinese speaking students study and grow up happily together.
