Our school is a private institution with fee-paying students and its own educational premises.
Our teachers are mainly foreign students and graduates recruited from countries in Europe, Japan and North America who have enjoyed the opportunity to teach, study and travel in China and many of whom were seeking an opportunity to practice their Chinese and/or gain work experience. In 2003, we taught over 2000 Chinese students, aged from 5 to 50 years old.
Wuhu is located on the south side of the Yangtze River with a population of 2.2 million and a history of over 2000 years and is conveniently located to nearby historical and scenic sites such as the Yixian County Three Ancient Villages and the Huangshan Yellow Mountains.
There are convenient transportation links with ferries upstream to the Three Gorges or downstream to Shanghai. It is only a one-hour trip by bus to Nanjing. The city is also connected by rail and bus to many other interesting places in China and by air via Nanjing airport.
The cost of living is very low, only one-third as compared to Beijing or Shanghai. Wuhu is modern city although not as westernised as other large cities in China. The city has a modern downtown area with shopping centres, teahouses, bars and nightclubs. Not all of the city is this modern and so teachers will also be able to experience something closer to the daily life of ordinary Chinese people.
