Hi zlif23,

Thanks a lot.

I think KIA might be the only accredited international school in Kunming. I believe classes are taught in English with some supplemental Chinese language classes also available. Below is their contact info from the ad on this site:

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the website,I reckon even that said to be a non-profit school but the school fee is just that high,I think not many parents can afford to send their kids there,it seems like a "money talks" I supposed.

I think (not sure though) that the school might offer assistance or scholarships based on individual situations. You might still want to check with them to see if there is any type of assistance available for your situation before you decide.

Everything I know about the school suggests that they maintain very high standards in curriculum and faculty. I have also heard that plans are in the works for a new $2.5M USD campus (maybe for fall '09 semester?) Of course running a legitimate, quality, accredited school is not inexpensive, and the costs are spread to a relatively small number of students (I do not think the school can legally be open to Chinese national students per Chinese gov't regulations?). I have known several families who have or had children enrolled there and they have all seemed very satisfied.

Additionally (and I only have very limited knowledge on this topic) but I think KIA's normal fees are about the same as or perhaps a bit lower than other comparable intenational schools (key word = comparable). I am not affiliated with the school or anyone at the school by the way :) Just sharing info I have picked up through friends and around town - and as such, also cannot guarantee the complete accuracy of this info. Hope it helps a little though.

My understanding is that they will not hire teachers who are not Protestant Christian, or at any rate they try very hard not to.
