I would love learn Chinese. Superficially, the local schools seem to offer this. The reason we chose to send our daughters to an international school is the method of teaching in local schools - large class sizes, emphasis on homework, rote learning and exams from a young age. Also, my husband asked the very important question "when is she going to learn English?". Having an excellent command of the English language is important to us.

We have been very happy with our choice of school.
