China's school options

Does your company move employees with school-age children in, out and around China on a regular basis? It might be helpful for your company to know the types of international schools available for them once they arrive. Let's take a look at the four different types of schools China offers:

1.) International schools for foreign workers 

2.) Sino-foreign schools which are joint ventures between Chinese owners and foreign educational companies for both expatriates and Chinese students 

3.) Chinese/English private schools which are owned and attended by Chinese students

4.) Chinese-owned public or state schools which follow an international curriculum 

Whether you have an employee going on assignment in China or have employees moving intra-China, having knowledge of the various school options is important to understand. Based on this knowledge, you'll be able to maximize the success of your assignment programs by aligning the right employee to the right assignment as well as having a better understanding of local benefits available in the employee's new location.
