About Suzhou
Suzhou is a city of two halves. Downtown, old Suzhou is full of canals, stone bridges, pagodas and is famous for its ancient gardens dating back to the Song Dynasty. But it is also a modern city with good roads, rail links, an ever expanding underground metro system and modern apartments. On the east side of the Old City is Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP), where the school is located. Despite the name, this area also has canals, is very green with wide roads and plentiful parks. The lake in the centre is great for walking, running or biking around. Most foreigners live in this area of the city where the infrastructure is excellent.
The high speed trains mean Shanghai is only half an hour away and you can get to Beijing in about 5 hours, making it a great location for exploring the rest of China. Nearby airports are in Wuxi and Shanghai Hongqiao (45 minutes) while Shanghai Pudong airport is approximately 2 hours by car.
Our client is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all the students in their care and expects all applicants to share this commitment.
