  • Being a student at SSIS has made me realise the importance of learning and how to be a lifelong learner. This school has made me want to be the best version of myself. I am regularly given the opportunity to reflect on my mistakes and my achievements, thus developing a growth mindset. The teachers, students, and facilities here come together to create an environment that ensures my success as a student who will successfully learn and become wiser for years to come.

  • I am lucky to be a student at SSIS. Over the years, the school has taught me things beyond just academics. In SSIS, I am offered a variety of extracurricular activities that range from service, and creativity, to activity. Our teachers and classmates encourage each other to participate in these, and it is because of this supportive environment that I have had many new experiences. SSIS has facilitated my development in sport and academic learning, as well as socially. It really is a great place to be.

  • As a parent of a 7th grader attending GSN, I feel very grateful that my son has an opportunity to be a member of a school that is based on love, respect, and kindness. Thank you for creating a community in which every child feels special, for creating an academic environment which lets kids conquer the world and for giving big dreams to little ones.

  • This is a very warm school, the relationship between teachers and students is not so much teachers and students, but more like family. I have two children who have been studying in this school since kindergarten. In addition to learning knowledge and achieving good results, what is more difficult is to learn equality, help, and care in an international environment. GSN provides all of it.

  • Moving my two kids (secondary and primary) to GSN was definitely one of the best decisions we have made. GSN is without a doubt the best school in Ningbo I will ever have the pleasure of having contact with. GSN stands out well above any other school in every possible area (After School Activities, Tribes Program, facilities, etc). It is also the strong team of staff throughout the school and their sheer dedication to their job that will allow my kids to continue to grow and develop in their best way!

  • Thank you to the BIS leadership team, teachers, staff and IT-specialists who provided our children with this distance learning programme. It not just ensures that the students continue with their learning perspectives, it indeed brings a bit of normality and structure into our homes. No-one I’ve been talking to outside of BIS has a school that is so well prepared for this crisis like BIS. Thank you!

  • You can see that BIS is a truly international school – internationality, diversity and open-mindedness can be felt in every hallway, in every classroom. I also like the fact that children learn at a very early age to work together and help each other, and that the latest technology is sensibly integrated.
