Students
The students come from all over Gloucestershire. They are mainly from Gloucester and Cheltenham. Some come from as far as Ross-on-Wye and Malvern.
Teachers
There are 6 regular teachers for the children's classes and 4 teachers for the adult classes. It is always difficult to keep teachers for long period. However, we are fortunate that 4 teachers are local residents. We are able to recruit qualified teachers from China who come to Gloucestershire University to study. All of the teachers are trained, qualified and experienced professionals.
Academic achievements
We run GCSE and A Level classes in Mandarin for children and adults. Most candidates achieved excellent results grading from A*- B.
Progress
From only one class at the beginning, to the present 25 classes, the school has expanded enormously. Furthermore, we run more classes in our new Chinese Centre in Cheltenham for adults and children during weekdays.
