Word from a Parent:
“My son was brought up in the US from kindergarten to elementary. Because Chinese language and culture are important to us, we decided to send him to high school in China. Yuexiao’s grandmother selected BNTA from among many Beijing schools. When he returned to China in June, he knew only about 300 Chinese characters; by November, he was able to write a 700-word essay with good handwriting and expression. He always mentions Ms. Wang when we talk on the phone. Though he’s far from us, he has his grandparents in Beijing and Ms. Wang at school. This makes me very gratified and grateful.”
– Jinpei Wu (US), father of Yuexiao (age 12)
