Beanstalk International Bilingual School opened a branch campus in Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan, on Dec 18. The campus is located in the city's Chenggong district and will begin giving lessons on March 1, 2016.
According to Zheng Xiaoqi, head of the school's enrollment department, Kunming was chosen as the location of the new campus due to its proximity to South and Southeast Asia and the local government's strong focus on education. "It's our great honor to introduce more education resources to Chenggong district," said Zheng.
As Beijing's first international school, Beanstalk International Bilingual School was founded in 1993 and has eight branch campuses across China. The school employs many qualified teachers from foreign countries and those with experience of studying overseas. The majority of courses taught at the school are taught in English and the school adopts a standard management model to help students develop healthily and rapidly.
