Shanghai United International School

It is greedy school ,they always want to dig money from parents .

SUIS try to raise up tuition since second year from 60,000RMB to 80,000RMB 2007, all parents united to fight , school have to give up .

My 2 kids were in Shanghai United International School

The nightmare started since second semester , daughter got the note from school that said her English level was not eligible , need to pay 12,000 RMB extra for English class , around 50% students need extra paid English class . the school principal Roger Sinnett had meeting with parents one by one , push them to pay the fee. Was my daughter really such bad , her math was best in the class .So we did not pay , at the end of semester , school sent a letter , told her that she could not upgrade . we had no choice to move her to another school.
There is school psychologist, She purport helping kids for free, after a couple of times talking and activity with my son and , she tried to sell a ADHD test for my son , it cost 6,000 RMB , I told her I need to think about , she persuaded that how good and useful the test is.

Finally she and the home teacher Andreas Norretranders designed a another solution .they suggest me to hire a assistant to help my son in the class who is SUIS teacher;s wife . I need to pay the assistant 24,000 RMB/ year . I accepted it .but the others students and parents didnt feel comfortable about that , the assistant tried to show she did good job , she told the answer to my son at the exam. I stopped hiring the assistant , Right away , SUIS principal told me that assistant is necessary .I had no choice.

SUIS teachers work in the school with angry . they talked really bad about SUIS on forum . Do you trust giving your children to the staff who work with bitterness?
