 | Our family prepares to move to hainan due to the work of my husband. We have 3 children of 2, 4 and 6 years old. So far, I haven't found an International (English speaking) school at the Island. Does anyone know if there is one? |

| Hi Ireen, I doubt that there is one there. Haikou would be the most likely spot if any. Wait and see what the locals say but if you have done a comprehensive search and found nothing then that is probably the case. You may be able to get your youngest two into a Chinese Kindergarten that has English lessons (I currently teach in one of those but they are usually only in the larger cities. We have a two year old from Australia who comes in the mornings and one full day each week and he is coping very well) and they will quickly learn Chinese. Your oldest one may have to be home schooled which is not such a bad thing if you have the time. Sorry we can't be of more help. I'll see if I can find you a web site for an interesting school in Haikou that you may be able to contact for more information if nothing else. Where will you be living?? You'll love it there. It's a great island. |

| Hi Ireen, Here is the school I think you may get some good advice from even if they can't take your children. They are in Haikou http://www.hnpls.com/ Have a look at the site and give them a call and see what they know. All the best I came across a blog by a family who have been living on the island since 1993 but I couldn't open the page. You may have better luck. I just googled 'learning Mandarin in Haikou' |

| thanks for your info! I'll check it out. We don't know where we are going to live yet. My husband has to start a business at Hainan and has not yet decided where. In a few weeks we'll visit the island for the first time. So that will be exciting. |

| GUEST60105 | Hi, I am a teacher as is my wife. We are thinking about establishing a school in Hainan teaching the British National Curriculum. We have done this sort of thing before and have learnt that demand is all important. For those of you who now the island, do you think there would be enough demand for a 2 - 4 classroom school in either of the larger cities if the fees were around 70,000 RMB a year. This is how much it costs to pay for qualified teachers and resource the school to a level where the academic outcomes are comparable to other international schools worldwide? We both teach in international schools at the moment. Looking forward to some replies, positive or otherwise. |

| GUESTTHELXI | My husband and i have an opportunity to come and live in Sanya, but I have been trying to find out if there are any schools for expats kids and if they were we would definetely come. There probably will be a few more families that would be interested to relocate to Sanya. There is a group of pilots and their families that have the option to relocate to Sanya or Guangzhou or Xian and from my research on the interenet Sanya looks like an incredible and affordable place. The only problem is that I can't find a school! Let me know what happens, Thelxi |

| Since november 2007 we live in Shenzhen instaed of Hainan. The children go to an international school here, so I am lucky that the children have many kids to play with and I don't have to teach the children myself. I heard people were planning upon stating an international school in Hainan, but maybe it got stuck at the plans.... |

| GUEST20149 | I am also considering a move to Hainan, preferably Sanya. I am looking for an international school for my daughters, grades 1 and 10, and a teaching position for myself. There are a lot of other questions I have about life in Hainan. Would someone who lives or teaches there please respond with more information? I hope to hear from someone soon! |

| GUEST42213 | I live in Haikou now with my wife and two small children, 2 and 5, and our biggest concerns are the lack of international school type education here in Haikou. I for one would say for sure we would be interested in something like this. If you do decide to do it, please let us know!! From what I have found, there are many expatriates who would love to live in Hainan, but schooling is a major issue. I know of many developers who would probably be keen to a partnership with someone willing to develop one of these schools. For sure there are many local schools who would be willing to develop a partnership. |
