Founded in 2002 within Changning district, Livingston American School (LAS) educates 650 children from different countries around the world and includes separate bilingual Korean and Japanese kindergartens. However, the school’s focus is largely American and LAS was the first school in China to implement an American educational system from pre-school through 12th grade.
Classes follow California’s public school curriculum and standards, something especially beneficial for those looking to pursue higher education in America. For students not fluent in English, special intensive ESL classes (in addition to regular English instruction) are on offer to enable them to become proficient and participate in regular class activities in the shortest possible time.
