Shiying and Dayne, Parents of Hailey Ho, Zhong Hua
One thing that stands out about EtonHouse Zhong Hua is the continuity and consistency of the teachers and management. This provides a stable environment which we feel is important for a young child. We also appreciate the regular communication from the school — whether it's updates, parent-teacher meetings, or events that allow us to be involved in Hailey's education. Seeing her come home each day with joy in her eyes and endless chatter about her day reassures us that we made the right choice. Read more here
Tiffany & Wee Kee, Parents of Myra Chew You Ning, Zhong Hua
Our foremost reason for sending both our children to EtonHouse ZhongHua is solely for the Full Mandarin Immersion Programme. As we do not speak Mandarin regularly at home, we really appreciate that the curriculum is delivered entirely in Mandarin by native Mandarin-speaking teachers from China, Taiwan and Singapore, and we firmly believe that this is the best way for children to use and love the language which is not the easiest of languages to pick up.
