Guangzhou - School Report Question and Answers

C- The school has a free after school program that runs for about 8 weeks per session (3 or 4 sessions, can't remember how many). The program has pros and cons. It includes a lot of unusual offerings, like finger knitting and disc games, rather than traditional sports/music/drama. I think a lot of us wish there were traditional sports programs, like soccer offered all semester. Instead, we sign up for weekend sports at additional high cost. There are also no opportunities to learn instruments so people find teachers outside the school. This year, the school organized a new swim program at additional cost in collaboration with the Guangdong Swimming Association. It is offered 2x/week and children who can already swim receive further instruction. It has been very popular and they plan to expand it next year. - May 2016
