The United Experimental School of Ahsju and Livon is the name of the school I have taught at this year.
This school was amazing for so many reasons (the students, the teachers) but the sheer size of this school was incredible. It looks like a shopping centre.
From the cafeteria that can seat at least 800 people to the auditorium that seats over 1,000 people, to the size of the classrooms ~ I have never seen an elementary school this size before.
There are 5 floors, the first being the library, the offices, the cafeteria, auditorium, and the special classrooms. The remaining floors are all classrooms for grade 1 up to grade 9.
It is only two years old so it mostly comes with modern amenities (except modern toilets ~ thank goodness they have handicap toilets for those of us who don’t like squatting).
It really is a sight to see!! I am so proud to have been part of this school!
Yeah, China continues to amaze. With the focus on education which seems an ingrained thing in northeast Asia!

It is so true. Education is the most important thing to them. While I agree with year round school, I do think the kids need at least a week or two with no lessons.

LOL. That’s the trouble. Parents think the school’s slacking if they do not give the children enough to do!
