Hi Eion
Adding to the previous post. The other more professional staff members left too. It just wasn’t the place it used to be.
Good Luck

Hi Eion
To be honest. It was a great place until the great teachers left.
Good Luck

For Parents
Hanova International School (XiAn, China) is turning from bad to worse. School has a lot of unofficial holidays dedicated to teacher training. Can’t they do it during the school holidays? They force parents to pay a lot of extra fees that are unreasonable. We pay computer fees, but there were no computer lessons. We pay field trip fees when there is no field trip. This is a lousy school. They even have pornography books in the school library. This is not acceptable for me. If you happen to be in this School, watch your invoices, they will always quietly over charge you in areas that you may over look like exchange rates and lunch fees which you tell them not to include. If your company pays, they make sure you check the invoices as they will always overbill. They have no textbooks and are quite disorganized. Other schools like XiAn International School are a better choices. If you live in the northern part, there is a Christian international called Bo Ai school there. Avoid whenever possible Hanova. Just beware that they never keep their promises.

For Teachers
Hanova International School (XiAn, China) lacks the essentials of true international school. It is run by a Local Chinese Management who seeks to turn the school into a money making machine. Quality education and customer service is going down with cost cutting to maximize profit. Although there is an English principal, he cannot overwrite management decision. The environment is now non-organic and very bureaucratic. So make sure you get a good deal before you make a the jump.
