Student Testimonial

“Our AP Program is excellent! I gained so much studying at BNDS these three years, not just in terms of acquiring knowledge but also in terms of learning from my teachers. Many of my teachers help us with problems after class and answer basically any question we might have. Compared to other Chinese students who did the Gaokao, we’re better prepared for a college life abroad. It’s relatively easier for us to adapt to academics in college since we took most classes in English. Through these three years, I was exposed to a lot of western culture and ideas and, being in classes taught by different teachers, I learned to better understand different people. Many of the abilities that I picked up in high school at BNDS, such as reading difficult essays, learning economic thinking and writing papers, became indispensable here at college. I am truly grateful to my teachers.”
