The students are high schoolers who are on an international track. They will be doing their final year of high school at a partner university in the United States, during which time they will research and apply to US colleges.

Our aim is to provide teaching to the highest of standards. WOFLS brings the best of Chinese teaching expertise and combines it with the knowledge of international teachers to provide a unique standard of teaching excellence. 

As Wuhan will be a new program in a new school, there will be both challenges and opportunities. If you’re able to roll with the punches and enjoy being part of something new that is being created, then this could be a great fit for you.
