SCHOOL DESCRIPTION AND ROLE

In the 6 years since our foundation in 2012, LUC’s reputation has grown rapidly, to the point where we now enjoy an excellent reputation in the community and our children are admitted to the finest schools in Shanghai and beyond. The children at LUC range from 2 to 6 years of age and come from a range of cultures.

A positive environment creates the conditions that enable them to flourish, develop and achieve, in addition to helping create confident, well balanced children.

Job description:
