What parents say about Shu Ren
Shu Ren makes my job raising thoughtful, kind kids a breeze. How do you say that in Chinese? I know! I’ll just ask my six year-old…
– Liz F
This school is absolutely phenomenal. We have a 3 y.o. and 6 y.o. enrolled here and they couldn’t be happier. My 6 y.o. says that she wants to go to Shu Ren for life. There are lots of reasons (elaborated below) that my wife and I highly recommend Shu Ren but the most important one is that my kids love the school and their teachers. It is such a happy and warm place and it really instills a love of learning and going to school. This sentiment is universal amongst the other kids and families.
