When I first learned about Jinqiu International, I went through a few days of intense internal struggle, debating whether to switch paths. I felt the pressure at a regular high school was overwhelming for me. Academically, the workload was comparable, but the stress level was much higher. That's why I wanted to pursue a more relaxed environment where I could achieve better results with the same effort.

First, regarding classmates, everyone got along really well from the start—we were already pretty close by the first day. The learning atmosphere is also great, and I feel like I can build genuine friendships with the teachers. Whenever I want to chat about something, I can just go talk to them directly.

Ms. Xu is fantastic. I think she's a very open-minded teacher. Her support has been especially helpful academically, whether it's math or IELTS preparation.
