• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Families of Sias Families are an integral part of Sias culture. Many of our teachers either started a family in China or came to Sias with young children. With Sias' relaxed workload, many parents say they enjoy significantly more time with their children while living here in China than they could in their home country. The foreign teacher apartment building (Peter Hall) offers apartments of various sizes to accommodate different families. The children enjoy playing together in communal areas such as the lobby or back garden of Peter Hall. Children can even attend the primary school at Sias with Chinese children their own age! The third-culture-kid (TCK) experience can foster cultural understanding, communication skills, and empathy. For myself (@izbiss), being born in South Korea gave me the confidence to move to China in my mid-twenties. What about you? Did you grow up as a TCK? Did your parents hold a passport in one country and an address in another? What challenges and benefits helped to shape you in your adult life? #tck #thirdculturekid #whynotchina #expatkids #lifeoverseas #expatlife #lifeinchina #SiasUniversity

  • Not to brag, but... we have the MOST talented teachers here at Sias. @jonathanfwatts and his wife @leeruthwatts had the crowd on their feet during their Sinatra-style performance of L-O-V-E for the America night performance of culture week. 💃 Check our story for the video! ~From Lee Watts~ L is for the way you look at me. ❤️ So every year our school holds International Culture Week. It shows off many different parts of cultures around the world. It also means the foreigners get to perform. Jon sang L.O.V.E. and I danced. We need to perform together more often. The students LOVE romantic stuff so they went crazy. It was so fun. #cultureweek2019 #SiasUniversity #whynotchina #teachabroad #lifeoverseas #sinatra #natkingcole #oldiesmusic #50saesthetic #50smusic
