Cities / Beijing / Etonkids International Educational Group

Etonkids International Educational Group



  • The public review pool is small and centred on the bilingual Montessori model. Parents describe genuine Montessori practice and an emotionally settled environment for under-sixes.
  • One American father said "Etonkids thrives on genuine care and love for its students" and noted his children "would come home excited to tell my wife and I about what new discoveries they made with their teachers".
  • Another parent, after trying "several other kindergartens", said it was where their daughter "finally fits in" and the first time she heard her say "Mommy, I want to go back to school".
  • Staff side picture is harder. Teacher reviews sit around across 66 reviews, and teachers cite a years-old "scandal at Eton Kids" as the main thing surfacing in TEFL searches, without describing it.
  • The group runs more than 50 campuses across 18 cities, so quality is likely campus-specific and the parent voices above are individual rather than systemic.

Positives

  • Montessori practice and pastoral feel. Parents say the Montessori method is genuinely applied and children settle quickly

Considerations

  • Staff experience. Glassdoor average is low and Reddit TEFL searches surface an unspecified historic scandal
  • Group scale and campus variation. More than 50 campuses across 18 cities, so experience likely varies by location
