Schools are responsible for transforming our next generation into the future caretakers of the world. BASIS International & Bilingual Schools Wuhan is a community-minded school focused on enriching the lives and opportunities of the students, families, and faculty who are a part of it.

Educating the treasured minds of our youth is one of the greatest endeavors one could seek out and one I feel I was personally called to. And when one is seeking out treasure, it helps to have a map to give guidance and direction. As the old adage goes, “X marks the spot” and I have several marks of excellent teaching and learning that I hope to inform the culture and practice at BASIS International & Bilingual Schools Wuhan.

Excitement, Expectations, Experimentation, Expansion, and Exchange are the keys to our culture and practice. Excitement to be in school from both students and faculty. Clear expectations facilitate the greatest amount of learning. School should be a haven for students and faculty to experiment in their studies and practice knowing they are supported in their efforts. We can always do better through learning, organization, continual reflection of our practice, and dialogue. Finally, magic happens when teachers talk. Whether it is through informal discussions over lunch, a quick chat in the hallway, or through organized professional learning communities—teachers collaborating improves student outcomes by opening the door to new ideas and perspectives.

To summarize, if you feel called to teaching and are seeking new opportunities, I encourage you to look into BASIS International & Bilingual Schools Wuhan, it may just be the next destination you were looking to grow your career.

Living in Wuhan

Living in Wuhan offers a well-balanced mix of affordability, authenticity, and modern convenience. With one of the highest savings potentials among our school locations, the cost of living is very reasonable, making housing, dining out, transportation, and daily activities accessible and stress-free.

Often described as a melting pot of Chinese culture, Wuhan provides a deeply immersive experience while still offering the comforts of a major city. It’s more relaxed and less overwhelming than megacities like Shanghai or Beijing, making it an ideal place to begin a China experience or to slow down after time in busier urban centers. While English is less commonly spoken, locals are warm, curious, and especially welcoming when visitors make an effort to connect.

Wuhan’s central location makes travel easy, with high-speed rail reaching cities like Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou in about three hours and direct international flights to destinations across Asia, Europe, and the U.S. Daily life is simple thanks to affordable Didi rides, an expanding metro system, growing coffee and microbrewery scenes, and convenient mall culture with international dining and shopping option.

For expats and educators, it’s a city that feels authentic, well-connected, and easy to call home.
