The Barstow School of Kansas City, Missouri has been a KL School since 2014, when headmaster Shane Foster joined with the KL team to found Barstow branch campuses in Ningbo, China, serving hundreds of students in grades K-12. An additional campus in Ningbo (Haishu) was founded in 2015.
At the 2014 NAIS annual conference, Shane Foster co-presented a workshop with a KL Senior Director entitled “American Education Overseas: Exploring Partnership Schools in China.”
Ningbo Hanvos Kent School is an international bilingual school integrating Chinese and Western education, founded jointly by leveraging the educational resources of two century-old schools – Zhejiang Province Zhenhai Middle School and Barstow School in Missouri, USA. The school encompasses three stages: an international bilingual kindergarten, a nine-year consistent bilingual elementary and middle school, and an international high school and specialized regular high school. It fully implements Chinese-English bilingual immersion teaching, creating an integrated Chinese-Western teaching system suitable for both domestic college entrance exams and studying abroad.

“I have started a reading group for the fifteen students with the lowest level of English. After the first week, there was a moment when one student needed help with remembering a word. He looked around for the usual students who could offer help and all he found were students who were also struggling. There was a lot of chattering in Chinese and finally all 15 students looked at me and said “AAAAHHHHH–CHHOOOOO!” They were unable to remember the word “sneeze” and were forced to rely only on each other. Since that moment, they have gained a lot of confidence and made huge improvements. Moments like these are what keep me in the game.”
