The new Nantong State Foreign Language School recently announced that it will open its doors for business in September after construction has been completed and full preparations have been made, according to local officials.

Located in the Pingchao high-speed railway new town in Tongzhou district – administered by Nantong city in East China's Jiangsu province – the 6.7-hectare school is a K12 (kindergarten to 12th grade) international school, funded by the local government and managed by the Suzhou Lunhua Education Group.

The arrival of the Nantong State Foreign Language School is expected to further balance the distribution of high-quality education resources in the areas along the Yangtze River, in an initiative conducive to attracting high-end industries and personnel.

Construction of the campus is expected to be completed in May and it will start operating on Sept 1.
