OUR SOCIAL PURPOSE

At Léman, our students undertake social and environmental activities in communities where they can help, as an important part of contributing to a better future for all children and people around the world. For instance, our students volunteer at Wawu Primary School, a local school for children of migrant workers. Our students build strong relationships with the other children and help teach English.

We also organise charity drives to fundraise, donate clothing, and deliver classroom resources to those in need. Our student-led efforts are complimented by our thriving Léman Family Association, who together fundraise to support children who need heart surgery through Hopeful Hearts; the medical needs of Chengdu Anti-Cancer Association; and animals in need via Animal Asia. 

At LIS Chengdu, all our students participate in our house system – a traditional part of school life from the British education system, where each student belongs to an exciting ‘house’ of peers across year groups, which each compete during sporting and academic events. Each house gives our students a sense of identity, builds their character, and encourages them to develop their teamwork and social skills within the community.

Significantly, charity work is a part of the house system as our students collaborate to support social causes they are passionate about. All four houses sponsor at least four different charities throughout the school year.
