3. 5 Primary School Openings: 
   SiasU operates a Chinese Primary school. The foreign faculty teaches English
   and only needs to be there during the time they are teaching, and can come
   and go when not teaching the class. In this position, there is less in-class Chinese
   language support. Each year another grade level is added to the primary school.
   Fall 2020 there will be grades 1-8. We have five foreign faculty working in the
   Primary School teaching English through song, activities and playtime. Read more

   Ambassadors are full-time faculty who also capture expat faculty, university 
   students, and university international student lifestyles, testimonials, and
   highlights through video, photos, and blog articles. Their joint efforts can
   make a video like this:
