Changsha WES Academy (CWA) is the first and only international school located in Hunan Province that uses English as the primary language of instruction. In order to attract more foreign investors to Changsha City and Hunan Province at large, the Changsha National Economic and Technical Development Zone Administrative Committee (CETZAC) decided that it was necessary to establish a quality international school for the children of its foreign investors. Thus, CWA was established in cooperation with Worldwide Education Services (WES Group), to provide an international education for the children of expatriate and SAR families. Located in Xingsha, an eastern suburb of Changsha City, CWA is a co-educational day school for foreign children. Currently, CWA offers classes from children from age 3 to 17 (grade 10) and will start grade 11, offering Cambridge A-Levels in August 2017. As the international community in the Changsha area grows, CWA intends to expand upwards and eventually offer classes through Grade 12.
