FAQ

What parents ask most,
answered up front.

My child attends a public school. Can we still join?
Yes. The One School does not require your child to leave school. We help with how time outside school is used, how school and outside learning fit together, and how each year's education budget is spent.
Do we have to homeschool or switch to half days?
No. How your child attends school is your family's decision. We can help you weigh the pros and cons. One note: during compulsory schooling, any change in attendance should be agreed with the school and follow local regulations.
How is this different from tutoring or after-school care?
We don't teach lessons, drill exercises or check homework every day. We make judgment calls and adjustments: where your child is stuck, what to solve first, how to arrange their time and where the money goes. When subject tutoring is needed, we help you decide what kind, and for how long.
Who are the learning strategists? Is Hua Zhang involved?
Every child has a dedicated learning strategist responsible for assessment, planning and weekly check-ins. All strategists are trained in The One School method and work under ongoing supervision. Hua Zhang leads the method and strategist training, and personally conducts each end-of-semester review.
Can you guarantee better grades or admissions results?
No, and we won't make that promise. What we can deliver: problems seen clearly, plans that can actually be done, a check-in every week and changes on record.
How do weekly check-ins work? What if my child is young?
They're online. Your child and the strategist review the week together, find the sticking points and decide what to change. Parents join for younger children; the older the child, the more they lead.
We live outside China. What about time zones?
No problem. Everything is online, and check-ins and meetings are scheduled at times that suit both sides.
What if it doesn't feel right partway through?
First we'll work out why and adjust the plan together. Specific terms and refund rules are set out in the service agreement signed at enrollment.
Are there in-person events in my city?
Yes. The AI Future School Alumni Association holds gatherings in major Chinese cities every year; in 2026, events took place in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Zhengzhou and more. Each is a half-day of talks by guests and students, plus time to get to know other families.
