Chinese-Speaking Family Communications Checklist
An ungated review for independent-school admissions and communications teams improving the path from Chinese-language questions to a school visit or inquiry.
This is an AMB working method, not a research finding or a guarantee. The checklist is available in full without an email submission. It uses your institution’s verified information and public observations.
1. Separate family contexts
Distinguish nearby Chinese-speaking families from international boarding families. Record which information each group needs and which admissions team owns the next step. Avoid assumptions based only on language.
2. Check the decision answers
Review school fit, age or grade entry, visit arrangements, application steps and support information against the school’s approved sources. Explain where a family should ask a question the page cannot answer.
3. Review language and consistency
Compare the Chinese-language explanation with the official school information. Check dates, names, fees and eligibility wording. Have an authorized reviewer approve material changes; translation alone does not establish accuracy.
4. Check trust and permission
Use real institutional evidence and permitted images. Do not repurpose private messages or student records as testimonials. Clearly identify official school communication and disclosed partnerships.
5. Follow the inquiry path
Check the next admissions step from a phone, including links, response ownership and routing. Keep personal information in the school’s approved channels. Do not require an email address to read this checklist.
6. Close the loop
Record: family question | approved answer | channel | gap | admissions owner | next action. Review recurring questions and unresolved handoffs with Admissions; measure completeness and response ownership rather than promising enrollment gains.
Review with your team
A completed review should produce a short list of verified gaps, named owners and decisions to make. Recheck only when information or the inquiry path changes.
