Review

As parents whose two minor children attended the RISH Chinese Summer Camp in Shanghai, we feel a civic obligation to report our objective consumer experience. We advise all international and expatriate families to exercise extreme caution.

1. Unprofessional Conduct and Verbal Humiliation by Management:
During the first week of the full-boarding camp, our minor children were subjected to severe public yelling and verbal humiliation initiated by the head/director of this institution. This unprofessional conduct caused measurable psychological distress to our children. The aggressive behavior only saw a temporary shift after our legal representative issued a formal warning call.

2. No Formal Contracts Executed:
Despite charging a premium fee of 48,000 RMB (approx. $7,086.70 USD), this institution failed to provide or execute a formal service contract. Operating without a written agreement is a massive risk for parents: it leaves no clear safety/legal liabilities and allows the management to arbitrarily expel students without any agreed-upon procedures over minor issues. We personally experienced this arbitrary expulsion.

3. Refusal to Issue Legal VAT Invoice (Fapiao):
For our 48,000 RMB (approx. $7,086.70 USD) payment, the organization failed to issue a standard, official Corporate VAT Invoice (Fapiao) required under Chinese tax law. They only provided a self-printed paper receipt stamped with their private entity name ("Shanghai Yunshen Education Technology Co., Ltd.").

We highly question the overall operational compliance of this camp and strongly urge all prospective parents to strictly avoid this organization to protect your children and funds.
