Looking for an area to bring family and school (Suzhou)

Hello:

I'm considering spending Protected content in Suzhou. My company is located in Changshu, but not sure there is the community there i am looking for.

I am looking to bring my wife and 2 children aged 10 and 12 from canada. I am looking for a community that has some other expats and a good area with things in walking distance and ideally near a recommended international school. I don't want a too formal international school... i.e. not one where kids wear ties and is too rigid.

can someone recommend an area and/or school? Ideally one closer to the north that makes my daily trip to Changshu easier.

Thanks!
Peter
