After more than a year of development, the member schools have all achieved remarkable results. The five-year-old experimental school is devoted to promoting the internationalization of education and was initially formed around a specific school culture. The four-year-old experimental second primary school continues to explore and innovate in curriculum reform, learning space and information technology.
In 2018, both schools passed the evaluation for Shenzhen compulsory education. The one-year-old kindergarten has created a positive situation for colleges and kindergartens to develop curriculum together. It has successfully passed the evaluation of the first-level kindergartens in Nanshan District and is improving various facilities to meet provincial standards.
