HSAS should remain student-centered as it creates the final link in the entire SUSTech educational talent pipeline, from pre-primary to tertiary education. The complete educational paradigm will result in continued innovations in talent training. Yurong GUO said, “I am full of confidence in the future development of HSAS, and I wish for the best!”

HSAS is a public high school invested in, and constructed by, the Shenzhen Municipal Government. It is designed as an experiential learning center. It will explore interdisciplinary and project-based learning to strategically inspire the students’ inherent desire to explore. Within the campus, there are unique centers such as the Institute of Future Education, the STEAM Center, the Future Classroom, and the 3D Printing Research Room.
