CAMPUS COMMUNITY AND FACILITIES
Bromsgrove School Mission Hills is located in the vibrant city of Shenzhen and nestled within the Mission Hills' 20 square kilometres of serene and green landscapes and surrounding dynamic community, offering a wealth of world-class facilities and experts to support students' holistic education.
Our school is located within the Mission Hills Shenzhen resort, which, together with its adjoining Mission Hills Dongguan resort, stretches over 20-square kilometres. This expansive complex is known as the world's largest golf resort, with twelve 18-hole championship courses designed by golf's greatest legends and architects. The resort offers top-tier golf and tennis academies, Terra Art Ecological Park, clubhouses, hotels and spa facilities. Over three decades, several million trees have been planted and water features added to create an unrivalled pastoral setting, with many rolling hills and nature trails to hike and enjoy, making this an exceptional and tranquil green oasis and a National 5A Tourist Destination. Further, the overall resort is a year round sports haven for budding sports enthusiasts and professional athletes alike.
Opened in 2015 and adjacent to our school is the area's only H.O.P.S.C.A. (Hotels, Offices, Park, Shopping, Culture, and Art) development. MH Centreville is the centerpiece; a one-stop shopping, entertainment, leisure and business hub, featuring more than 200 international brands, including a large NHL (National Hockey League) and ISU (International Skating Union) competition standard ice skating rink (managed by Ice Castle International Training Centre); a Brunswick Bowling Centre; multiple fitness, dance and personal training clubs; and numerous learning centres catering to children across all ages.
By car, it is only 30 minutes from Shenzhen City Centre, 1 hour from Hong Kong airport and 1.5 hours from Guangzhou. A nearby MTR station is due to open in 2020.

The Prep and Senior School boasts specialist Science, ICT and Design Labs, a state-of-the-art learning Kitchen, Library spaces, and extensive outdoor sports and play areas. Additional buildings for the Senior School construction are under planning.
The design features across all of our school facilities are based upon the following premises:
- Design Goal – build an iconic school structure that reflects both the great traditions of Western college architecture with the natural green and open beauty of the Mission Hills Resort area; create an inspiring and aesthetically pleasing environment, which enhances the personal wellbeing of all who use it.
- Exterior – emphasise the horizontal with a large roof that floats over the base. Design themes of water, sand, green vegetation and other natural materials evident throughout.
- Interior spaces – contemporary and modern in nature, creating a light, bright and airy atmosphere.
- Specialists rooms and equipment - dedicated for art, dance, drama, and music, science and mechanics.
