School Description:

Bromsgrove School Mission Hills is planned as a co-educational, bilingual (English and Mandarin) through-train day school for students in Kindergarten to University entrance. Our partnership with Bromsgrove School, UK, brings the depth and breadth of expertise and knowledge a historically successful school affords, elevated with the passion and pioneering spirit of a newly established school. Our goal is to serve a growing number of Chinese nationals and expatriates in the Shenzhen region who have an interest in having their children attend a pre-eminent dual language internationally accredited school.

Our pupils follow a blended bilingual programme with English first language teachers and Chinese bi-lingual teachers in every class in the Pre-School (KG 1, 2 and 3) and the Prep-Junior School (Prep 1, Prep 2 and Prep 3). Following the successful model of excellence of our partner school, Bromsgrove School UK, from Prep 4 onwards pupils are taught by subject specialists following our blended curriculum. Chinese, Mathematics and Morality are taught using Chinese language. Humanities, Music and Musical Theatre use a blend of English and Chinese. Science, Computer Science, Design Technology, Art and PE are taught in English. As we progress to IGCSE and A' levels the pupils increasingly study in English in order to ensure they are well prepared for IGCSE examinations where the language used is English. Nevertheless, we still keep their Chinese language skills strong.
