The Mission of the school and related Vision and Values statements informs our actions and shapes our expectations.
Bromsgrove School Mission Hills is an innovative school that blends best practice from East and West to achieve academic excellence while offering abundant holistic opportunities.
As an internationalised school in Shenzhen, we strongly believe that the inheritance of Chinese culture and traditional virtues should be a fundamental premise of exemplary educational establishments. Integration of the different cultures and ideologies that we uphold and advocate requires children, and indeed all of our stakeholders, to embrace traditional Chinese culture and then integrate into the global community with an open and inclusive heart.
Bromsgrove School is a co-educational independent public school with 550 years history who has excellent student performance and high reputation among schools in the world.
Together, Bromsgrove School and Mission Hills are building the solid foundations to an innovative ‘legacy education’ institution. A School that combines the finest traditions of British and Chinese education with a progressive desire to prepare young people to succeed in the global marketplace. Underpinned by shared values and a deep commitment to academic excellence, the Bromsgrove School Mission Hills shines forth, a lighthouse of mutual respect and cultural cooperation for the modern age.
Bromsgrove School Mission Hills is a modern educational force – a truly bilingual education. We know that it is possible to balance academic rigour with nurture and stimulation. We also know that all young people rise to the expectations you hold of them. That morality matters and creativity counts. That the love of learning can be transformative. We know because we put these principles into practice every day.
At Bromsgrove School Mission Hills we believe that young children have a right to joyful experiences full of awe and wonder. We value and love each child with professionalism and passion.

Bromsgrove School Mission Hills Pre school provides unique bilingual inquiry based curriculum for students to learn and progress through play.
The approach or pedagogy used to deliver the curriculum consists of a balance of inquiry, play, guided instruction and explicit instruction, and the traditional virtues that the school has identified will serve as a building block to guide children as they learn valuable lessons.
Language instruction will not be taught in isolation but will be a natural part of everyday interaction. All students will pursue a blended programme taught in both Chinese (Mandarin) and English.
In our Pre School, we believe that inquiry is a critical building block in the process of learning. Through this focus on inquiry-based learning, the students will begin to develop critical thinking skills. They will begin to "work smarter" .
Play is essential for children's development. In our Pre School, children will have many opportunities to initiate learning and play, as well as take part in more structured play-based learning under the guidance of our experienced teachers.
The state-of-the-art 13 large open-plan classrooms, extensive library, multi-purpose atrium, Music and Dance Room and PE classroom for the Pre School offers a vibrant, exciting and nurturing environment in which children can thrive.
School day officially begins at 08:30 and ends at 15:30. Students can begin arriving at 08:00 for supervised playtime and begin leaving from 15:30 onwards, with supervised playtime till 16:00. CoCurricular Activities are optional and offered on most days of the week.
We believe in children being active learners with natural curiosity. Thus we extend learning beyond the classroom as we want to make the most of the wonderful community and city in which we live.
Our Preparatory School Curriculum follows the framework of the National Curriculum in England, with which content streams found in the Chinese Primary School curriculum are integrated,and seeks to build upon the foundation skills, knowledge and holistic development fostered in Pre School to allow for a smooth transition for students as they move towards the Senior School.
The names Bromsgrove and Mission Hills are synonymous with sporting excellence. Our range of sport is considerable, the Mission Hills facilities are superb, and our expectations high. BMH students should enjoy sport at the highest level they can attain and take from the experience friendships and skills that will last for life.
The time devoted to each language is dependent on the age of the student with a gradual shift as the student advances from the Early Childhood programme, to the Prep School and to the Senior School. In the Prep School (Prep 1 - 6) we aspire to a balance of Chinese/English instruction.
Inquiry is a key pedagogical approach at BMH, aiding the development of children’s critical thinking and problem solving skills. Emphasis is placed on meaning and understanding. Inquiry moves the learner from his or her current level of understanding to a new and deeper level of understanding.
Assessment is an ongoing process and is integral to all teaching and learning with the prime objective to provide purposeful feedback on the learning process.School shall send parents official student learning reports in term I and II.
The state-of-the-art facilities for the Prep School include large open-plan classrooms, an extensive library, atrium / multi-purpose room indoor hall, student cafeteria, dedicated art, dance, drama, and music rooms, science labs and workshops.

It is always the case that students must come first, and systems second. However, good pastoral care – the kind of pastoral care that really does focus on individual issues rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution – must be a carefully monitored system with a structured approach in place to support each child.
Our co-curricular programme is growing all the time, especially in golf where we now have BMH PGA Ascenders and Student Athlete Programmes which provide a Pathway to golfing excellence and University Placements with Golf Scholarships.
Great boarding schools offer students a home, not a place to sleep after work.

We believe in the notion of School as Community and in order to foster a deep sense of community we must begin by accepting the notion that each individual has a part to play. If every member of staff, student and parent is prepared to work in a cooperative mode, to act always in a responsible and respectful manner, to communicate honestly, to be kind to each other so as to build meaningful relationships that go deeper than the operational aspects of the school day, then we can build a successful school community that is engaging and inspirational
