To receive a Hong Kong education, you don't have to be a cross-border student, Victoria Kindergarten is the choice of many Hong Kong education supporters. Founded in 1965, Victoria Education Hong Kong has opened 9 kindergartens in Hong Kong, attracting many children of celebrities. In 2001, Hong Kong Victoria opened a kindergarten in Shenzhen for the first time, located in Huangpu Yayuan. So far, there are three Victoria Gardens in Shenzhen, all of which are located in Futian District.
The three Victoria Gardens in Shenzhen are all IB-PYP schools (Huangpu Yayuan Campus and Futian Campus have not yet been officially accredited), and each semester has 4 thematic inquiry units, each unit lasts for four weeks, and the curriculum revolves around the same theme, and teachers lead children to interdisciplinary learning from different dimensions. With a background in Hong Kong, Victoria Park attaches great importance to English and uses Jolly Phonics to teach children English, which is a comprehensive phonics teaching system that aims to let children know the 42 main sounds of English, and after mastering the pronunciation, children will gradually be able to spell English words on their own, laying the foundation for future English learning. In terms of reading, Victoria Park has its own reading system, coupled with Columbia University's literacy program, which provides reading materials by level and level, which is very inspiring for developing reading habits and English reading skills.
Victoria Park adopts a four-year setup, which is divided into small classes, small classes, middle classes and large classes, with a class size of 25 students and a small, medium and large class of about 30 students. Each class is equipped with 3 teachers and 1 childcare, including 2 middle school teachers, 1 foreign teacher, and 1 childcare worker. Foreign teachers follow the class all day, most of them are from Canada and other English-speaking countries, with a university degree or above, and the teachers are stable.
According to the kindergarten, the tuition fee for 2018 has not yet been determined, and according to the standard of 2017, the tuition fee is about 30,000 yuan per semester. In addition to the high tuition fee, the interview is the biggest hurdle for admission to Victoria Park. Parents and children will be interviewed separately, parents will be interviewed with the principal and school manager, and the performance of children playing alone will be evaluated, and the interview acceptance ratio in previous years is as low as 1:10, and the competition is very fierce.
