A well-deserved top card for private schools. In the hearts of Shenzhen parents, Donghai Affiliated Primary School (hereinafter referred to as Donghai Primary School), a school of Shenzhen Foreign Chinese, is not only a school, but also a rather mysterious existence. There is only one way to enroll: to be the owner of the Donghai Garden Community for more than 2 years. The housing prices in the community are all above 110,000/m2, all of which are large units, with a total price of tens of millions, and often the houses are sold out immediately after they are released. For ordinary families, they can only look forward to the school and sigh.
The main reason why Tokai Elementary School is so popular is its admission rate. Shenzhen Foreign Chinese Junior High School is one of the best public junior high schools in Shenzhen, as the primary school of Shenzhen Foreign School, it has a unique advantage to enter the junior high school of the school, and the number of admission places is much higher than that of other primary schools every year. In the 2017 junior high school recruitment examination, a total of 50 students from Donghai Primary School were admitted to Shenzhen Foreign Junior High School; This number was 53 in 2016 (including 17 escorts) and 57 in 2015 (including 13 escorts), with an admission ratio of about 50%, far ahead of other primary schools. Therefore, as long as you enter Tokai Elementary School, your grades should not be too bad, and you basically do not need to worry about going on to higher education in the future.
Perhaps because of the low pressure to go on to higher education, Tokai Elementary School and its parents do not pay much attention to the various cup competitions. In the Hua Cup, which is regarded as a stepping stone to junior high school, only one or two students from Donghai Primary School win awards every year. However, it must be reminded that since March 2018, the Ministry of Education has completely suspended all kinds of subject competitions in the compulsory education stage, so parents do not need to worry about the results of the school's cup competitions now.
Tokai Elementary School has an international approach to teaching, with about 40 students per class, and 6 tables are arranged in a U-shape facing the blackboard to facilitate group discussions. Whether in the classroom or in normal times, the school places great emphasis on the formation of discipline rules and study habits, requiring neat dress, proper writing posture, not being late, and correcting previous mistakes before writing homework. Therefore, the academic style of Donghai Primary School is very positive, and the students feel polite and energetic.
English has always been the strongest subject at Tokai Elementary School, with about 7 English lessons and 1 speaking class per week. The textbook is based on Hong Kong Longman, and the teaching progress is relatively fast, and the fifth grade students have reached the English level of the second grade of public junior high school. The school strives to create an English atmosphere and provide students with opportunities to practice English. As a result, the students of Tokai Elementary School have won the special prize and the first prize many times in the National Elementary School Students' English Speaking Competition and the National Primary and Secondary School Students' English Proficiency Contest in recent years.
At the same time, Donghai Primary School also attaches great importance to the cultivation of students' comprehensive quality. The school has set up a "second classroom", including wind music, pottery, table tennis, Go, chess, taekwondo and other interest courses, and also regularly holds foreign language festivals, art festivals, science and technology festivals, and sports festivals, which fully meet the personalized development of students.
In terms of life, the conditions provided by Donghai Primary School can only be regarded as worthwhile. Each class in the lower grades has a life teacher, and the school has a free daycare, but the conditions are simple, and the mattress is spread on the floor. School usually ends at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the school bus departs at 4:15, with a total of 7 routes.
