Shenzhen's educational resources have always been seriously insufficient, and according to the Ministry of Education, there will be a shortage of 61,000 public primary school places in 2018. As a supplement to public education, the municipal government has invested a lot of money to support private primary and secondary schools. Rao is so, many good schools are still hard to find, and the difficulty of admission is even far higher than that of public famous schools, such as Baishida Primary School. Every year, during the admissions interview, the school is crowded with parents and children, and the whole school is bustling like a bazaar.

The quality of teaching is the primary consideration for many parents when choosing a school. Besta operates in small class sizes of 28 to 32 students to ensure that every student is well taken care of. At the same time, the hierarchical class system is implemented, that is, on the basis of the original class system, it is divided into different levels according to students' learning ability and interests, and different teaching strategies and evaluation methods are adopted in a targeted manner, so that each student can get better development within their own adaptability. Besta has carried out a drastic reform of Chinese teaching, and the content of textbooks only accounts for a small proportion of it, and more courses are developed independently to improve reading ability. The school pays special attention to creating a reading environment, and each class has a "class bookcase", and even a small kiosk at the school gate has books for students to read when they wait for their parents to pick them up. Besta's English teaching is further reduced to "small classes", each class is reduced to 14 to 16 students, sitting around the carpet and teaching in English, learning the language through reading and communicating.

But don't think that Besta students are nerds who only take exams. Its science courses often go beyond the content of textbooks and require students to have hands-on experiments. In addition to physical education, a 1-hour recess per day allows every student to participate in sports activities and competitions. In addition to the daily music and art courses, the school has set up more than 40 interest groups, and students can choose according to their preferences.

The advanced and solid teaching has made Baishida have an amazing record on the track of the junior high school. In 2017, 15 of the 125 graduates of Baishida were admitted to Shenzhen Middle School, 18 were admitted to Shenzhen Foreign School, 28 were admitted to Baihe Foreign Chinese, and 102 received the admission notice of Ideal Middle School in advance before the junior high school degree allocation. In 2016, as many as 17, 14 and 36 students were admitted to the Chinese of Shenzhen High School, Shenzhen Foreign School, and Lily Foreign School.

If it is said that it is the father who fights for the famous public school, then there is still a baby for the famous private school. Although it is not as limited as Donghai Primary School, the tuition fee of Baishida is high and rising year by year, reaching 21,000 yuan per semester in the fall of 2018, which alone is out of reach for most families. It admits only about 120 students each year, and the number of interviews is as high as 1,200, plus the students who do not pass the document review before the interview, its acceptance rate is less than 1 in 10.

The interview is very flexible, and does not pay attention to the child's early education, but focuses on the child's reading habits, learning ability, athletic ability, etc. For example, in the interview, the child will be asked if he likes to read, who usually tells him a story, and let the child look at pictures to tell the story; In the English test, the "shape" words will be taught first, and then the child's memory and comprehension ability will be tested. It will also let the children perform their talents.

In terms of living, Besta has a free lunch care and a paid lunch reservation. Students are not forced to take a nap, so if they need to take a nap, they can bring their own pillows to rest in the classroom. 1 hour of free evening care (15:15-16:15) is also provided after school in the afternoon, but there is no school bus pick-up.

Tuition: 21,000 RMB/semester (including books)
