Founded in 1999, the principal of Nanshan Chinese and English School, Mr. Lan Jinren, is a strong man in the field of education, in addition to Nanshan Chinese and English, he has also founded Nanshan Foreign Chinese and Bao'an Foreign Chinese, and all three schools attach great importance to English teaching.
Nanshan Chinese and English is a nine-year continuous school, and the primary part is bilingual and international. The learning content of the bilingual class shall be carried out according to the domestic compulsory education syllabus, and the compulsory education shall be completed according to the normal way after graduation; The international class adopts the American education system, with different courses, teaching materials and teachers, and takes the path of studying abroad, and many parents who choose this school are also going abroad. As of 2017, there were 52 foreign teachers, accounting for about 1/8 of the total number of teaching staff. From elementary school, the exposure of students to English has reached about 25%, and by high school it has increased to nearly 50%. By the fourth grade of primary school, students can voluntarily sign up for a short-term (about 3 months) study abroad course in Australia, take classes with local students, and experience teaching and life abroad.
In terms of other courses, the concept of Nanshan Chinese and English is also more advanced. Compulsory and elective courses are set up in all nine grades, and the internationally popular STEM education system (science-technology-engineering-mathematics) is implemented from primary school, while taking into account social studies, visual and performing arts classes, health and physical education, etc.
In a big city like Shenzhen, many parents are busy with work, and taking care of their children's lives and going to school has become a big problem. Nanshan Chinese and English are intimate in this regard: the school has a bus every day; The school provides breakfast and lunch, and there is a life teacher who takes care of the meals of the primary school students. In particular, it is worth mentioning that today's children have heavy learning tasks and are generally under great pressure, so Nanshan Chinese and English have set up a "Sunshine Soul Cabin" and full-time mental health teachers to solve the mental health problems that many schools have neglected.
Due to the above advantages, the competition for admission to Nanshan Chinese and English has always been very fierce, and in previous years, parents even queued up all night to grab a place when it came to registration. Later, the school changed to a lottery application, and the scene was still hot, and applause would ring around each number, as if winning the jackpot. Although a notary public was present at the lottery site, the annual open enrollment quota was only about 60 to 80 students, which was far lower than the actual number of students, and its fairness was inevitably questionable.
Another disadvantage of Nanshan Chinese and English is that it may be too much attention to English teaching, and many parents report that the school does not pay enough attention to other subjects. Although you can go directly to the junior high school of our school, it is difficult to smoothly connect with the domestic exam-oriented education system after that. Therefore, if you are not determined to study abroad, you need to consider it carefully.
