The keyword is "new" for creating a school. How can different educational curriculums be integrated and innovated? How can Hong Kong and Macao students be better integrated into the Greater Bay Area through education? As the first school for Hong Kong and Macao students in the Greater Bay Area, the ASJ management team is constantly thinking, exploring, and innovating.

Innovation is reflected in the curriculum. Not only have we designed the IB+DSE integrated curriculum, taking advantage of ASJ's unique resources, Hong Kong and Macao students studying in Guangzhou can also achieve a seamless connection with the curriculum in Hong Kong. 

It is shown in high quality education. Whether it is the study of the book series "My Home in China" or the monthly thematic study activities, ASJ constantly keeps patriotism rooted in the hearts of our students.

It is expressed in the design of the curriculum. Students are expected to explore, learn and practice first. They need to ask questions of their own accord and then gain direction through their teachers and peers.

It also manifests itself in the teaching of students according to their abilities. We fully empower our students by offering a variety of interest classes, allowing them the freedom to choose and enhance their talents.

The ASJ management team has made a lot of efforts in constructing and developing ASJ.

The direction of the placement of desks and chairs in every classroom, the purchase of various books in the library, the design of teaching buildings and the practice of IB+DSE courses and so on were highly concerned by management team members. Only after careful consideration that the decision would be determined and each decision was teacher-student-oriented and education-oriented. Moreover, gaining the trust of partners, faculty, parents and students was a long-term process. At this stage, we beautified and updated the campus, we held lectures and communicated face-to-face with parents and students. At the same time, we welcomed a group of like-minded staff. We made a commitment to fight for a better ASJ with a brighter future.

With an indomitable and enterprising attitude, ASJ officially started on September 1st. 

All staff with rich knowledge and excellent skills couldn’t wait to impart the valuable knowledge to the lovely students to promote the all-round and healthy development of students morally, intellectually, physically and aesthetically. 

At this stage, ASJ had received attention from society, held extracurricular researches and activities, and built a good home-school platform for effective communication.

Time is fair to everyone, and the pass of curriculum development supporting visit and audit is a kind of recognition and affirmation. This achievement is a strong proof of the outstanding efforts and strong will of all the members of ASJ. It reinforces the need to be down-to-earth and take one step at a time in the process of school growth and development, and it also reinforces that ASJ continues to complete itself and provide high-quality education while growing along with the children.

At this stage, we bid farewell to the successful 2021 proudly, and look forward to 2022 confidently.
