Certification

Since the opening of the school in the autumn last year, Ardingly College Zhongshan (Kindergarten) which follows the IB PYP framework, has been committed to continually improving and enhancing the quality of its teaching and learning. In less than three months of operation, the kindergarten has passed the official screening and rigorous testing by the IBO, and has become one of the very few ‘IB PYP Candidate Schools’ in Zhongshan (School Code: 062919)! This certification also reflects our strength and commitment to providing a high quality education to every student.

Based on the highly technological and innovative 'micro-city' design concept, ACZS's design has not only become a key focus of the local and Greater Bay Area educational community but has also quickly garnered attention and praise in the domestic and international architectural community. As one of the most sought-after entries in the annual competition, ACZS has been honoured with prestigious international and national awards such as the MUSE Design Award and the Golden Bund Award!

Collaborations

Ardingly College Zhongshan is committed to providing students with diverse learning experiences and a multi-track pathway to their future. In particular, the development and cultivation of early music literacy is important and will be of support no matter their future pathways. In addition, music literacy can support students’ performance in other academic areas. Last year, the kindergarten entered into a partnership with The Tianjin Juilliard School, the first overseas co-operative programme in the 100-year history of The Juilliard School, which is known as the "Harvard of Music", to provide children with a world class education through its ‘Music Essentials Programme’. 

ACZS has always considered catering to be the most important part of the children's development, and therefore we have always maintained extremely stringent standards from the supply of ingredients, our chefs, and the quality of our meals. At our first open day last year, hundreds of families were invited to witness our cooperation agreement being signed with leading domestic agricultural and livestock companies such as ‘Pagoda’ and ‘SZCH’, in order to continue to bring the best raw and high quality ingredients to young children to ensure their healthy growth.

An Outstanding

Team

At ACZS, we have formed a school council with a visionary outlook and a fusion of Chinese and Western cultures, ideas, and approaches, with members from Fortune 500 companies and top universities around the world. One of the board members, Mr. Simon Huang, has been involved in the internationalisation of schools for more than a decade, organising several prestigious schools in China and abroad. In the last year, Mr. Simon was awarded the Influential Person of the Year by Sohu for his outstanding achievements and pioneering school philosophy and was appointed as a member of the first Board of Governors of the International Schools Division of the Chinese Association for Non-Governmental Education.

With its international outlook and forward-looking philosophy, ACZS Council continues to attract the world's best educators. Last year, the school welcomed Mr. Nick Nightingale, Centre Principal and A-Level Programme Director of Beijing National Day School, one of the four famous schools in Beijing, Dr. Colby Hazouri, who has over 10 years of experience in running schools in China and abroad and specialises in bilingual integration programmes in K12 schools, and Ms. Hannah Han, Director of the Shenzhen Pre-school Education Association and a former principal of two of the top kindergartens in Shenzhen and Ningbo. With their unique and valuable experience, they have joined the school and opened up endless possibilities for the future.

With the close guidance and assistance of a number of educational leaders, ACZS has been able to select a group of educators who share our educational ambitions and have a proven track record, with a offer pass rate of just 5% out of thousands of CVs from around the world. The team of teachers who have joined ACZS includes international talents who have graduated from QS top 100 schools in the world, experienced frontline teachers with over 10 years of international education experience, and a number of Masters & Doctorate holders bringing with them a unique perspective on education.

In 2022, ACZS completed the hiring of our school team and ensured all the kindergarten teachers were in place according to the opening schedule. As we enter 2023, we will continue to invite senior educational figures domestically and internationally to join the school's Academic Committee, the management teams of the different divs will be in place, and the team of frontline teachers will continue to develop at a high standard.

The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China kicked off at 10am on 16 October in the Great Hall of the People. General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important report to the Congress on behalf of the 19th Central Committee. In order to carry out the objectives and guidelines of the Party’s Central Committee for education, the school leaders and staff watched the opening ceremony of the Congress live on the Internet or TV, and after the opening ceremony, they summarised and optimised their future educational work in the light of the national strategy of invigorating the country through science and reinvigorating China through human resource development’.

Whether it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the National Day, or everyday learning life, ACZS uses a parallel approach to education that is both Chinese and distinctively international in cultivating our students to become global citizens who possess profound Chinese culture and national identity with the ability to understand and respect other cultures, and through positive aspirations become creators of the future world.

Holistic

Education

Ardingly College Zhongshan(Kindergarten) aims to create a multilingual learning environment for all children. To provide a truly immersive environment the language must be used not only in the lesson, but throughout transition times, snack times, both inside the classroom and in the public areas of the campus. This is the only way to really ensure an immersive language environment for students. In addition to supporting the children's development of a native bilingual mindset through circle time, play-based lessons and English stories, the teachers also used an English-focused environment to continuously improve the children's 'listening, speaking, reading and writing' skills.

In addition, we provide Spanish language exploration as our 3rd language, creating additional opportunities for students and providing access to over 70% of the world’s languages.

The kindergarten curriculum and framework incorporate the core elements of the IB PYP. We encourage children to explore different themes, areas, and materials through child-centred play and inquiry, authentic scenarios and items, and targeted learning and activities. We allow children to understand themselves and the world around them through independent and guided exploration in a variety of areas.

There are six transdisciplinary themes that make up the Units of Inquiry (UOI). This Transdisciplinary approach while sharing a common theme breaks down traditional standalone subjects and integrates Language, Logic, Science, The Arts, Social Studies, and Personal, Social, & Physical Development according to ability, interest, and individual contexts allowing students to think for themselves, take responsibility for their own learning and provide them an action point to continue to develop in a holistic way.

For example, on the field trip held last autumn, the kindergarten took the ‘classroom’ out of the campus and took the children to places such as the zoo, the farm and the life experience roleplay centre, helping them to complete a learning task with a different theme but with similar objectives through close integration with the UOI.

Physical Education and health plays a vital role in the development of young children at all stages. We encourage students to be active and interact with their peers and to learn about teamwork and cooperation through sports.

We employ a dedicated PE teacher to develop a robust PSPE learning programme (e.g. golf, fencing, health) for our students to develop core physical skills such as coordination, body control and gross motor development. Children will be supported and encouraged by their teachers throughout this process to ensure they fully understand the importance of physical activity, which includes learning about healthy lifestyles, healthy food choices and working to combine what they learn at school with what they are able to do and connect with at home.
