Ardingly College Zhongshan(Kindergarten) understands the profound impact that a quality early education can bring to a child's future academic and even life paths. Therefore, since the opening of the school in the fall of 2022, the kindergarten has been committed to empowering children's early exploratory journeys through premium education, so that they can grow into confident young global citizens who are able to travel freely through different cultures.
With a consistent philosophy of quality education, and combined with the diversified growth needs of children and further expectations of parents, ACZS(Kindergarten) has ushered in a much-anticipated upgrade plan in this summer season:
Starting from the fall semester of 2023, the Kindergarten will welcome the International Class 2.0 upgrade, which will not only introduce Ardingly's unique Worly Ready Programme earlier, but also equip with the unique school advantage in Zhongshan, the full day international teacher!
International Class 2.0 Opens
A New Journey of Exploration
Starting in the fall semester of 2023, ACZS(Kindergarten) will upgrade all classes (including PN, K1, K2, K3) from two classes sharing one International Teacher to each class having their own full day International Teacher! The international teacher will not only collaborate more closely with the Chinese homeroom teacher and class teachers in lesson planning to continuously improve the percentage of English learning and teaching quality, but will also be deeply involved in the children's lives and provide them with a full range of native bilingual thinking development.
It is also worth mentioning that International Class 2.0 has clearer and more definite requirements on class size boundaries. When school starts in the fall of 2023, each child will receive more complete and individualised care in both academic and non-academic areas.
For a long time, ACZS(Kindergarten) regards education as a major mission in the new era, we aim to help children grow up to be global citizens with Chinese souls through premium international education initiation. Therefore, in the tuition setting of the International Class 2.0, the kindergarten will maintain the same price as previous(RMB 42,500/semester) to provide great educational opportunities in the new era for more families in the Greater Bay Area.
The Unique Programme Will be
Integrated for the First Time
With its strong school strength and high level of international education, ACZS(Kindergarten) is one of the very few IB PYP candidate schools in Zhongshan (Accreditation Code: 062919). In the International Class 2.0 upgrade, we have not only maintained our mature education system and unique curriculum, but also incorporated Ardingly's unique World Ready Programme for the first time.
Our Kindergarten World Ready programme seeks to ensure every child is ready for their next steps in life and prepares students to be ready in five distinct areas for academic ready，in order to help them to transfer to ACZS's primary life more smoothly.

Top School Leadership
in the Greater Bay Area
ACZS(Kindergarten) ensures a perfect start to a child’s education, where we provide for both academic and personal development within a caring school community.
In addition to love and patience, all teachers have been selected by the school for their academic background, qualifications, teaching experience, caring skills and personal character, and will work together to empower the children's childhood under the leadership of the kindergarten's experienced academic management team.
An Excellent Starting Point
for All-round Growth
ACZS(Kindergarten) also adheres to extremely high standards in environmental construction and healthy meals to provide maximum protection for children's growth and exploration journey.
We have invited a number of leading agricultural and livestock companies as quality partners, and hired a professional nutrition team to revise the recipes on a weekly basis. Through precise calculation of dietary nutrition and accurate control of the growth characteristics of children, we will work together to create a healthy experience for children with "less oil and salt, controlled sugar and limited fat, and diversified nutrition".
Mr. Alan Wang, of EVA Architects and former chief designer (education projects) of Perkins-Will, a world-renowned architectural firm, is an Australian and British Royal Certified Architect who served as the chief designer for our school. The design was created to be like it’s own micro-city, to encourage socialisation, creativity, and inclusion all within the Ardingly College Zhongshan campus. Our school spaces serve to empower our students with the core value of using spaces as a platform to enhance global leadership and global competencies.
The new upgrade of the International Class 2.0 not only creates unprecedented opportunities for the early language growth of young children, but also infuses these young learners with a continuous enthusiasm for learning through the analysis of their endless curiosity and desire for exploration. With the unique empowerment of Ardingly's World Ready Programme, it will shape the core literacy skills which will lead them to the world of tomorrow.
ACZS(Kindergarten) will hold it's Open Day on 1st July(from 9:30AM - 11:30AM).
