The latest progress of Guangzhou Liwan ISA Wenhua Foreign Language School and Guangzhou Liwan ISA International School?

On March 12, Liwan Elsa International School held a press conference to announce that the school will officially open on September 1 this year.

According to reports, Guangzhou Liwan ISA International School is a K12 international school with Lingnan cultural characteristics built by ISA International Education Group with an investment of US$180 million.

The entire campus covers an area of ??90 acres, covering Liwan Asa Cultural School, Liwan Asa Foreign Children’s School, One Park and Two Schools.

Many parents are very interested in this school and come to ask about the school.

Before introducing Elsa in Liwan, please first learn about Elsa’s international education and see if she can go to school or if she can educate.

Elsa is rich and experienced internationally. Speaking of Elsa, parents in Guangzhou probably don’t know about her.

Since ISA entered Guangzhou in 2015, together with the Liwan campus, ISA has Tianhe ISA, Science City ISA, Guangzhou ISA Wenhua IB (with Guangzhou Foreign Languages School cooperation project) and 4 schools in Liwan Aisha.

In September this year, Wuhan Aisha also entered school at the same time.

Elsa’s background is very strong.

First of all, I am rich.

The construction of Science City Elsa cost US$150 million, Liwan Elsa cost US$180 million, and Wuhan Elsa cost US$250 million.

One school is higher than 1, and the construction interval between these 3 schools does not exceed 3 years.

This is said very well. Because it is impossible for the general group to spend so much money to build the next school when the school has not yet matured and the funds have not returned.

Secondly, the one with experience.

Elsa Education Group has gathered educational leaders and teams from world-famous schools.

Group Vice President Mark Beach: Formerly the founding principal of Hong Kong ESF (English Schools Association) Zhixin Academy Group Vice President of Project Development Stephen Lai: Formerly Vice President of Harrow International Management Services.

Craig Boyce, Group Education Director: has worked at the Chinese International School in Hong Kong for 23 years.

Zhang Baixiang, Group Education Director: was the founding principal of Shanghai New Era (Chongqing) School.

Gary Butner, Group Development Manager: Formerly the principal of the International Department of Shenzhen Tsinghua Experimental School.

Michael Urquhart, principal of Assa Tianhe and IB principal of Assa Wenhua Guangzhou Foreign Languages ??School: was the principal of Victoria English School in the United Arab Emirates.

Felicity Hewett, Deputy Director of the Group Education Center: Formerly the principal of the primary school of Beijing Qingmiao International Bilingual School.

David Edwards, President of Elsa Science City: Formerly President of Wesley Wesley University-St. Kiln University, Australia.

Paul Sebastian, principal of Guangzhou Liwan ISA Foreign Language School and co-principal of Liwan ISA Wenhua Foreign Language School: former principal of IICS (one of the oldest international schools).

.

After looking at the educational background of these management and leadership teams, in a word, they are very strong.

Reyes’ hardware and instructors are top priority. Reyes’ environment and hardware will definitely not let you down.

After all, it cost 180 million US dollars, which is more expensive than Science City Elsa. Science City Elsa's hardware is comparable to the first international schools in China such as Harlow and Tsinglan Mountain.

Look at the environment and layout of Liwan Elsa. A performing arts center that can accommodate 800 people, a multi-event-level stadium, a water sports center, a 400-meter stadium, a large library, a STEAM center, and an interactive learning space can almost meet the needs of students in sports, art, and other aspects.

It is worth mentioning that the school’s architectural planning also contains the simplicity, simplicity, transparency and elegance of Lingnan culture, which makes it international and down-to-earth at the same time.

Only when hardware attracts people's attention, software can impress people.

Compared to visible things like environmental hardware, invisible software like teachers are more interesting to our parents.

Because it is the teaching team that determines the school’s ability, level and core elements.

Among the teachers currently announced by the school:

There is a doctorate who graduated from Waseda University in Japan and has worked in the STEAM field for more than 10 years. He graduated from Beijing Normal University and has more than 19 years of experience in international course teaching and management. He once served as the vice president of Country Garden Higher Education in Guangdong Province and graduated from Henan University with a music major. He has been engaged in music education in high schools and primary and secondary schools for 30 years as an art director.

There are also IB coordinators with a bachelor's degree from the University of Birmingham, a master's degree from the University of Nottingham and 8 years of experience in international schools.

Surprisingly, I also saw a familiar face, Simon Smith.

Simon Smith was the boarding and moral care principal of Manchester Stone in Shenzhen. He planned to become the vice principal of moral education at Dongguan Songshan Lake Campus in 2023, but it was shelved because the Songshan Lake Campus was closed.

Now joining Elsa in Liwan, we can see from the side that Elsa is very charming and powerful.

Li Chunlei, principal of Liwan Aisha Wenhua School, said that in Liwan Aisha, the proportion of foreign teachers is more than 50%, and the proportion of foreign teachers is more than 80% in high school. More than 60% have a master's degree; more than 30% have teaching experience of more than 10 years.

These teachers come from the world’s top universities such as Cambridge, Columbia, Waseda University, Tsinghua University, and the University of Nottingham.

The ratio of Chinese and foreign teachers is 1:1.

From these data and famous schools, although we cannot intuitively feel the overall teaching strength of the school, we can generally understand it.

In short, the teachers are pretty good.

Liwan ISA has two schools with large differences in admissions and teaching. They are Liwan ISA Wenhua School and Liwan ISA Foreign Personnel Children’s School.

The two schools are not only closely connected and independent of each other, but also learn from each other and share campus resources.

This model is similar to ULC and NCPA, but slightly different.

The similarity is that as students of the two schools, you can enjoy campus resources, activities together, and exchange and learn from each other.

The difference lies in the enrollment targets and curriculum of the two schools.

Liwan Aisha Mandarin’s enrollment targets students from China and all over the world.

Elsa in Liwan has an identity threshold for foreigners.

In other words, if Chinese students want to study Elsa in Liwan as a foreign student, they may need to establish a foreign identity.

The course settings are also different.

Reyes’ Mandarin Chinese compulsory education stage is based on China’s national curriculum and integrates British and American curricula.

Grades 9-12 of high school (International Department) use IGCSE integrated courses as a bridge to offer A Level courses, art courses, and AP elective courses.

Liwan Elsa Foreign School operates under the license of a school for children of foreigners. It is more free and flexible in terms of curriculum content and teaching methods, and almost completely refers to foreign textbooks and education.

The kindergarten curriculum adopts IBPYP and EYFS, primary school IBPYP, junior high school IBMYP, and high school IBDP.

Therefore, from the perspective of curriculum, Elsa Foreign Language School in Liwan can be said to be a consistent IB school.

More questions: Tuition fees may not be cheap. Liwan ISA School has not announced the details, but you can refer to Science City ISA.

Science City Elsa’s tuition fees:

Kindergarten middle class and senior class: 250,000 yuan/year 1-3 grades: 270,000 yuan/year 4-5 grades: 280,000 yuan Yuan/year for senior students: around 300,000 Yuan/year. Lizhixia’s tuition is not expected to be low.

Number of classes: A maximum of 24 people per class for grades 1-12, and a maximum of 20 people per class for kindergarten to senior classes.

Available for boarding: Boarding is available.

Can Reshesha look forward to it? Whether it is Aisha from Science City or Aisha from Liwan, judging from what has appeared so far, they are both very attractive and very strong in all aspects.

Whether it’s background, hardware or teachers, Liwan’s Aisha is a sure thing.

But I am a little concerned that Elsa is expanding a little too fast.

In the three-year and four-year schools, the expansion speed has almost caught up with Beth, but the historical accumulation is not enough, and the educational foundation is still very weak.

In addition, it is not enough to prove your academic and academic performance.

Of course, opinions on choosing a school vary from person to person. The right thing is the best.

To borrow the words of Elsa, the principal of Science City, if you want your children to receive a truly international curriculum, it is not just a certain course, but a fusion of Chinese and Western curricula so that your children can receive a truly international curriculum. course.

In addition to academics, if your child wants to be fully developed in sports, art, community service, etc., Elsa will be a good choice.
