With its stylish dining space decorated with luxurious traditional elements and a wide selection of carefully prepared authentic Cantonese dishes, T’ang Court at The Langham, Shenzhen offers the same exquisite experience and attention to detail as its Michelin-starred restaurants in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
Recently, another “star” has descended upon T’ang Court at The Langham,
Shenzhen as Lai Man Kong, the Chinese Executive Chef at The Langham, Shenzhen,
makes a guest appearance at the restaurant. Chef Lai will bring a refreshing
take on classic Cantonese cuisine with an all-new menu featuring dishes made with
the freshest ingredients.
Born in Hong Kong, Chef Lai entered the culinary world when he was just
16 years old. Over the next 30 years, he developed an expertise in Cantonese
cuisine with his masterful cooking skills and exceptional kitchen management.
Chef Lai previously served as Executive Vice Chef at Hong Kong’s Lei Garden Restaurant, which is widely regarded as a
“Culinary Boot Camp”. Later on, he led Ying at Altira Macau in achieving one
Michelin star. After joining The Peninsula Shanghai in 2018, he
helped the hotel’s Yi Long Court to get a two Michelin star rating.
Chef Lai has a unique insight into Cantonese cuisine, which emphasises
that the “wok hei (literally “breath of the wok”) must be strong and the fresh
ingredients must be arranged in a simple and appealing manner”. On the dining
table, the “warmth” and “aroma” of dishes cooked over a strong fire represent
the soul of Cantonese cuisine and deliver original flavours. The beautiful food
arrangement allows diners to fully experience the skills of the chef and adds
another dimension to the dining experience.
Chef Lai will be presenting an all-new Cantonese cuisine and dim sum
menu that stays true to tradition, while also introducing some refreshing
changes. For example, instead of steaming a whole giant grouper, fish balls are
used to add a twist in presentation. The fish balls are laid on top of seasonal
vegetables for added freshness. Diners will get a chance to taste Prawn with
Asparagus, a dish that requires delicate knifework that few in this world can
execute. Fresh prawns are put through finely cut asparagus sticks before being
stir-fired.
Chef Lai also likes to blend different ingredients that he has
discovered in his travels to create dishes with unforgettable depth. For
instance, in Rice with Abalone Wrapped in Lotus Leaf, Thai rice, chicken, crab
meat, dried scallops and diced bamboo shoots are fried before being wrapped in
a lotus leaf and steamed. The dish is served with a special sauce and a
generous full abalone.
The new menu also includes reinvented Cantonese dim sums such as shrimp
dumpling in the shape of goldfish and shumai with a green skin made with fresh
spinach.
For decades, Chef Lai has indulged food lovers with Cantonese cuisine
creations that innovate on classic recipes without compromising their
traditional values.
Offering an artful blend of traditional cuisine and contemporary design, T’ang Court serves authentic Cantonese cuisine in a modern setting. Guests looking for an intimate dining experience can choose one of T’ang Court’s six private dining rooms. Elegant and exclusive, these discreet havens are the ideal venues for business dinners, a romantic rendezvous or family gatherings.

It is with great pleasure and pride that I have the honour of announcing GOS has gained the much coveted Accreditation from the Council of International Schools.

This could not have been achieved with the support and efforts of our whole community. I would like to thank the Board of GOS, the staff, parents and students for their support, efforts and participation in the process.

We are the Shekou kennel of the Hash House Harriers (SH3), a worldwide “drinking club with a running problem”. SH3 was founded in 1984, and we will celebrate our 35th anniversary this year.
We meet every Saturday at 12:45 at the Snake Pit in Seaworld and our bus departs at 13:30 for a trail run or walk in the mountains near Shenzhen. Our runs are 7 to 11 km long and occasionally include up to 700 m of combined ascent. The walks are shorter than the trail runs, usually ending up around half the length.
The trail is marked with flour or chalk and there are also ‘false’ trails set. One will have to find the right trail, or you can stick with the pack and hope they have found it. The trail run is based on the paper chase game Hare &Hounds, which is followed by almost all hash kennels around the world.
On
average, we have 35 Hashers every Saturday, and sometimes we have as many as
80. We tend to come back to Shekou between 18:30 and 20:00 depending on traffic.
To pay for buses, water, soda, and most importantly, beer, we charge RMB80 for
guys, RMB60 for women, and RMB30 for kids.
We are not exactly a family hash, but we are family friendly. Just note that there is some adult language, as is common in all hash kennels. Hashers can bring their dogs along if they want, but we can’t guarantee that dogs are allowed on all parts of the trail since we sometimes run through parks. When we get back to Shekou, we arrange for dinner somewhere nearby. Please note that the cost for dinner is not included in the original fee.
If you would like to join in with a hash or are interested in finding out more information, follow their official WeChat Account (ID: ShekouH3)
Back in 2013 when we had the
idea of creating something to help the Italian community in Shenzhen, we had no
idea how big the project would get and how far it would go.
When we first started out we
were only three Italian women from the south of Italy. There was Giorgia, a
Sicilian entrepreneur working in architecture and design; Paola, a sinologist
and talented cake maker from the Campania region; and Pina, a sinologist and
Italian teacher also from Campania.
In the beginning, we launched the website www.vivishenzhen.com, where we collect useful information and provide services that make life in Shenzhen easier and more interesting for the Italian community. We wanted to go beyond just a website and interact with the community directly. So, we started an official WeChat account. There we were able to keep on adding more and more content relating to lifestyle, work, visas, family life, culture, arts, history, and anything else that touched the Italian community in the city.
Vivi Shenzhen is a non-profit
organization and all those involved in the running of it are volunteers. As a
result, it’s brought together a group of people whose only interest is to lend
a helping hand to newcomers to Shenzhen who might face cultural and language
barriers.
Over the years, the team has grown and two new columnists have been working at Vivi Shenzhen for the past year. Adriana, a psychologist from Sardinia, runs a psychology column. Arianna, a fashion designer and influencer from Tuscany, heads up a fashion section. The team is also joined by our English Editor, Todd; a journalist that assists with the English version of the website.
With the help of the team,
Vivi Shenzhen’s goal is to help all the foreigners in Shenzhen on a range of
topics; from expanding their business horizons as well as to simply help them
find the best place to enjoy an authentic Italian pizza in the city!
Vivi Shenzhen is a virtual
cultural hub that helps both the Italian community and the expat community at
large. Over the years, we have not only organized cultural and food & wine
events, but we have also cooperated with international health clinics to
arrange first aid and CPR courses to help families be prepared.
Vivi Shenzhen also manages a
large and active WeChat group where foreigners can ask questions about any
difficulty or topic they come across in their day-to-day life in Shenzhen.
Through the Vivi Shenzhen WeChat group, everyone can share and pool together
their experiences to help people find quick and informed answers. This way we
can all build a better and happier life here in Shenzhen.
Our goal and our hope is to involve more people in our project and make Vivi Shenzhen bigger and bigger. Shenzhen is our city now. We love it and we want to share that love not only with the Italian community but with anyone who wants to be part of what we are doing!

Nothing beats a bar with
a great house band playing your favorite songs; be it joining in with some air
guitar to Bon Jovi or Guns’n’Roses, singing your heart out to a Lady Gaga or
Beyonce cover, or strutting your moves on the dance floor as the band play
Prince or Michael Jackson.
It’s those kinds of memories that can make a night out truly unforgettable. So, where can you find such an experience in Shenzhen? We listed some of the top party music bars in the city.
Hard Rock Cafe Shenzhen
No list of top party music bars would be complete without a mention of the Hard Rock Cafe Shenzhen. The world-famous brand has become synonymous with rock’n’roll, live music, and an unforgettable party. Now with the opening of the Hard Rock Cafe Shenzhen, people in the city can enjoy a night of live music at the iconic restaurant bar.
At Hard Rock Cafe Shenzhen, enjoy an intimate get-together in one of the two private rooms or you can go big and take over the entire second floor for an unforgettable evening, where over 180 guests can be accommodated.
Surrounding the large live music stage, the venue is packed full of rock memorabilia including a velvet suit worn by the King of Rock Elvis Presley, an outfit worn by Michael Jackson, and a guitar signed by The Eagles. If those legends could see the live show that the bar puts on, you suspect they would approve too.
Playing every Tuesday to Sunday from 19:30 till late is the rocking house band from Southeast Asia. Expect a hit-filled playlist that reflects the memorabilia and history of the Hard Rock brand.
The Brew has been a hub for the
Shenzhen community in Futian since their inception. The owners really support
the community and they show that through the music and event catalogue that
they offer. The Brew is a place that you can walk in on a Friday or Saturday
night and not know anyone but by the end of the night you’ll have a room full
of new friends.
The Brew shows its passionate commitment to the Futian community by supporting efforts like Captivating International and other local charities helping out. They support people getting fit with the K2Fit challenge, and they have been hosting bands from all over Guangdong and the greater Asian community. The Brew has hosted bands from Japan, Hong Kong, America, Macau, Africa, Canada and afterward they have playlists that cater to all types of music including hip hop, pop, funk, dancehall and everything in between.
If you want to hear an awesome band
with members from all over America and Europe come to The Brew. If you want an
interactive music experience and feel a part of all the action then we’ll see
you at The Brew. If you want to dance your face off with old and new friends
dance at The Brew. If you want to get drunk, sing at the top of your lungs, and
scream songs out for the band to play, get drunk at The Brew. The Brew is your
home away from home in the Futian community and everybody that comes is a star
and we are glad to see you every time. Every Friday and Saturday come rub
shoulders with entrepreneurs, athletes, educators, socialites, makers and
doers, tourists, and locals alike and all people interested in having fun. Be a
part of something special anytime at The Brew.

The Terrace
Located in a prime location in Seaworld, The
Terrace has long been established as one of the go-to places for live music in
Shenzhen. The legendary bar has been operating for nearly 15 years and has
consistently won “Best Band” and “Best Live Music” awards ever since it opened.
Few live house bands boast the credentials of
those that perform at The Terrace. Calling themselves Terrace All Stars (TAS),
the lineup includes a vocalist
that has won multiple awards at the AWIT awards, another who was a finalist on
Pinoy Pop Superstar, and a drummer that has recorded with platinum-certified
artists like Gloc-9 and Jay-R.
The Terrace knows how to get people on their
feet and dancing. The focus here is not on rock or jazz like at other venues.
It’s all about party music. So, if you are looking for pulsating live music and
a night to remember, come to join the family at The Terrace.
Shekou is a great area for the sort of live music that gets a party started. As well as The Terrace, X-Ta-Sea was one of the top places to go for some live music to get the party started. Located in the Ming Hua cruise ship in the heart of Sea World, it’s surprised the boat hadn’t capsized into the water with the amount of bouncing nights of live music that had been had in there. Well, X-Ta-Sea just got even better recently as it has now been taken over and become part of the growing Xpats Restaurant Group.
The Pirate X Band, the newly formed house band at Xpats Bar & Grill, plays six nights per week from 19:00 to 02:00. All the band members are long term legends of the music industry in Shenzhen; Carlos, Wesmon, Jolo, Tata, and Loti. During that time, expect to be taken on a musical journey through classic rock, metal, reggae, hip-hop, and pop from the Sixties all the way through to today. The wide and open stage is the perfect setting for a raucous house band and its not uncommon to see guests up and dancing down the front.
The Xpats team are already making big
improvements across the entire bar, including the complete rebuild of the
kitchen, a new menu, an ultra-modern stage and dance floor lighting system, and
much more. Recently, Mutant Monster played at Xpats Bar & Grill Seaworld
and brought their unmistakable brand of Japanese punk rock to Shekou.

The new convention and exhibition center is said to have a building area that equals six Beijing National Stadiums, widely known as the Bird’s Nest in Beijing, and enough metal roofing to cover 106 soccer pitches, according to the report.
Apart from its big size, its aluminum curtain walls, a special outer covering on its buildings, is another highlight of this magnificent construction. The aluminum curtain walls serve to keep off rains and maintain room temperatures, the report said.
Part of the exterior of the new Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. SD-Agencies
Over 120,000 square meters of the six halls of the convention and exhibition center that are constructed by CSCEC Fujisash Curtain Wall and Decoration Co. Ltd. have been equipped with such walls.
The thickness of each wall is 5 millimeters, which is 2 millimeters thicker than ordinary walling. The enhanced thickness can better absorb sounds and make buildings smoother in appearance, according to the report.
At Hall A9, there is a wall consisting of 4,084 diamond pieces in a geometric formation. The staff with the contractor of the project told the Daily that installing each piece by piece was difficult.
There is also a super door that is 8 meters tall, 6 meters wide and weighs 6 tons, and is an automatic system for roller blinds.
Residents will have a chance to visit the center during the trial operation, the report said.
The 8th Shenzhen Health & Wellness Fair held at Vista-SK International Medical Center last Saturday was another success! This fair boasted 19 product/service booths, including a new beauty area hosted by Beauty Lab, 7 food/drink vendors, 7 activity providers, 4 demo/DIY classes, 8 talks/workshops plus a kid’s activity area, which kept the 300+ visitors busy for the day. Attendees were also excited to receive their goody bag, which for this fair was a funky canvas lunch bag/tote.
Magpie was at the fair for the first time doing an early brunch, giving early arrivals a taste of their new spring brunch menu, with a choice of 3 different eggs benedict… all delicious. Hanover started the coffee machine nice and early to get everyone pumped up for the fun day ahead. Morse was swamped with smoothie orders, Lift On sold out of their nutritious meals and Compass Cafe’s sweet potato and black truffle fries were a winner. Studio Dolce especially made mini vegan carrot cake bars and 70% dark chocolate brownies for the day which were also well received.
Vista-SK’s Pop-Up Wellness Center was busy with people lining up to try out their physiotherapy, chiropractic and Traditional Chinese Medicine services. The CityPlus booth were helping people send postcards overseas for free, and were letting people know about their “Just Shenzhen” discovery trail, which everyone should try out if they get a chance. Beauty Lab’s area was providing a stack of free beauty services to try out, including sugaring and cool nail decals. The activity area was buzzing, despite a slow start with a music hitch first thing in the morning.

Ma on Shan peak. With a height of 702 metres (2,303 ft), stands among the ten highest mountains in Hong Kong. The mountain borders Sha Tin and Tai Po districts. This is one of the best hikes I’ve done in Hong Kong and it is really worth you doing it. This hike is not for beginners, there is scrambling involved as well as some rope/rock climbing.
Be prepared – steep rope climbing
It is best to start the hike at Ma On Shan BBQ site. There the trail leads up on the ‘family trail’ This will lead to what looks like a dead end, ignore this and hop the fence. That’s where the real hike will begin. It starts off easy enough, with a muddy but well defined path through the trees and vegetation.
Lush green surroundings. Perfect for hiking
Keep going up the path, you’ll come to a dead end and a barrier. Ignore this, hop over it and continue going up. It gets steeper and more challenging as you go up but it’ll be worth it. The views also get better and better as you go higher.
Panoramic nature around you
The trees soon disappear and make way for lush green vegetation and a mountainous vista ahead of you. Don’t stop, just keep going forward. The trail was excellent, the wind blowing and the fresh air around you. Invigorating.
Pyramid shaped peak
The trail leads to what is known as Pyramid Peak, I’m unsure why I guess it kind of looks like a pyramid (maybe). What do you think?
Immense views of the city
The views from the top are simply awesome, and well worth the challenging climb. You’ll be glad you did it.
To end the hike follow the signs and go back to a village and get the bus to Sai Kung, there is only one bus stop and one bus so you can’t go wrong. From there you can relax in Sai Kung or get a bus back to wherever you need in Hong Kong (there are many options).
Want to go?
Get the metro to Ma On Shan station. Head into the shopping mall, then go down to the B level. You need to get a mini bus NR84 to Ma On Shan BBQ site. The minibus is located just on the road. Look for the sign.
Get this bus to Ma On Shan BBQ site

Easy Bacchus is the passion of French wine lover, Cecilia. They offer one of the best wine selections in town – with each bottle chosen personally by Cecilia – and organize customized events. Easy Bacchus making wine tasting relaxed easy and fun for everyone.
Cecilia, or the “Shenzhen Wine Lady” as she has come to be known, has studied wine for a number of years. During that time, she has studied at the renowned Hotel School in Paris and has accumulated a vast wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things wine related.
As Cecilia studied more and more, she realized that the way wine was taught was too technical and complicated for many people. Most of us like to enjoy wine in a casual setting. It could be a party with friends, a meal with the family, or even just savoring a bottle alone one evening. All too often, however, wine is explained to us in a much more formal way using a vocabulary that can feel alien. Cecilia wanted to find a way to communicate with people about wine that was relatable and interesting.
So, Cecilia founded Easy Bacchus and developed her patented
multisensory wine labels to help guide people on a journey through the world of
wine to find a bottle that suits their tastes.
You can easily choose the perfect wine for you by following
the icons on a bottle of Easy Bacchus wine. You will find clear and
understandable information about the wine such as, the aroma, the intensity of
the wine, what dishes to pair it with and which occasions to open it on.
Once ordered, your wine will arrive the following day along
with the multisensory label, with its “scratch & sniff” patent. Scratch and
sniff the label to help you appreciate the aroma of the wine better and understand
if it will be strong or soft. The multisensory label can be scratched up to one
hundred times.
Cecilia’s growing selection of fine wine originates from
France, but has expanded to include other renowned winemaking regions of
Europe, South America, and soon also South Africa. The inventory changes with
the seasons and evolves as Cecilia shares with you the new discoveries she
makes in the world of wine.
Scan the QR code to follow the official Easy Bacchus WeChat shop and buy your favorite wine including the Easy Bacchus multisensory label:
Easy Bacchus is also available to organize specially
tailored wine education and tasting
events for Corporate and Individual packages.
Easy Bacchus Corporate wine events can be organized
for team building, customer events, or annual parties. They can be the perfect
way to bring a team together or to entertain a valuable client or shareholder.
Easy Bacchus provides
two packages, offering either standard or premium Easy Bacchus wines. Cecilia
will arrive with a selection of Easy Bacchus wines, glasses, and snacks. Invite
your colleagues, clients, or guests and enjoy a relaxed few hours of wine tasting
and education.
Easy Bacchus Individual
events can be held in a wide range of locations from restaurants, bars, co-working
spaces, or even at home. Feel free to open your doors for a private dinner or party
with friends or family.
In a relaxed environment with a friendly atmosphere, Easy
Bacchus offers some truly special wine to taste. Typically, they are red and
white wines, but sometimes rosé or sparkling. All wines offer different
characteristics, originate from different regions, and, of course, are easy to
drink.
During the event, Cecilia shares knowledge and experience
on wine including tasting, serving, pairing, storage, and much more. She has
plenty of funny stories and interesting anecdotes about wine and uses pictures,
videos, and an accessible vocabulary.
In the near future, Easy Bacchus will offer events about
how to read a wine label and how to make wine.
There is also the opportunity to sample authentic French cuisine at an Easy Bacchus event and Cecilia also comes into restaurants to pair dishes from the menu with the Easy Bacchus wine range.
Easy Bacchus, each event is tailored to your needs exactly.
Easy Bacchus also offers gift cards as the perfect present for that associate, colleague, friend, or family member that loves to learn about new wines.

of the ICC Cricket Club, tours with the badminton teams as well as helping
prepare and motivate them for their tournaments. Of course, there are the
players too. Nixon Antony (NIXI) and Labeeb Muhammed (LABI) represent the ICC
Chunks, while Prayag Praveen (RAY) and Collin Raymond (COLLIN) represent the ICC

THIS year, Shekou International School (SIS) celebrates 30 years of providing expatriate students with the highest standard of education and a truly international experience in Shekou.
International School Services (ISS), a not-for-profit organization based in Princeton, the U.S., is celebrating more than 60 years of providing quality services for a wide range of educational institutes around the world. The relationship between SIS and ISS began in 2004 when SIS signed over full ownership and governance to ISS.
In honor of their partnership, SIS and ISS held a three-day celebration from Thursday to Saturday, at the G&G Creative Community in Shekou, kicking it off with an official joint ceremony Thursday morning for leaders from the Shenzhen government, as well as education and commerce, who spoke about SIS’s contributions to the development of Shenzhen and its role at the forefront of international education.

“On behalf of the Shenzhen education bureau, I would like to express my deep appreciation for the contribution SIS has made to the international community in Shenzhen,” said Guan Su, a counselor with the Shenzhen Municipal Education Bureau. “It is my hope to see more collaboration amongst our international schools and local schools, to promote cross-cultural understanding and communication between our faculties and students.”
(From L to R) Lai Qiaozhen with China Merchants Shekou; Chen Nanxian, founding head of Yucai Education Group; Guan Su, a counselor with the Shenzhen Municipal Education Bureau; Liu Genping, director of the Nanshan District Education Bureau; Xia Guangzhi, vice dean of Shenzhen Graduate School, Tsinghua University; Dale Cox, vice president of International School Services, Asia Pacific; Greg Smith, head of Shekou International School; Chris Unger, former principal investigator of Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts; and Michael Ludwick, founder of Near West, pose for a photo at the G&G Creative Community in Shekou on Thursday.
“More than 1,000 expatriate families call SIS home,” said Liu Genping, director of the Nanshan education bureau, “…along with all international schools in the region, SIS has contributed to the 6,500 expatriate families from all over the world who have chosen Shenzhen as a place to work, raise families and contribute to the development of our great city.”
“SIS and China Merchants Shekou (CMSK) are deeply related, with the genes of our ‘Shekou’ identity,” said Lai Qiaozhen with CMSK. “ISS has supported SIS with world-class resources and educational expertise,” she added, “we look forward to great collaboration to create a brilliant future together.”
Chen Nanxian

Meet ISZAF: A Platform Connecting Artists With The Shenzhen Community
Written by
Maria Mogas & Brittan Aebischer
The International Shenzhen Art Forum (ISZAF) was founded by Brittan Aebischer in September 2016. After living in Shenzhen for more than five years, Brittan realized there needed to be something to connect and engage artists with the local community. Beginning with a WeChat group and a rallying call for all artists, ISZAF quickly developed into an active organization with an administration team, website, artist challenges, weekly figure and still life drawing sessions, gallery shows, an art zine, and monthly community art walk and talks.
ISZAF Administration Team at the Transient Exhibition, October 2018
The administration team is a
collective of individuals who volunteer their time and resources to connect and
promote the artist community. Each administrative member of the team fulfils an
important role. There is Founder and Co-Chair, Brittan Aebischer, along with
Gloria Carnevale, Co-Chair and founding member, who oversee general operations
and community outreach. Our Artist Production Coordinator is Catarina Braga,
our Chief Content Editor for our ArtSZine is Jen Nicklas, and our Community
Drawing Coordinator is Kumi Legault. Michael Williams is our Community
Mobilizer, and last but not least, is our Forum Lecture Coordinator, Maria
Mogas. The administration team works jointly on all projects and strives to
meet the needs of our community, while looking forward to seek out potential
opportunities beneficial to the growth of the community as well.
Founded around the concept of an
international artist society, ISZAF has quickly evolved into a platform for
international arts professionals in the Shenzhen area such as fine artists,
graphic designers, photographers, industrial designers, tattoo artists, and
visual arts educators.
ISZAF started with a clear mission:
To connect artists
and arts professionals to establish a dynamic, creative, and healthy arts
community.
To converse through
inter-professional and intercultural dialogue that supports the visual arts and
deepens the art consciousness of the community.
To convey the artists’ work, concepts, and discourse to the community at large in hopes to better establish more economically sustainable relationships between the visual arts industry and the Chinese community.
Figure Drawing Session Concurrence Photography Exhibition, April 2018
During its inception, ISZAF began
engaging artists and their communities with weekly live drawing sessions. These
sessions were offered to artists as well as anyone in the community who wanted
to come and draw. Simultaneously, ISZAF established comprehensive artist
challenges that were open to anyone who wanted to be challenged to make work
based on a set theme. The community participation in both the live drawing
sessions and the artist challenges quickly established the ISZAF community base
and since then has been the driving force for all of ISZAF’s activities and
sponsored events.

ISZAF also supports Shenzhen’s youth in their artistic and creative development. ISZAF co-sponsored the Shenzhen Bay Music and Art Festival in 2017 and fully initiated and produced the Kuku Chai International Youth Art Exhibition in January 2018. In addition to major youth art exhibitions, ISZAF assists in linking artists to schools as visiting artists or artists in residence. Our mission as an organization is to be adaptive to the artists and the needs of our community. Thus, we hope to be relevant and engaging to the transient and urban landscape of Shenzhen.
The Kuku Chai International Youth Art Exhibition
Ultimately, ISZAF strives to be a platform for artists and arts professionals within the Greater Bay Area (GBA) of Southern China. It is our hope that as the existing art and cultural market grows, we can establish a space for our artists to emerge and sustainably share their vision and work.

Because we believe that every student is a unique individual with unlimited potential, our mission is to let them shine in at least one passionate, purposeful pursuit in which they will achieve excellence, and as a result, lifelong confidence.
Therefore, we respect every child’s choice. He or she can be an explorer who aspires to travel around the world, an artist who inspires others with infectious enthusiasm, a scientist who strives for knowledge, or a caring community service worker that takes action to improve the lives of others.
