The kindergarten offers an open, fluid learning environment where lessons and activities are held both inside and outside of the classroom. It is a vibrant and exciting space for young learners.Classes operate in pairs for each age group with each staffed by one Chinese teacher and one international teacher with additional assistant support.

The open plan nature of the building not only supports flexible and progressive learning but also fosters a sense of real belonging to the whole kindergarten. The outdoor environment at the kindergarten is as exciting as inside. Children are encouraged to have a sense of adventure, an inquisitive mind and a pair of Wellington boots, as they play, explore and collaborate utilising every inch and shaping the space within which they learn.BackgroundThe school was founded with the strong support of the local government, through a partnership between two world-leading schools – Nanjing Foreign Language School, China and King’s College School, Wimbledon, UK – all of whom aimed to build a “school of the future” which focuses on providing well-rounded education.
