The campus is located in Shenzhen, Guangdong, in the Yantian District at 33 Huanmei Road, Damaisha. Three dormitory areas sit by Qing Shui Lake, in the Damaisha area near the mountains and the sea. A professional residential life team supports boarding life, including life teachers and dorm staff. The dormitory system comprises eight houses named after historical Chinese dynasties, with at least six mentors in each house to support students through high school. There are more than 60 clubs offering after‑school activities, ranging from performing arts to robotics. A mentor program coordinates communication among families, students, and the school within the high school experience.
The school provides 11 team sports and 14 sports clubs for student‑athletes. It competes in international school events through ISL and regional competitions such as SISAC, PRC, and ISSFHK. The Sharks Sports Team was established in August 2019, marking the start of the school's international athletic competition. Coaches emphasize readiness, sportsmanship, perseverance, and fair play as core values of the program.
The curriculum offers three tracks: US Track (USTrack), UK Track, and the Arts Academy (VMAA). US Track includes foundation courses, honors courses, AP, and Post‑AP pathways. UK Track includes foundation courses (Chinese national curriculum and IGCSE) and A‑Level courses (AS and A2). The Arts Academy provides specialized art training (visual and performing arts) with world‑class mentors and opportunities for workshops, alongside cultural studies to support a broader education. Class sizes are small (up to 25 students), and education emphasizes 21st‑century skills and project‑based, student‑centered learning. The school holds WASC full accreditation, Cambridge CAIE, AP Capstone, NACAC, IACAC, and China ICAC affiliations, and offers Chinese culture courses and English‑language achievement (40 English credits) to support bilingual proficiency.
There are more than 60 clubs, with offerings spanning performing arts and robotics; each club has a supervising teacher and scheduled weekly activities. The Arts Academy includes Visual Arts and Performing Arts programs with instruction from international masters and opportunities to participate in master classes and workshops.
Vanke Meisha Academy (VMA) is located at No.33, Huanmei Road, Dameisha, Yantian District, Shenzhen; the school site lists this contact address and refers to the Dameisha natural environment in staff testimonials. The academy organizes teaching across three course strands — a Sino‑American pathway (with AP offerings), a Sino‑British pathway (IGCSE → A‑Level), and an Arts Academy — and describes its curriculum design as drawing on IB principles alongside Chinese national, Cambridge and US AP elements. VMA states its enrolment is about 700 students (roughly 90% academic pathway, 10% arts pathway) and that teaching groups are kept small (teaching classes are described as 20–25 students). The site lists annual tuition for 2025–2026 as 270,000 RMB for academic students and 312,000 RMB for art students, with a separate accommodation fee and shuttle/bus fees noted as additional items. The school highlights its Arts Academy and STEAM provision as distinctive features (including specialist music and visual arts programs and international masterclasses).
