VBS teaches social and emotional skills through a school-wide “life planning” (人生规划) programme and related activities that are delivered across grades and involve classroom work, teacher-led training and parent workshops. The school runs regular projects and events that reinforce social skills and empathy, for example E_Talk sessions, student video contests on “friendliness,” group activities and a “warm current” peer-support wall described during the school's Mental Health Month. The curriculum and teaching approach reference project-based learning (PBL) and a growth-mindset classroom culture that aim to support collaboration and self-regulation. These provisions are described in the school's news and curriculum pages.
VBS describes itself as an immersion bilingual school with a teaching team that includes internationally experienced teachers and foreign staff; the school highlights “沉浸式双语教学” and an international/external teacher cohort. Those statements indicate a bilingual delivery model and access to English-medium teaching, but the site does not publish a separate, named EAL (English as an Additional Language) programme or targeted EAL intervention details (for example, pull-out EAL classes or staged EAL levels). In short: bilingual/immersion instruction and international teachers are stated, but no specific EAL support programme is publicly described.
The school runs an annual Mental Health Month with structured activities such as psychological group counselling, resilience and anti-anxiety workshops, student mental-health creative projects, and parent workshops (Parent Growth Academy). The school's news articles describe in-class group counselling, themed events (e.g., “Sunshine Mindset, Positive Life”), warm‑current peer-support initiatives and family–school activities focused on students' emotional development. The school's leadership and some staff are listed with psychological counselling qualifications, and life-planning staff are involved in psychological guidance work, as shown on the staff pages. These programmes and staff qualifications are described on the school website.
VBS reports a multi‑faceted campus safety programme that includes training and education on bullying prevention, food safety, fire safety and traffic safety, and states it has established a broader school safety management system. The school also notes it was recognised as a higher-level “Safe and Civilized Campus” (平安校园) by Longhua District authorities following external assessment.
Vanke Bilingual School (VBS) in Shenzhen is a nine-year (primary + junior middle) private bilingual school run by the Vanke Education Development Foundation and managed under Meisha Education. The school website states it opened in September 2018 and is based at No.80 Huanan Road, Minzhi Sub-district, Longhua District, Shenzhen. VBS describes a blended curriculum: the Chinese national curriculum is taught alongside international-quality courses (ESL, Drama, Science, Art, PE and STEAM elements), delivered through immersive bilingual instruction and project-based learning (PBL). The campus pages and admissions information note small class sizes (primary 24 per class, plus 1 reserved seat for staff children; middle school 32) and facilities that include a heated indoor pool, climbing wall and dedicated STEAM / maker spaces. For fees the school gives 2021 reference figures: primary RMB 58,000 per semester and middle RMB 64,000 per semester (the site says to refer to the current year's admissions brochure for up-to-date rates). All items above are taken from the school website.
