The first BASIS China flagship campus 

will be opened in 2023, with a total 

investment of 1.2 billion yuan

Construction of the new campus of Shenzhen BASIS International School officially commenced on December 31st 2021

On December 31, 2021, the groundbreaking ceremony for the new campus of Shenzhen BASIS International School (BISZ) took place at the new site. This event marked the immediate start of construction of the first BASIS flagship international school. The new campus has been long-awaited by all BISZ teachers, students and parents. Completion of the project is expected early in 2023. Then BASIS international School Shenzhen will move from the Net Valley of Shekou to the new campus.

On December 8, 2021, Ascend (Shenzhen) International Education Group Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as Ascend Shenzhen Company) and China Merchants Shekou Industrial Zone Holding Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as China Merchants Shekou) jointly bid 183 million yuan for the Shenzhen Shekou Dongbin International Educational Site.

Construction on this educational site will be jointly undertaken by Ascend Shenzhen Company and China Merchants Shekou. The aim of this project is to create a state-of-the art 21st century school that combines the highest construction standards with cutting-edge technology in a vibrant expatriate location. After the completion of the new campus, BASIS International School Shenzhen will be independently run by Ascend Shenzhen.

Founded in 1979, China Merchants Shekou Industrial Zone Holding Co., Ltd. has always been committed to improving the quality of life. At the same time, through its commitment to securing high-quality educational resources, introducing world-famous educational brands, creating a new benchmark in the field of education, providing locations for a number of international schools, and supporting foreign investors in their investment and work in Shenzhen, it has made important contributions to the foreign investment environment and the development of international education in Shenzhen.

As the first overseas campus of BASIS Curriculum Schools, Shenzhen BASIS International School opened in Shekou Net Valley in August 2015. Based on best international practices in teaching and learning, with a particular focus on innovation and academic rigor, BISZ has developed both maturity and stability over the past six years.

In 2018-19, the first batch of graduates of BASIS International School Shenzhen achieved outstanding, world-class, university admission results. 14 graduates received 85 offers from universities or colleges of Arts and Sciences. Of the 12 students applying to US universities, 50% were successfully enrolled in top 30 US colleges (US News and World Report) and 92% were enrolled in top 50 US colleges. In 2020, 33 graduates received 167 admission acceptances, of which more than 50% were Early Decision (ED). Of the 28 students applying to university, 68% were admitted to top 30 US colleges and 93% entered top 50 US colleges. In 2021, 27 graduates received 189 admission acceptances. Of the 23 students applying for US colleges and universities, 83% were successfully enrolled in top 30 US colleges and 100% gained entry to top 50 US colleges. Those colleges and universities who made offers to BISZ students include leading US universities such as the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke University, Dartmouth College, Cornell University and the University of California Berkeley, as well as highly prestigious UK universities such as Imperial College London and University College London. Despite the influence of the pandemic and the tightening of admissions quotas, the ED list for the 2022 academic year thus far, is still impressive, with offers coming from a number of highly renowned institutions, such as the University of Chicago and Imperial College London.

However, due to the lack of a suitable location, the BISZ educational and hardware facilities have been subject to many restrictions. Furthermore, the school has been over-subscribed for several years. This May, Shenzhen Education Bureau stated in the “Announcement on the Selection Plan for the Key Industry Project of Shekou Dongbin International School” that the construction of a high-standard international school on this site will provide high-quality international educational resources for the region, attracting more overseas high-level professionals to pursue employment and entrepreneurship, and allowing such outstanding professionals to gain a firm foothold in Shekou and contribute to Shenzhen.        

Stunning design drawings 

were officially displayed

Constructed on the site of Dongbin Water Works, the BISZ new campus will be planned and constructed with the highest standards in mind. The total construction area will cover 85,000 square meters, with an estimated total investment of no less than 1.2 billion yuan. Hardware facilities will compare favorably with the best international schools currently in Shenzhen. As the BASIS flagship campus in China, the school will accommodate 1670 students, 670 more students than are currently enrolled. The new campus will continue to maintain small class sizes, with no more than 22 students in each class.

The land area of Dongbin Water Works is 17,110 square meters, which is equivalent to 40 standard basketball courts. This expansive space inspires imaginative planning and construction. The blueprint of a splendid future-oriented campus is about to come true.

According to the plan, the completed BISZ new campus will be similar to a miniature city, with open, blended, complex and diversified spaces. In every space, immersive learning can be realized, allowing teaching and learning to proceed naturally.

After the expansion, the BISZ new campus will continue to uphold our mission to “provide our students with a transformative early childhood and K – 12 education.” On the one hand, the school will guide students to obtain the highest levels of academic competitiveness, providing a future with unlimited possibilities. On the other hand, the school will comprehensively increase and upgrade teaching resources and cultural and sports facilities, emphasize teaching space as a part of education, and build a balanced education system that combines academic rigor with both physical and mental health, thereby promoting the development of the whole child.    

Fashionable functional 

areas take the lead

According to the planning and design renderings of the new campus, the latest advanced functional elements will add vigor to the academic rigor. A wonderful campus that promotes both academia and innovation is coming soon!

The design of the new campus is based on three courtyards. Individualized courtyards are connected functionally in series, with multi-level horizontal and vertical spaces. Connecting the three courtyards, a spacious and bright atrium provides the central hub of the campus. Spiral stairs surround the atrium, enabling students and teachers to connect with each courtyard seamlessly.

A variety of indoor and outdoor public spaces allow education to take place throughout the campus. Large steps, wide corridors, diagonally stacked outdoor courtyards, semi-outdoor courtyard spaces, outdoor terraces and roof terraces all help to provide a truly inspiring location. The extensive range of public activity spaces will provide students with rich collaborative opportunities, developing their independent thinking skills and passion for inquiry.

Breaking with the traditional fishbone-shaped single-row classroom layout, the innovative classroom model connects classrooms, activity spaces and office spaces in series to form a spatial sequence which supports individualized teaching.

Learning spaces are arranged to form a number of small teaching complexes, differentiated according to teaching phase. These include ordinary classrooms, functional classrooms, open spaces and communication spaces. This design echoes the needs of flexible teaching, creating an atmosphere of communication and exploration, and encouraging teachers and students to actively participate in interdisciplinary dialogue that is mutually beneficial.

The new campus will continue to provide students with "advanced, accelerated, rigorous" and challenging in-school courses. Suitably equipped standard classrooms, science laboratories, STEAM laboratories and other functional classrooms will be created with learning as the priority.

In order to satisfy the academic needs of students, a high-standard library is also essential. The new campus will be equipped with a library of about 800 square meters, designed to provide students with information on both cultural and academic matters.

Stunning cultural and sports facilities create a more diversified school life and cultivate the "soft skills" that are indispensable for individual development. The new campus is equipped with a theater of about 1,000 square meters, where large-scale gatherings, performances, awards ceremonies and other school activities will be held. In addition, a black box theater of 400 square meters will create an immersive performance environment.

In terms of sports facilities, the following spaces will provide students with extensive opportunities for developing their skills and improving their mental health:

A 6-lane indoor heated swimming pool

3 x 1500 square meter gyms (2 indoor, 1 outdoor)

A 200 m running track

Etc..

Last but not least, the school will build a planetarium, which will be open to all BISZ teachers and students for astronomy-related teaching and learning. It will be one of the few professional, comprehensive planetariums in Shenzhen and even the whole country. It is the hope of the school that our children can look up at the vast starry sky from time to time, and while appreciating the beauty of the universe, they will be able to plant the seeds of freedom, imagination, inquisitiveness, and exploration.

深圳贝赛思国际学校

贝赛思首所旗舰校区

2023年启用 总投资12亿元

深圳贝赛思国际学校

蛇口新校区开工建设

2021年12月31日，深圳贝赛思国际学校新校区奠基仪式在新址举行，这标志着全校师生期待已久的新校区、也是贝赛思首所旗舰校区建设即时启动。新校区预计将于2023年上半年投入使用，届时，深圳贝赛思国际学校将从蛇口网谷整体搬迁到新校区。

2021年12月8日，爱圣（深圳）国际教育有限公司（简称爱圣深圳）与招商局蛇口工业区控股股份有限公司(简称招商蛇口)，以18300万元联合竞得深圳市蛇口东滨国际教育用地。该教育用地将由爱圣深圳与招商蛇口共同建设，强强联合，以超一流标准建设和提升深圳贝赛思国际学校（新校区）的软硬件水平，在外籍人员聚居的南山蛇口打造一所高端优质的品牌名校，建成后的新校区将由爱圣深圳独立举办深圳贝赛思国际学校。

创立于1979年的招商局蛇口工业区控股股份有限公司一直致力于成为美好生活的承载者，同时也一直致力于聚合优质教育资源，引进全球知名教育品牌，打造教育领域的新标杆，先后为多所外籍人员子女学校提供办学场所，解决外商来深投资及工作的后顾之忧，为深圳的外商投资环境和国际教育发展做出了重要贡献。

深圳贝赛思国际学校于2015年8月在蛇口网谷开学，是美国BASIS教育集团的首个海外校区。依托全球教研支持体系，沿袭注重学术创新的教学传统，坚持用国际高标准来培养学生，经过六年的发展沉淀，学校整体学术水平更加成熟稳定。

在名校录取条件日趋严格的背景下，世界一流大学的升学竞争比以往任何时候都要激烈和残酷，深圳贝赛思国际学校以严苛管理和严格教导，守护学生的学术热情，提升学生的学术自信。2018年毕业季，第一位深圳贝赛思国际学校毕业生获得美国常春藤名校康奈尔大学录取，在此后每年的录取季中，学校都交出了优异的升学“答卷”，录取捷报频传。

2018-19年，深圳贝赛思国际学校首批毕业生全球大学录取成绩斐然，14名毕业生共获得85封综合大学或文理学院录取通知书，其中50%的学生成功录入美国排名前30的大学（《美国新闻与世界报道》，下同），92%录入美国排名前50的大学。2020届33名毕业生共收到167封录取通知书，其中收获早录的学生超过50%，在28名申请学术类大学的学生中，68%录取至美国排名前30的院校，93%录取至美国排名前50的院校。2021届27名毕业生共收到189封录取通知书，在23位申请美国高校的学生中，83%的学生成功录入美国排名前30的院校，100%录入美国排名前50的院校。向深圳贝赛思国际学校学子伸来橄榄枝的学校包括美国的芝加哥大学、西北大学、约翰霍普金斯大学、杜克大学、达特茅斯学院、康奈尔大学和加州大学伯克利分校等顶尖院校，以及英国的帝国理工学院、伦敦大学学院等知名学府。在疫情和录取名额收紧双重因素影响下的2022年申请季，深圳贝赛思国际学校稳定发挥，在刚刚发布的早申录取榜上表现抢眼，其中不乏芝加哥大学、帝国理工学院等重量级名校。

不过，由于没有独立规划教育用地，深圳贝赛思国际学校的办学条件、硬件设施受到诸多限制，学校已连续数年出现学位供不应求的情况。今年5月，深圳市教育局在《关于蛇口东滨外籍人员子女学校重点产业项目遴选方案的公示》中表示，在该地块上建设高水平外籍人员子女学校，将为区域内提供优质的国际化配套教育资源，有助于吸引更多的海外高层次人才来深就业创业，让更多优秀人才扎根蛇口、服务深圳。

深圳贝赛思国际学校（新校区）将在东滨水厂地块上高起点规划，高规格建设，总建筑面积将达85000平方米，总投资预计不少于12亿，建成后将成为深圳硬件设施最好的国际学校之一，也将成为贝赛思旗舰校区。新校区继续实行小班化教学，每班学生最多不超过22名，可容纳学位数量将从现在的1000个增加到1670个。

东滨水厂地块土地面积达17110平方米，相当于40个标准篮球场，扩容后的校园空间拓展了校区规划建设的想像空间，一座面向未来的美好校园即将从蓝图变为现实。根据规划，建成后的深圳贝赛思国际学校（新校区）就像一座微型城市，拥有开放交融、复合多元的空间，每一个空间，都可以实现沉浸式学习，让教与学自然而然地进行。

扩容后的深圳贝赛思国际学校（新校区），将继续秉承“为学生提供具有革命性的学前和K至12年级教育”的使命，一方面指导学生获得超一流的学术竞争力，给予未来无限可能，另一方面全面拓展升级教学设备和文体设施，强化空间育人，构建学业严谨与身心健康的平衡教育体系，促进学生全面均衡发展。

通过深圳贝赛思国际学校（新校区）的规划设计效果图，可以看到，时尚超前的功能要素，为学校厚重的学术底色赋予了灵动的气息，一个充满学术内涵和创新氛围的美好校园正加快到来！

个性化的庭院与多层次的水平垂直空间串联。新校区设计将围绕三个庭院故事展开，两个室内庭院与一个室外庭院有序结合，中央连接部分是宽敞明亮的中央大厅，这里也是校园中心枢纽，环绕的螺旋形阶梯将师生带往各个区域。

丰富多样的室内外公共空间，让教育随时随地可以发生。大台阶、宽走廊，逐级叠落的户外庭院、半户外庭院空间、室外露台和屋顶平台……多元公共活动空间，将塑造更多属于集体记忆的小场所，培养学生独立思考、探索世界的能力。

创新采用 “教学组团”布局，符合未来教育模式。新校区打破了传统的鱼骨状单列式教室布局，将教室、活动空间、办公空间串联，形成错落有致的空间序列，便于学校开展个性化教学。每个独立组团也是一个小型教学综合体，根据教学阶段进行区分，包含了普通教室、功能教室以及开放空间和交流场所。这种设计呼应了“走班式”教学的需求，营造了浓厚的交流和探索氛围，鼓励师生积极参与影响学校未来的跨学科对话。

标准教室、实验教室、STEAM教室等功能教室更加完备，深圳贝赛思国际学校（新校区）将继续为学生提供“超前、加速、严格”且极具挑战性的校内课程。

为了满足学生的学术成长需求，一座高规格图书馆同样不可或缺。深圳贝赛思国际学校（新校区）将配备约800平方米的图书馆，源源不断地为学生提供文化和知识补给。

高颜值的文体设施，打造更加多元化的校园生活，培养个人发展必不可少的“软技能”。新校区配备了约1,000平方米的剧院，学校的大型集会、演出、颁奖等活动都会在此进行，400平方米的黑匣子剧场，为学生打造一个沉浸式的表演环境。

新校区还将拥有宽敞的风雨操场、篮球场、游泳池等活动场地，包括200米环形跑道及操场、两个约1,500平方米的室内篮球馆、1,500平方米的室外篮球场、1,300平方米的6泳道室内恒温泳池等。

尤其令人期待的是，学校将建设天文馆，向全校师生开放，进行天文科普教学，是深圳乃至全国中小学中为数不多的专业综合天文馆。学校希望孩子们能时时抬头仰望浩瀚星空，在欣赏宇宙之美的同时，埋下自由、想象、求知、探索的种子。
