Vanke Meisha Academy (VMA) was founded in 2015 by the Vanke Development Group, one of the largest real estate development companies in the world. VMA is located in the Shenzhen, Guangdong, China and serves students in what we would consider in America as Grades 9-12. It is a co-ed, private, boarding school with about 700 students. Most students are from the Shenzhen area.
The mission of the school is to “cultivate world citizens and leaders with Chinese identity.” They hope that their graduates will “have the ability to communicate and cooperate with anyone and any occasion. They will have critical thinking and can analyze and apply knowledge.”
VMA can be described as a highly academic, college prep high school. Most graduates hope to attend college in the West. The list of American, Canadian, and European schools where they have been admitted is impressive. The faculty is purposefully mixed to include a balance of instructors from both China and the West.
