A new campus dedicated to developing aspiring creatives and performers
CATS Global Schools (CGS), a leading education group committed to inspiring the next generation of world shapers, has opened a new campus in the Baoshan District of Shanghai – CSVPA China – dedicated to developing the skills and confidence of young artists and performers.
At the start of the academic year (Sept 2021), the campus, which has a capacity of 800 students, welcomed its first Chinese and Foreign national students offering a pathway to Art & Design, Drama and Music programmes.
Students at Grades 10 and 11 (ages 14-16) spend two years following a British or American arts-based curriculum on campus, with all lessons taught in English, before progressing to another CATS Global School in the UK/US to complete their final year/s of high school.
Students can develop their skills at over 20 extracurricular clubs including K-Pop Dance, Design, Table Tennis, Bioengineering and Computer Science. A popular club is Perfume D.I.Y, where students mix their own unique scents by researching and experimenting with raw materials. The club members also then look at how they can brand, market and sell the product developing their enterprise skills.
“We have seen an increasing demand for high quality, in-country provision in China.
“Despite the global pandemic and travel restrictions, students still want to experience an international education. In addition to benefiting from a rich arts-based curriculum, students at CSVPA China focus on developing their critical analytical, enterprise and human skills to prepare for tomorrow’s world.
“It’s important, now more than ever in the current climate, that students in China have the opportunity to experience an international education, and they can do this in-country at a campus with outstanding facilities and first-class teaching before progressing to a UK/US school to complete their high school education.”
