BANZ has successfully built global campuses with "one brand, two models and three countries". BANZ Shanghai offers the Chinese National Curriculum and the Whole Person Core Literacy Curriculum, which aims to cultivate students' national identity and critical thinking. BANZ Singapore offers A-Level, O-Level and VCE programs. Located at the crossroads of Chinese and Western cultures in Asia, it emphasizes the spirit of multiculturalism. BANZ UK features well-established A-Level curricula and an original British elite education. Each BANZer can choose the most appropriate platform for their growth in Shanghai, Singapore or Abbotsholme, UK. They will also broaden their global perspectives, increase their practical opportunities and strengthen their academic skills through the global campus rotation model of "cross-campus learning experience within a career" during their studies.
Studying at campuses in different countries and regions, as well as interacting with teachers and classmates from diverse backgrounds, has an important practical significance and long-term impact on enhancing BANZers' cultural appreciation, understanding of different academic concepts, and the depth and breadth of their learning.
The BANZ Global Centre (UK) is located on the Abbotsholme Campus in the UK. The campus is located in the heart of England, with over 130 years of history, two hours from the capital city of London. Abbotsholme is also the birthplace of New Education in Europe and a member of Round Square, the world's leading consortium of schools committed to character education and experiential learning. The campus covers an area of 140 acres, with natural rivers, an exclusive British Horse Society (BHS) certified horse farm, modern art studios, photography studios, a film center, a performing arts theater, and a multimedia research center. Here BANZers can enjoy the British "noble" education in a beautiful and vibrant environment.
