As a previous student of this school here are my true opinions and experience of the school. I have been a student in VSA for 10 years and my experience wasn’t bad however I believe there are better schools to send your child to. Firstly the school has poor communication between the students and parents about rules and announcement often leading to confusion between the school and parents. With constant faulty fire alarms and poor preparation and organisation for school events. Secondly the constant change of teachers with waves of teachers leaving this changes the proportion and ratio of new teachers to old teachers. Thirdly non welcoming culture for new pupils, one of my friends which joined in VSA secondary school a year ago has voiced out how she was treated poorly by other students with no one talking to her and the lack of support from her class in the beginning of the year. Students usually begin their class years at VSA since primary so new students in secondary may find it difficult to join in with the other students which have already been in the school for a longer time. The schools infrastructure however is extremely new and is quite advanced and well equipped, however these facilities may not be used by all students. Lastly I believe that this school should increase and improve on moderation between students grades as their is a large gap between classes regarding assessment averages with a lack of communication between teachers and the level students need to meet to get a satisfactory grade. But overall the grading system is biased and not the fairest. If you are considering to send your child to VSA primary school I would recommend that. However if you are planning to send you child to the VSA secondary school you should reconsider and look at other international schools. As VSA is not a diverse school with most students being chinese around 98% students being from hong kong or mainland. There are only 2-3 students in each grade that are not chinese. Therefore if you are looking for diversity VSA this is definitely not the school for you and your child.

READ IT OR YOU'II REGRET IT-教育的黑暗面/the dark side of education：當你付了大量的金錢，你願意讓你的孩子被剝奪接受ib考試的機會嗎？Are you willing to let your child be deprived of the opportunity to take the ib exam when you have paid a significant amount of money? 一所陰險的學校！！！THIS SCHOOL SCAMS YOUR MONEY!!!!!! If you do not reach a certain score(WHICH IS CONSIDERABLY UNATTAINABLE) they force you to take the VSA diploma which is not recognized by universities and then you realize that you pay an immense amount of school fees. That's very insidious. The school prioritizes attaining high average IB scores at the expense of students' rights to take the IB exam and have the opportunity to get into university. Moreover, this insidious strategy reveals the school's true priorities. Instead of nurturing an environment where all students have an equal chance to pursue the internationally recognized IB exam and gain access to a wide range of universities, they prioritize their reputation and average IB scores. This narrow-minded focus on statistics not only limits students' educational opportunities but also denies them the fundamental right to a fair and equal educational experience. The school also fails to acknowledge that students do not have enough sleep due to stress and mental health issues and excessive workload. This demonstrates the lack of consideration for practicality and student needs. They do not allow students to take the lift after 8:25 which is unreasonable as classes start at 8:30. I strongly advise parents to not put their kids in VSA as the IB is an extremely demanding program and they exploit you for financial gain. DO NOT ENROL YOUR KIDS IN VSA!!!!!! EVERY CHILD DESERVES AN OPPORTUNITY AT A SPOT IN UNIVERSITY WHETHER THEY ARE ACADEMICALLY STRONG OR BAD. YOUR CHILD DESERVES AN EDUCATION WHERE THE SCHOOL VALUES YOUR CHILD'S WELL-BEING, GROWTH, AND FUTURE PROSPECTS. I URGE YOU TO NOT ENROL YOUR KIDS INTO VSA FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR CHILD'S BRIGHTER FUTURE. CHOOSE A SCHOOL WHERE THEY PRIORITIZE YOUR KIDS' HAPPINESS OVER GRADES.

VSA is a toxic school. School Staff ignores and embraces bullying. They just want the money, their solutions wouldn’t solve the root problem. Walk away from the bully? Really?! Do our parents pay so much for this? Failed school. Been here for 10 years + and after I graduate I’ll flee this place. VSA stands for Violence Suppression Association!

The lunch is absolutely atrocious and overpriced, and it is extremely unhygienic and disgusting, the teachers are very horrible and some teachers are exceedingly rude.

Both my children went to VSA. My elder one couldn't wait to leave and I quickly pulled out my younger one after a year my elder one left. When my elder one left, he was so happy to leave and he is in a new school in the UK now and he told me that he had the worst time in yr6-8. Yr1-5 were like playing all the time in school and after school it was my responsible to home school him Chinese, English, Maths, etc. He didn't learn much from Y1-5 to be honest. It was seriously a wrong choice to send my children to VSA.

Ms. Lin - It shouldn't come to be a surprise considering the school is situated right on the side of a mountain. Secondly, high pay but terrible environment doesn't mean good teachers will come, most new teachers are new, inexperienced teachers that has come to teach for 2~4 years (as each job contract in VSA is 2 years unless of special reasons of resignation such as forced etc.), get some more experience they can use to fill in for their resume, and leave to other schools for a even higher paying positions and with students that genuinely wants to learn. Most teachers only care about experience on their resume, however some only cares about the pay and some genuinely want to teach, and in an environment where students are uncontrollable and the lessons you teach are basically useless because none of the students care about it? Those teachers eventually give up and just let the class do whatever they want, and I have countless examples for them. School claims they are "non-profit", don't let that word deceive you, (and really, they should remove it) only a tiny fraction goes back in investing of school to make it "better", all of the others are held by the company that brought VSA, as the school board itself is hired externally and have no affiliations with the company, the company holds all the money and give the school board salaries, hence calling it "non profit"

Alex Zhang - you are joking about the boar and snakes right? How can a big school have bad teachers? I thought teachers at Victoria have good pay, hence the tuition is not cheap. Please clarify, I sent application for my boy to go here. Very strange to come across this when I was searching reviews for schools in Hong Kong. - Confused Parent

I've been in Victoria for quite some time now, here is my, personal insight of what school life feels for so long. At start, being the innocent 6 year-old you are stepping into first grade, everything seemed perfect, but as you get older, that "perfect school" doesn't seem so "perfect" after all. Victoria Shanghai Academy offers great extent of different programs that are well planned, but poorly taught and executed. Well experience teachers leave to neighbouring schools such as Canadian 麻花视频 or Singapore 麻花视频. Many are new and in-experienced and others are mainly compromised of teachers that had taught in the middle east or Central Asia (Brunei, Indonesia, India etc). The explained new and in-experienced teachers do not have the knowledge to control classes which goes chaos at times, especially the young ones, where most of them outsmart the teacher and play games in classes nearly the entire class. Yes, they do have the qualification, but I personally think a good balance of both is what makes good teachers at a school. Facilities are Terrible - only what future parents can possibly see looks nice and high quality. Students wrote letters, asked and even begged for an improvement on school facilities such as fixing broken toilets which takes 5 months at least to get a toilet fix, broken hinges in the changing room at the swimming pool (Which in this case, it's been 3 years since students begin requesting, but never was our voices heard, most of the students believe that it is because most parent tours won't visit the changing room, but only the swimming pool, hence the school think it's "unnecessary" to fix)(Moulds are everywhere, and wild animals lurk around our school hallways, ranging from wild boars to snakes). Possible parents, I'm warning you, instead of things getting fixed to better suit students needs, they took their budget and brought huge un-necessary TVs which no one even glances at all around the school so that they can "impress future parents" on how "technologically advance" the "school and curriculum is" (After counting, roughly 2 each floor, 5/f and G/f has 3 and 1 large TV perspectively, all it displayed was outdated students work (Some where from 1-2 years ago, the time & date and some "information" on how "good the school is") Now let's point out catering... Chatwells - the catering company of VSA produces the worst food (As you can see from other reviews), food making students sick, vomiting etc, you name it, our school has it. If you're finding a school suited for your child, find it elsewhere, I promise, other schools provide better planned and executed educations than this school does for same or even the price.
