Victoria Shanghai Academy (VSA, Chinese: 滬江維多利亞學校) is a private independent bilingual international school in Aberdeen, Hong Kong.[1][2] The school uses the International Baccalaureate's Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP). VSA was founded by Dr Maggie Koong.
History
[edit]In 1984, the Victoria Educational Organisation (VEO) established C.S. Victoria English Primary School in School Street, and then Victoria English Primary School (Taikoo Shing) in Taikoo Shing in 1996. In 1999, C.S. Victoria English Primary School moved to Eastern Hospital Road, Causeway Bay and was renamed Victoria English Primary School (Causeway Bay).[1]
In 2003, Victoria English Primary School started implementing the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum on a trial basis. The following year, it received preliminary IB certification and officially became an IB World School in 2005. In the same year, the upper primary school of Victoria English Primary School moved to a temporary campus in Wan Chai and opened a secondary school to provide IB secondary school and preparatory courses.
In 2006 and 2007, the secondary school passed the IB certification for the secondary school curriculum and preparatory curriculum respectively, becoming the first IB World School in Hong Kong to offer all 3 courses. In 2007, the primary school buildings were merged and moved to the Sham Wan campus together with the secondary school.[1] An opening ceremony and open day were held at the school building in May 2008.
In 2022, a campus expansion project was completed[2] and an affiliated school called Victoria Park Academy (Chinese: 深圳丽林维育学校) was opened in Shenzhen.
