English Language Teachers

1.School Profile

Founded in 2021, Shenzhen Hong Kong Pui Kiu College Longhua Xinyi School (hereinafter referred to as PKXYS) is jointly operated by the Hong Kong Xinyi Group and Pui Kiu Education Foundation. As the first internationalized boarding school in China with both the national compulsory education curriculum and the Hong Kong curriculum, PKXYS is also the first school in Mainland offering a 15-year continuous education program for Hong Kong students. PKXYS is located on the northwest side of the Shenzhen North Station hub in Longhua District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, covering a total area of approximately 45,000 square meters, with a total construction area of about 180,000 square meters.

PKXYS introduces an array of curricula, covering both the Mainland Middle School Curriculum and the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (HKDSE), as well as international curricula such as IGCSE, GCEAL and NCUK IFY (International Foundation Year). PKXYS is the first school undergoing External School Review coordinated by the Hong Kong Education Bureau and conducted by the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications. The review report confirms that PKXYS is with an operational model equivalent to Hong Kong subsidized or directly-funded schools. Furthermore, PKXYS has been officially certified by Cambridge Assessment International and Pearson Edexcel, becoming an A Level international curriculum school authorized by both institutions (with global codes CX221 and 95430). Also, PKXYS has also passed NCUK's review, becoming an authorized unit for IFY program.

As the first model school in the Greater Bay Area that directly integrates Shenzhen and Hong Kong education, we benefit from the rich resources of both regions, government policy support, top-notch campus facilities, and outstanding teaching resources. PKXYS integrates Hong Kong's curriculum, teaching methods, and faculty with Mainland traditional strengths in Chinese Language, Mathematics, Chinese Culture, Traditional Ethics, with an enriched language environment and internationalized culture. Such a combination provides students with a rich learning experience, nurturing them to be sharp critical thinkers. With a strong foundation in Chinese culture and an international perspective, students of PKXYS are always ready to seize opportunities in the new century, unleash their full potentials, and contribute to Hong Kong's continued prosperity and China's advancing into the world.

Our campus is adjacent to Shenzhenbei Railway Station (Shenzhen High Speed Rail Terminus) and Shenzhen Metro Line 4. It only takes 19 minutes and 21 minutes to reach Hong Kong West Kowloon Station and Futian Port respectively. Travelling between the downtown of Hong Kong, the northern part of the New Territories and our school is convenient.
