Victoria Shanghai Academy

In my last year at VSA. I was one of the head prefects. During my 5 yrs there. I think that there has been a lot of improvements. It’s a good school!

vsa is a big school with a lot of staff and students. they say it is bilingual and focuses on both chinese and english, however i totally do not agree. most students here mainly speak english, and when they speak chinese they are like foreigners speaking chinese even though they are chinese themselves. some chinese even think they are american/canadian/australian. now if you think their english is good, NO. if you come to vsa then you'll know. so, if youre looking for a bilingual school, DO NOT consider vsa. isf, sis, and cis are better. if youre looking for a mainly english school, hkis cdnis are two good ones. if youre looking for a more chinese school, i think public schools are better and stricter, unlike vsa that is too... not strict which also makes the attitudes of some become bad. now, teachers. i'll just say some are good and some are bad. one of the good ones are ms choi, she made me from a person who cant speak proper english to now a almost fluent person. mr potter, one of the "bad" teachers once shouted at a kid for not knowing how to tie his shoelaces, and compared us to his three year old kid by saying his kid can tie shoelaces, are we that dumb? they arent perfessio

I went here until I was in 7th grade, and the experience is ok. Always start in Y1 though, or else you won't be able to survive the next 11 years. Always having a group of friends and people know you gives a sense of security, and it feels pretty good. Lots of clubs and choices, but teachers aren't that good. Most leave after 2 years and a lot are new. Barely any who has more than 10 years teaching experience, VSA can't keep good teachers.

Terrible university support, when I asked for some important documents, they didn't respond, leading to me losing out on a lot of options. Rarely are teachers helpful and caring enough of students. Overall, terrible. At least some of the facilities are ok.

very good school everyone should come here

VSA is a wonderful school, with excellent teachers, and brilliant IB learning. Students at VSA get a lot of hands-on learning and therefore learn to be a good global citizen before students become adults.
