Origin and Partnership

Many have asked why the Mission Hills Group has ventured into education. Most would know that amidst Mission Hills’ diversified integrated sports, golf and leisure development, Mission Hills has been actively engaged in philanthropy since its founding nearly three decades ago. Many of the Group’s philanthropic efforts include funding projects in secondary and tertiary education in China and overseas, in sports development, in cultural advancement, in fostering youth exchanges between Hong Kong and Mainland China, in caring for orphans, in helping the disadvantaged in society, in supporting outreach programmes, and in both spearheading and participating in donation drives to support disaster reliefs.

The Founder of Mission Hills Group, Dr David Chu, was a fervent supporter of education and made numerous donations over the years to Overseas and Chinese schools. The late Dr David Chu was a firm believer in the power of education – how it can transform lives and change destinies. Since his passing, the "Dr David Chu Memorial Foundation" was set up by Dr Chu’s children to carry on his philanthropic legacy. Under the same spirit and values, his children have ventured into the establishment of education institutions. As Dr Catherine Chu, Executive Director of Mission Hills Group and Chairman of Mission Hills Education, and daughter to the Founder, says:

“My five siblings and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to study in the best overseas educational institutions, and we hope to bring such excellent teaching pedagogy and curricula into China, to enable our youth to have access to the best of the East and West, without having to leave home so early to study abroad while maintaining a solid foundation in Chinese cultural heritage and language. Our commitment to the development of a pre-eminent bilingual and bicultural school is to fulfill our father’s dream dating back to the 1990s, when he already had the visionary idea to establish such a unique school, but the timing was not quite right. It is now our honour and privilege to realise this meaningful and transformational dream. Furthermore, our school is not only a natural extension of Mission Hills’ existing integrated sports, leisure and community portfolio, but our students can immensely leverage and benefit from Mission Hills’ serene and idyllic environment, holistic portfolio and world class sporting partnerships (including PGA US, FC Barcelona, NBA, and more).”

Bromsgrove School’s desire to partner with Mission Hills stems partly from its positive experience of successfully educating international pupils in the United Kingdom over many years. Bromsgrove prides itself in the inclusion of children from over 53 nationalities in its School in UK today, all of whom attain outstanding academic results and go on to attend prestigious universities alongside their British schoolmates. As Headmaster of Bromsgrove School and Bromsgrove School Mission Hills, Mr Peter Clague, conveys:

“Education has the power to transcend the boundaries of geography, politics and ideology that sometimes blind us to the rich offerings of other cultures. Bromsgrove is an ancient and highly respected educational institution in Britain. Having found an immediate affinity for the ideals of Mission Hills Education, we sense that we have much to offer the children in Shenzhen. However, we also believe that we have much to learn from the Chinese way of teaching.  Blending these two great learning traditions continues to be an exciting and meaningful endeavour. Bromsgrove School Mission Hills allows us the opportunity to combine two bright lights to a bright beacon of educational excellence in a truly multicultural enterprise.

Furthermore, under our unique and highly engaged partnership, we support exchanges between students and teachers in both schools. Shared elements of our curriculum have allowed learners to move between China and the UK. Staff are able to train and teach in both schools. With the advent of high definition video-conferencing, we have been able to share classes in real-time and facilitated interaction between the schools on a regular basis at no cost. The benefits for language learning and cultural cooperation are truly enlivening.”
