About TWEG:

Founded in 2002 on a vision of the development of the whole child, Tungwah is a highly respected organization in Guangdong within the education and healthcare sectors. The hiring campus is TWEG’s newest international school addition, Tungwah International School, opening September 2019. Our campus is along the beautiful Songshan Lake, an hour away from both Hong Kong, Macau and Shenzhen. The international campus expects IB accreditation for primary through secondary schools. In addition to serving ages 3-18, the greater campus also includes a Tung Wah Hospital, sports facility.

About Our Kindergarten

Our multilingual (English, Mandarin, and French) kindergarten provides an enriching international early years’ experience for young students ages 3-6. As one the most innovative kindergartens in Dongguan, our students benefit from access to world-class facilities including the following: two highly equipped STEAM workshops; well-resourced Montessori classrooms each with adjacent art studios; a comprehensive library; three naturally-inspired outdoor play spaces including gardens and a mini “forest” reserve; a large dance and music room; and a floor dedicated to teacher research.

Our kindergarten campus caters to both domestic and international families. While large in scale, our school seeks to create intimate classroom communities with low teacher-student ratios and collaborative teaching practices, enabling each child to be known, valued, and guided as an individual. Our children thrive in a supportive, physically and emotionally safe environment where they become flexible thinkers and creative problem solvers who take risks and actively engage in their world.

Our objective is to provide a progressive education environment that fosters curiosity and independence through child-directed learning. Our core curriculum supports 21st-century skill and habit development through STEAM and nature exploration.
