About the company
Lady Eleanor Holles International School has been founded to provide students in Foshan and the rest of Guangdong province with the opportunity to experience a British curriculum, learning style and environment, combining high academic standards with a wide range of extra-curricular activities. The school will be a dynamic, inspirational and joyful learning community where boys and girls enjoy working in a creative and collaborative environment.
State of the art classroom and extra-curricular facilities, combined with carefully designed boarding facilities, will attract students from Foshan, Guangdong Province and Southern China. When full, Lady Eleanor Holles International School Foshan (LEHF) will educate 850 students from age 6 to 18.
The School, opened in September 2021, is a joint venture with Trumptech, a leading provider of education services in China and Hong Kong, and Lady Eleanor Holles School, one of England’s oldest and most successful girls’ schools.
Following the tradition of our sister school in the UK, LEHF is a place of opportunity, challenge and friendship; a place for students and staff to take risks and become bold; a place to discover passions and talents; a place that nurtures remarkable people. Our goal is that LEHF students become expert learners, unafraid to tackle new and challenging ideas, prepared to take risks, and able to learn from failure.
We encourage our students to:
· be exactly who they are, whatever their current interests or future aspirations.
· benefit from the warmth, respect, and support of the entire School community as they stretch themselves to become their best, most confident selves, as students, and as citizens of the world.
· have the freedom to experiment, express opinions, explore and take on new challenges.
· be supported by strong role models and inspired by their peers.
· find confidence and strength and, acquire and build the skills they need to succeed throughout their lives.
