CTF Education Group (CTFEG) has announced the launch of the Education Hub project (The Hub) located in Panyu, Guangzhou in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). Opened in March 2024, the project, spanning 100,000 sqm, pioneers future ready K-12 (kindergarten through primary and secondary school) education.
Through its visionary “Kindervarsity” model, the Education Hub will create a new K-12 experience by bringing together a community of learners, educators, researchers and industry professionals for the future of education.
“Kinder”, from the word kindergarten, means children; and “varsity” means university. The Kindervarsity (“children” “university”) model applies the university framework, which comprises three core components – Schools, Research, and Campus Life, providing real-world experiences beyond the classroom that equip students to thrive in a future workplace.
The Education Hub creates a diverse and dynamic learning, teaching, and research community – to inspire, equip, and empower a new generation of learners. The projects includes Benenden Schools Guangzhou (BSG), Research – the Future Education Research Institute, and Campus Life, which includes state-of-the-art facilities: the Performing Arts Centre, Innovation Centre and Sports Centre, boarding residential life, and much more.
