Hong Kong actor Aaron Kwok has confirmed that his two daughters are enrolled in the prestigious Victoria Shanghai Academy. The school, which also counts the daughter of Andy Lau among its students, is known for its bilingual IB curriculum and high tuition fees.
Why it matters
The story highlights the educational choices of high-profile celebrities and the competitive nature of elite private schooling in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong superstars Aaron Kwok and Andy Lau will have one more topic in common to talk about when they meet up in the future.
This is because Kwok’s two elder daughters – Chantelle, nine, and Charlotte, seven – are now enrolled in the prestigious Victoria Shanghai Academy (VSA), reported Hong Kong media outlet HK01 on Sept 4.
Lau’s 14-year-old daughter, Hanna, also attends the same school.
VSA is a private independent school in Hong Kong offering bilingual International Baccalaureate (IB) education through its primary years programme (PYP), middle years programme (MYP) and diploma programme.
HK01 reported that Kwok’s two elder daughters are enrolled in the PYP, which has an annual tuition fee of about HK$191,700 (RM98,935) per child.
This means Kwok, 60, spends about HK$383,400 (RM197,856) a year on both daughters’ education.
Kwok and his wife Moka Fang, 39, have another daughter Cheryl, who turns one in October.
