The Guangzhou Affiliated School of JNU for Hong Kong & Macao Students (ASJ Guangzhou) opened its new campus on Friday in Guangzhou, Guangdong province.

Based in the heart of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Poly campus will integrate into the digital economy innovation ecosystem in Guangzhou's Pazhou area, aiming to develop a comprehensive K-12 science and innovation education system.

The new campus has established innovation labs focused on AI, robotics, digital art, and other scientific and technological fields. The labs were projects in cooperation with leading technology companies such as Huawei and Aridge, an arm of new energy vehicle maker Xpeng Motors.

"The initiative aims to connect the entire educational pathway from technology high schools to universities and enterprises, fostering a comprehensive talent development pipeline," said Tam Yat Yuk, chief principal of ASJ Guangzhou.

In addition to enrolling children from Hong Kong and Macao, the school, founded in 2021, will start enrolling children of overseas Chinese, foreign nationals, and returned overseas talents starting this autumn semester, according to Tam.
