Background

The school was founded in 2000 by Maxim's heiress and CPPCC member Annie Wu, through her Chinese History and Culture Educational Foundation.[1]

The premises occupy a total area of approximately 7,460 square metres.

Controversy

In 2019, school founder Annie Wu controversially put pressure on the school to punish staff and students who supported the ongoing pro-democracy protests.[2] Alumni gathered outside the entrance on September 4, 2019 to express their disappointment and anger towards the school's unsupportive attitude.[3]

gollark: At least use lossless compression.
gollark: I mean on the ban *page* it has a "funny" GIF or something. There was that thing with scanning a QR code to log in a while ago which was also made worse by them being unclear.
gollark: It's bad UX to make people have to try and search for useful features. Same with the "fun" messages on bans and whatnot instead of useful usable descriptions.
gollark: Discord should really make it an actual visible documented switch.
gollark: What is "sleep"?
