Secondary students are a generation bearing heavy burdens. The intense academic pressure, competitive environment, and stress from high school entrance exams in China place enormous anxiety on middle school students.

Why Hamilton, Not Auckland?

Hamilton is located just a 1.5-hour drive from Auckland and is New Zealand’s fourth largest city, renowned for its “Balloon Festival” and “Hamilton Gardens.”
