2027 Yin ao Arts Academy (YIAA) | Official Admissions Brochure


Shenzhen Yinao Academy of Arts (YIAA) was established in 2021 and is located in Songgang Art Town, Bao'an District, Shenzhen. It covers an area of 2,770 square meters, with a total construction area of approximately 7,000 square meters. The academy is jointly established by the Austrian Salzburg Art Education Alliance, Guangdong Ying ao International Art Education Management Co., Ltd., and Manjinghua Group. It is the first purely art-focused, internationally-oriented art education academy in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
The academy's motto is "Cultivate Virtue and Art, Pursue Excellence," and its aim is to nurture internationally-minded artistic talent suited to future career development.
The academy advocates the concept of the "School of One" through a professional mentorship system and one-on-one small class teaching model, creating personalized development plans for each student. Students utilize the campus's art space system for systematic, efficient, and practice-oriented course rehearsals, creation, and production. It breaks the barriers of exam-oriented and mechanical learning, establishing a growth and development path unique to each individual.

The academy centers its curriculum around the British Pearson BTEC International Program. BTEC, along with A-Level and IB, belongs to internationally recognized academic qualification systems. It emphasizes project-based learning and formative assessment, rather than relying on a single exam as the ultimate measure of achievement. Students receive comprehensive evaluation through coursework, case studies, role-playing, and other methods.
Extensive International Language Instruction
The primary medium of instruction is English, while elective language courses in French, German, and Spanish are also offered.
Coverage of Multiple Arts Disciplines
The professional directions include four core areas: music, performing arts, media and art design, and arts business.
Specialized disciplines include over 20 areas such as piano, strings, vocal performance, music production, drama and acting, musical theatre, dance, film production, and digital media creation.
Diverse Overseas Pathways through BTEC Programs
The academy mainly follows the BTEC International Program of the Pearson Group. Equivalent to A-Level and IB, it focuses on project-based learning and formative assessment, does not rely on a single exam for lifelong evaluation, and integrates language learning with professional practice.
After completing the BTEC Level 3 program over two years and obtaining the certificate, students with good language proficiency and portfolios developed during the course can apply directly to comprehensive overseas universities in Hong Kong, Macao, the UK, as well as top-tier art institutions.

Preparatory Academy System
Adopts an international preparatory academy management model (Preparatory Academy System). Students are incorporated into an international curriculum-based learning and living system, where they interact and collaborate with international faculty in an artistic and academic environment. This system balances academic development and the cultivation of overall competencies, aiming to align with the preparatory training logic of overseas universities and to help students adapt in advance to the academic culture of international undergraduate study.
导师制
(Tutor System) Each student is assigned a dedicated academic mentor and provides continuous personalized guidance. Mentors follow up on students' learning progress, module tasks, and further study plans throughout the process, regularly communicate one-on-one, promptly address learning difficulties, and dynamically adjust learning plans based on each student's individual situation.

“一人一课表”个性化学习制
(Individual Timetable System) implements personalized course customization with one timetable per student. Under the guidance of a mentor, a customized learning plan is created based on the student's major, foundational level, and further education goals. Each student independently plans their learning path, completes coursework in modules, and receives instruction tailored to their individual needs, accommodating different learning paces and supporting the high-quality completion of all course modules.
“Project Practice” and “Master Mentorship”


The innovative practice courses at Yin'ao Academy focus on practical ability and innovative thinking, breaking down barriers between different majors and promoting deep interdisciplinary integration between art and technology. Students form teams across majors, leveraging diverse forms such as technology practice, venue visits, and cross-disciplinary projects, breaking down single-discipline boundaries and realizing creative realization in real projects.


YIAA implements an all-English instructional model as its core teaching approach, while also offering elective foreign language courses in French, German, and Spanish, creating an immersive international language environment. The curriculum is structured around the four dimensions of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, with tiered instruction.
It integrates diverse classroom formats, including thematic presentations, lectures, film appreciation, and English interaction activities, combined with targeted training methods and learning techniques to fully engage students in language expression. Through continuous language input and output, students consolidate their foreign language foundation, develop cross-cultural communication skills, and adapt to the learning context of overseas art institutions.




Yin'ao not only focuses on the professional growth of students but is also full of care for them, with every detail carefully attended to.
Life and practice of international festivals: During traditional festivals and important holidays, the college organizes ceremonies and celebrations full of a sense of ritual—making dumplings and writing Spring Festival couplets for the Chinese New Year, New Year music concerts, handmade mooncake making for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Easter egg decorating, Christmas parties, and the 18th birthday coming-of-age ceremony, among others. Through hands-on activities and joyful laughter, the gap between teachers and students quietly narrows, and the campus becomes a true big family.。
TSPTA/PE Sports and Outdoor Activity Practice: In their spare time, the academy encourages students to step out of practice rooms and rehearsal halls to relax both body and mind through sports and recreational activities. The campus is equipped with facilities for basketball, billiards, darts, and other leisure sports. After class, students can invite a few friends for an exhilarating match or sit together to play board games and engage in conversations, releasing stress and strengthening friendships in a relaxed atmosphere. Balancing work and rest, with measured intensity, is the everyday essence of life at Yingao Academy.

PTC Home-School Connection and Parent-Teacher Tea Meeting: The YIAA Parent Meeting is an important monthly meeting that evaluates students' learning progress. By showcasing students' learning content and talents, it introduces and reports the learning progress of each student in every subject, allowing parents to intuitively understand their child's school learning situation. Through communication with parents, it reflects each student's life and learning at school and provides support for the care of students' growth.


The Night of Musical Excellence, as an important monthly offline practice course of YIAA, aims to assess students' learning achievements in the BTEC courses for the month and to present a spectacular international art show for parents, teachers, and students in the form of performances or programs. The Night of Musical Excellence sets monthly specialties and themes based on the learning progress of each department: “Music, Performing Arts, Media, and Arts Business.” Students collaborate with one another, working as a team to complete a rich and comprehensive performance for the Night of Musical Excellence.
