About Jian Sheng Education

Timeless Education Since 1923

Jian Sheng began in 1923, founded by Principal Xiong Hui in Nanchang. The name, meaning “the sound of the sword,” symbolizes both wisdom and strength. Once a renowned academy, Jian Sheng was known for its academic excellence and legendary spirit.

Today, our philosophy blends Montessori, Froebel, and bilingual education — creating a space where children learn independently and explore with confidence.
