About

Description
Ever since its establishment in 1980, the Cantonese Opera Academy (COA) of Hong Kong has always borne the mission of inheriting and passing on the art and culture of Cantonese Opera. With an art direction rooted in skill excellence and characteristics of traditional Cantonese Opera, the COA has encouraged innovation and development based on tradition. The goal is to nurture new generations of actors and backstage staff for the industry. Under the precise leadership of Dr Liza Wang, Chairman of the Chinese Artists Association of Hong Kong, the Academyhas determined to reform. Nowadays, our main roles include nurturing the new generations, professional training, and popularizing Cantonese Opera education.
For over 25 years FOCUS has been a trusted resource for Hong Kong parents, educators and medical professionals seeking to learn how to better support the academic and social lives of children with mainstream learning differences. FOCUS aims to improve educational and life outcomes of children with AD/HD and SpLD by expanding understanding and raising awareness of what it means to have a mind that learns differently Our mission is is to improve the education of mainstream students who are challenged by Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) by providing accurate evidence-based information, practical strategies and support to parents and professionals in education and healthcare and by improving understanding of how learning differences impact youth both emotionally and academically.
